H.L. THUMA RECEIVED LETTER FROM DR. RYAN
July 11, 1946
Mr, Herold L. Thuma
Pelmer,Alaska
Dear Mr, Thuma:
A petition from the residents of Palmey
dated June 4 and received in this office
June 18, came to ny attention when I re
turned to the office a few days*ago. The
petition requests the*appointment of Mr,
George Samll to succeed Mr, Carl' E,Wilson
as a member of the Palmer School Board, I
am writing to you, because your name ap
ppears on the petition, and I would appre
ciate it if you would, as far as possible,
notify the other signors of my reply.
I have talked with Governor Gruening
and Attorney General Rivers regarding the
authority of the Commissioner of Education
to appoint school board members in Nelson
School Districts, The Federal law seems to
be very vague in respect as to how school
board members are secured in case of resig
nation cr vacancy from other causes.
Both the Governor and the Attorney
Genoral have advised me verbally that it
would be best not to moke ar appointment
,at this time, Ihe two members of the Board
who are in Palmer constitute a quorum,and
business can be conducted in the usual man
ner.
It is possible that we will hove to
a rrange a special election or else wait
until the general election next spring,At
that time two members would be elected to
the Board—one to suocedd Mr, Wilson, and
one to succeed the regular member,whcse •
term is ,e_x,p,ired^ .Yecy Rvfln.
