GARY TO CANVASS HIGHSCHOOLVOTE COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT ASK ED FOR AN OPINION IN RECENT ELECTION CONTROVERSY NOT NEAR SETTLEMENT Residents Who Advocated Establish ment Of School Favor Prop osition To Call Another Election The controversy regarding the es tablishment of a high school In Glad stone has been appealed to County School Superintendent Cary, who will canvass the vote of the recent election snd probably render a decision Sat urday. The board ot directors baa decided that the vote was against the city having a high school or furnish ing high school Instruction to Its pu pils elsewhere. Heretofore the city has provided transportation and paid tuition for high school pupils In Ore gon City. Voters who favored establishing a high school In Gladstone, say In case the final decision Is against the prop- asition, they will Immediately ask for another election. Tbey feel confi dent that the majority ot the resident desire a high school In the city, and In substantiation of their contention point to a vote of 46 to 40 at the re cent election favoring the proposition. This vote, however, waa not consider ed valid by the directors, because the first proposition, which provided for the furnishing of four years' high school Instruction, either In Gladstone or Oregon City was defeated. It la contended that the second proposition although carried, waa contingent up on the first which waa defeated. The residents favoring a high school say they misunderstood the ballot and at least 20 did not vote on the first ques tion. In case the final decision la against the establishment of a high school and an election Is not called to voie di rectly upon that question again, an election may be Held to determine whether tax shall be levied to pro vide for -high school Instruction In Oregon City. Another election to vote on the lame proposition may be held If one- third of the voters petition tor It or If the school directors think the sent iment of the voters la for an election. SEA GIRT. N.
