Vote Carries For
«
Purchase O f Land
By Harris Ellsworth, M. C. To Expand School
adjacent to the present school a
vote of 131 for to 8 against was
registered last Friday evening.
Only 140 votes were cast, with
one being throw n out by spoil
age. This vote authorized the dis
trict to take the back tax and
serial levy moneys now on hand
to purchase tRrce parcels of land
aggregating about 6 acres for any
future expansion of the school.
The land lies next to the tennis
court, on Pioneer Road to Easy
Street, and along Easy street to
a point alm ost opposite the pres

being worked out for tra n sfe r of
the property.

district debt. The money is on
hand, and if not used by the dis
trict, would have gone into the
county fund, and forever lost to
the district from which it was
raised.
