court rooms Monday also denied
a petition for re-election in the
recently consolidated Woodburn
Bclle Paasl district and canvassed
votes on a recant election to
consolidate the Shaw and Aums
ville districts which was de
feated. In the Ehaw-Aumrville merger
vote, Shaw district voted IS tor
the move and 38 against while
Aumsville cast eight votes unani
mously in favor of the consolida
tion. The board denied the petition
from Bella Passl residents asking
for another vote on Its consolida
tion with Wood burn, which was
spproved by both districts on
March J.
Reason for the denial, the board
stated, was that both districts
involved in the election had fa
vored the move. If one of the
districts had voted against the
consolidation, a remonstrance for
new election would have been
in order. The petition sought to
break up the consolidation.
He same six districts which
had defeated a union proposal a
month ago have filed a new
petition in the Hubbard area with
the boundary board. The districts
are Donald, Hubbard. White.
Broadacres. Aurora and that part
of Butteville district in Marion
county and not now a part of the
Can by union high school district.
Site of the union high school, as
designated on the petition, will
he a tract of land on the Ben
Epper farm at the intersection of
Boone's Ferry road and the road
going wast from White school.
If no opposition to the proposal
is heard at the hearing then the
district boundary board may Issue
an order creating the union dis
trict. If remonstrances are filed,
however,, an election must be
held 1st each of the six districts
involved.
