says that he had previously talked
it ever with board members and
had been assured a clear track).
April 10 On verbal understand
ing, Hitchcock signs contract with
carnival and accepts $1200 down.
April 14 School board meets
and directs Superintendent Cram
er to transmit written offer of
grounds for $375, price of certain
fence, also stipulating sanitary
conditions of operation. .
April 15 School board's written
offer transmitted (never acknowl
edged in writing by Hitchcock, but
he claims to have discussed It
verbally with board members).
May 28 School board modifies
its offer at Hitchcock's verbal re.
uest and state (in writing) that if
pageant should not make money,
the board would cut rent of wit
lard grounds to $100.
June 9 Petition from neighbors
of Willard school protests permit
for carnival and board vines to
withdraw its offer.
June 10 Written notice of
withdrawal sent to Hitchcock and
ignored by him .
July 20 Carnival moves onto
grounds and telephones begin to
keep Hitchcock, Cramer, board
members, legal talent et als very
busy.
Superintendent Cramer alleges
the board was drawn into an em
barrassing situation through try
ing to help the pageant board with
its problsms and claims that Hitch
cock was hard to hold to his ver
bal promises as to toilet facilities,
etc. etc.
Hitchcock says that he went
ahead and signed up his contract
with the carnival company on the
gentlemanly assurances of the
- school board and that having dont
so and accepted payment he would
be e6mpelled to sue the school
board Should the pageant board be
sued for any recision of its con.
tract with the carnival.
In the background of the eon-
trOversy lurks some of the issues
of the recent school board cam
paign in which Dr. G. F. Beards,
ley was a candidate against Mrs.
C. L. Constance. According to
Hitchcock, it was Sr. Beardsley
who first raised question as to
possible infection of the grounds
leading to the efforts of the school
board to get positive clearance
from the medical association.
