i EASTERN CLACKAMAS Devoted to the Interests of Eastern Clackamas County V olume 11, N umber 40 ESTACADA SCHOOL MEETING POSTPONED Annual Gathering Not Legally Called And Taxpayers Disappointed « Just because the confounded, red-headed editor of the Eastern Clackamas News modestly ob jected to the legality of the call- in*? of the annual school meeting in Estacaua district No. 108 on Monday evening last, said meet ing did not occur and a goodly sized crowd of taxpayers were forced to forego the pleasures of that annual occasion. The School Laws of 1917 em phatically and plainly prescribe the manner in which such annual school meetings shall be called, to gether with the proper advertising of same in the local newspaper. The omission of these formali ties was not intentional on the part of the school board or clerk, none of whom had consulted the laws in sufficient time prior to al low of proper advertising. The News’ publisher had how ever reminded the board mem bers of the matter a week or so ago, but too late then to have been advertised correctly and still have been called on the “Third Monday In June”, as fur ther stipulated by law. As it was, a big crowd of lo cal taxpayers gathered Monday night, at the school auditorium, all anxiousiy looking ahead to the election of directors and clerk and the discussion of o t h e r sciiool matters, in which interest u always keen. This assem blage was greatly dissappointed when Chairman J. W. Reed ex plained the reason for the indef inite postponement of the meet ing. The present status of the an nual gathering is now a quandry and may only be settled by some special dispensation f r o m the County School Superintendent and an opinion or two from the District Attorney, although the business can probably be ulti mately conducted by specially- called meetings. In the meantime the question arises as to whether the local school district will be without a director and clerk after June 30th, when the terms of the present incumt>ents expire? If a later meeting is called, it is safe to assume that the proper advertising of same in the home- newspaper will be done and for Concluded on back page E stacada ,’ O regon , Many Enlist For Nurses Training The First Aid Red Cross Unit now being formed in Estacada will not lack for members, as al ready over the maximum number of applications has been made to Mrs. H.
