Fossil Suffers First Defeat Three Districts Fair Board Plans Consolidate, One Program of Races Votes Against The vote on school district con solidations In which the Grass Valley, Rosebush, Buckley and Rutledge districts were involved resulted ln Rutledge and Rose bush consolidating with Grass Valley. The vote in the Buckley district was unfavorable. At Grass Valley the vote was 13 to 0 for consolidating on all |hree of the elections. Rosebush voted 5 to 0 for consolidation and Rutledge voted 1 to 0 for con solidation insuring those consol idations. In the Buckley district the vote was 2 for and 5 against con solidation. All votes were small and indicated no serious feeling either was at stake. Oddy the Buckley district stood to benefit by joining with Grass Valley as it has a higher millage and a smaller valuation which would have meant reduced taxes if consolidation had been voted.
