After a 10-day waiting period the county court will then set a date for a special election when the five names of the seven or more names that appear on the ballot, receiving the highest number of votes will be elected as directors of the district. Watch for the date and place of the election which will be announced later and be sure to give your committee loyal support In this im portant cause and come out and vote. At a meeting of trustee represen tatives held Friday November 18th at Alturas. Lee Perry was elected to serve as a member of the new ly set-up county committee for achopl district organisation from the 3rd supervisorial district. According to Perry this elected board Is set-up as a result of re cent laws enacted by the state leg islators. It will be the duty of this board to make recommendations for Improving school district organiza tion. Any recommendations made by the county board must be approved by the state board ot education and then be voted upon and approved by the voters of the district in volved at a special election before being adopted. When questioned about the recent rumor that the suit line grammar school was going to be moved to Alturas he said he was shocked and flabbergasted when he read about It published In this column last week. He furthermore asks that any one having any Information on such a ridiculous move, to please con tact him, so that he can be better prepared to fight such a proposal If It should ever come up before the county board. Although Perry U strongly op posed to such a move, to his knowledge by law it would be Im possible for any few board mem bers to move the State Line school. If It ever comes about it would be because the people wanted it and voted for the move themselves at a general election.
