We deem it our duty as citizens and
public journalists to call the attention of
our board Of school trustees to the fact,
that, at the last annual school meeting,
vote was adopted by our citizens au-
thoriziug them to loan, upon the faith of
the district, $4,000, for the purpose Of
erecting a school-building adequate to the
demands of our increasing population.
We have heard of no move in the direc-
ton of effecting such a loan, on the part
of the trustees, and, with all due Difference
to their Judgment and business capacity,
would respectfully inquire why such de-
lay in the matter is permitted to exist!
Why not 50 forward at once, gentlemen,
secure the title of the beautiful location
already selected and approved by the dis
trict bv paving over the funds raised for
the stipulated purpose and now lying idle

tempaled loan, buy the material and set
