Ended After -Four Years.

For oyerfour years a legal contro crss
hfs been in progress touching the diyi-
sion OF a school district in Wayne town
ship, b. lie county. Apetition signed by
a majority OF the voters in the district
was presented TO the superintendent oil
schools asking him to divide the district.
He refused and amandamus was secured
from Judge Aikens ordering him to do
as prayed for in the petition. He still
refused because meanwhile the state leg
islature had taken from the county sup
erintendent the power to divide districts.
He was fined for contempt oil court, but
secured a refearing. which took place re-
Gently before Jude Garland as referee.
The final decision is in his favor. The
fight cut o big figure in the last county
elections. H. j. Whipple, who was then
superintendent, has been displaced. Had
the division asked for been granted a
school building worth 81, 500 would
ave been transferred with it, and bonds
to the amount OF $1,000 would have
been lett without security.
