Dispute Over School Property Will be Settled
Next Term of District Court.
The school board of Alma school dis.
trict has filed papers with the clerk of the
district court IN an action brought to OBJ
tain judgment against East Alma school
district for $500, the amount claimed to
be still due Alma district.
The situation in brief appears to be as
follows: The arbitration board, compris-
ed of W. w. Kingsbury for Alma and
John Mcbride for East Alma, and Supt.
Fox, valued, at the time of division. the
school properties in Alma at s1,40O end
in East Alma at $4,000, making total
of $1,000. According to the articles of
agreement East Alma was required to
pay Alma $500, each district holding the
property within It's borders. The East
Alma board now refuses to pay $500 of
this amount, claiming that an error was
made by the board of arbitration, and
that $500 is the amount which they
should pay and not $500, as stated in the
articles of agreement.
The plaintiffs have employed Attorney
j. G. Monnet, of Langdon, and the de-
PENDANTS have secured the services of H.
