think that a lot of farmers would OBJ
ject to a levy like that, especially when
the county levy is 312 mills, but the
trustees explain that three families are
all that live in the district and they
have the railroads running through
their district and hence they can get
money for the education Of their chill
dTen in that way better than any
Other.
