Three of the creditor firms oI
Joseph Walpert, who has been
running a clothing and gent S
furnishing business here for
some months past, closed in upon
him the first of the week, and
placed the store in the hands of
the sheriff under foreclosure of
mortgage. The business has
not had the appearance of very
thrifty character, and the firms
bringing the proceedings had
mortgages to the amount of their
claims as follows: Straw & Ellis
worth Manufacturing company
of Milwaukee, $1213. AZ: Friend
Brothers Clothing company, of
Milwaukee, 81, ,593; Guiterman
Bros, of st. Paul, $500. Besides
the above we understand there
are some other debts for which
attachments have been filed,
amounting to between 5000 and
$500 in one case, with prospects
of others if there is anything left
to satisfy them. Messrs. B. A.
Dodge, of st, Paul, and Geo. S.
Rix represented the creditor
firms in the matter,
In another column will be
found a communication from
Mr.. J. G.. Elliot, the chairman Of
the board Of education, in refer
ence to the enlargement of the
school accommodations. Any
reasonable investigation Of the
subject will convince the investi-
gator that more school room is
needed, and with the very favor
able plan presented by the board
for meeting the difficulty, and
establishing the schools on a
successful basis, it would seem
to bea very short-sighted policy
to let a false economy stand in
the way of making the school
facilities of Milbank worthy of
the city and the best in this part
Of the country. Let every citi-
zen take the matter under ad-
visement, look the question over
thoroughly, and then decide if
we can afford, from any point of
view, to allow our schools to suf-
fer for lack of room, when the
same can be secured with little
or no increase of taxation.

To Divide School Townships.

|
introduced bill in the legisla
ture which will enable Blooming
Valley school district to divide
into two districts corresponding
to the Blooming Valley and Far
mington civil townships. When
the division of the civil town
ship was made by the commits
sioners last year it was found
that there was no law authoriz-
ing a division of the school town
ship, hence there has existed a
rather unsatisfactory state of
affairs. Mr.. Somers' bill is an
amendment to the old law and
provides for dividing townships
districts into districts of one
school each, also in case a civil
township which is also a town
ship district is divided into two
or more civil townships the dis
trict may be divided into dis
tricts to correspond with the
civil townships SO created. The
manner ola division is as follows:
Upon the receipt of a petition
which must be signed by at
least one third of the qualified
electors of the township district
it shall be the duty Of the dis
trict clerk to post a notice on the
door of each school house in said
district calling an election for
the purpose Of dividing said dis
trict into either districts of one
school each or districts CORE
spending to the civil townships
as the case may be. The cleo
ton shall be held on the second
Tuesday of March at a CON
venient place designated by the
school board at a regular or
or special meeting. The petit
ton must contain a plat and the
plat must be posted at the poll
ing place on the day Of election.
The petition must be filed at
least 90 days and the notices
posted 10 days prior to the day
of election and specify the time
and place. If a majority Of the
votes cast at the election are in
favor of division and the poll
book and petition are on file with
the county auditor, the board Of
county commissioners and coun-
ty superintendent shall at their
April meeting proceed to divide
the district according to the
petition and returns. The bill
also provides for the apportion-
ing of Indebtedness and election
of officers and also for consoli-
dating districts of one school
each into township districts,
should that be desired. The bill
is good one and will give the
state law that will cover many
cases which are sure to arise in
any state in process of settle
ment.
