Eve months ago the householders of
Freeburg district presented a petition
| to the board OF education asking to
have the new school house located near
town. Said petition was signed by all
the householders of the district who
have children to send save one. The
board, after majority considering the
matter, finally consented to the wishes
of the petitioners. Then after objec-
tlon by one Of the members OF the
board, the vote was changed
to build on the old site. The
voters of the district, not being salts
fed, turned out en- masse at the board
meeting yesterday and again asked to
have the house located near town. The
board was evenly divided and the clerk
cast the deciding vote locating the
house on the old site. There is much
feeling in the matter. Frank Gulling
has secured the contract for new
school house in the Freeburg district.
