MONROE.
After one of the most spirited contests
ever held in this township at a school cleo
ton the following were elected: ]. B. Zim-
norman, Harry Crist, Amos Armstrong,
three years. Edward Marshall, two years.
The defeated candidates were James M.
Tweed and Joseph w. Simmermon. Mr..
Tweed has been member for the past four
years, while Mr.. Simmerman was only
aspiring for the place; he was an unsuccess-
full candidate three years ago. Mr.. Arm
strong and Mr.. Zimmerman had no opposi-
ton, as they were on both tickets. The
fight seemed to be waged against Crist and
Marshall, partly because they are Demo
Gratis and because they were not wanted in
the Board by the would-be powers of the
town; but the people had their say. There
has been considerable strife in the Board
during the past year, owing to the meddling
OF people who were not members, but as
the man who was responsible for the greater
part of the confusion decided not to run,
as no doubt he saw the handwriting on the
: wall, and as Zimmerman and Armstrong
the new members, are both good solid citi
zens, things ought to run along more
smoothly during the coming year.
The following appropriations were voted
for: Teachers salaries, 81 900; Fuel, $3.50
Clerk, $40; Repairs $500; Night school
$50; Books and supplies, 1915; Interest OF
bonds and note, 500; Janitors, 1925; Note
$500; Supervising Principal, $500. Total
So, 400. Bonds for new school house, $500
Note to pay teachers for said school, $500
Total, 81, 100. This school is to be located
between Williamstown and Cecil
ELK.
