The Barnes City Case Taken Be.
fore State Superintendent
Barrett for Decision.
Poweshiek Authorities Want
Territory Restored That Was
Attached to Mahaska.
Controversy Has Been Cause Of
Much Local Strife at
Barnes City.

Des Moines, July 22.--One of the
that has recently been appealed to the
superintendent of public instruction
has just been argued before Superin-
tendent r. c. Barrett. Able attorneys
appeared on both sides of the case and
there We're numbers of the directors
and taxpayers at Mr.. Barrett's office to
listen to the presentation of the APP
peal.
The case is entitled Thomas F. Will
liams VS.. the Independent District of
Barnes City. Barnes City is on the
county line between Poweshiek and
N1ahaska counties. Territory from
both counties is included in the cor
poration limits. Two years ago 1T was
proposed to form an independent
school district. This was done regu-
larly, and territory from both counties
included.
In the municipal corporation are in
Guided twenty acres of each of three
separate sections of land in jackson
township. Poweshiek county. When
the independent district was organized
1t included all the sixty acres in the
corporation limits mentioned as being
In Poweshiek county and four sections
of which the sixty was a part. After
the Independent district was formed, a
movement was started to build good
school house in Barnes City. Then the
people living in the four sections of
Jackson township. Poweshiek county.
outside of Barnes City. asked to have
this territory with the sixty acres in
the corporation limits separated from
the rest of the district. They did so
under section 1892 of the code, which
provides for the restoration of part of
an independent district to the territory
to which 1t geographically belongs,
This restoration, the statute provides,
may be brought about thru the concur
renee OF the respective board of direct
ors. and shall also be restored by said
boards on the on the written applica-
ton of two-thirds OF the electors. with
the concurrence of the county super
intendent and the board of directors OF
the school corporation that is to re-
ceive back the territory.
County Superintendent Viola H
Shell OF Poweshiek county concurred
with the action of the board OF direct
ors of the Poweshiek county district
that was to receive back the territory
But Barnes City refused to allow the
transfer. Mr.. Williams, already men
toned. appealed to the county superin-
tendent OF Mahaska county. James ID
Dodds. The later declined to act, anG
the appeal to the state superintendent
followed.
Mr.. Doods holds the appellants ask
for that of which a portion is denied
by statute, and that there is no law
whereby the defendants are required
to restore part of the incorporated
town of Barnes City to jackson town
ship. Poweshiek county.
Judge Lewis of Montezuma appeared
as attorney for Barnes City yesterday
and CaptaifO. w. Carr. also of Monte

cision at an early date.

yards and directed them to board a

brakemen on the Milwaukee, and were
exceedingly familiar with the freight
trains. According to the testimony they

time.

county is largely a German county and
the bulk of moneys and credits are held

other counties. There is some OPPOSE

Thus far only about 10000 have been

attempted to Pat Crow recently to the

is much stronger against the tax ferrets'
