city school district for $4,000 is
likely to result in some lively discus
sion between now and the day of the
school election.
The members of the Tax Payers
league are to start the ball rolling

school board tonight to thoroughly
go into the matter. This committee
will ascertain exactly the additions
that are needed to the different
schools and the cost of such addi-
tions. The result of their investiga-
tion will be put before a meeting
of, the whole league. If the league
does not approve of the issue its
members are likely to start a fierce
fight to vote down the project.

sued a supplementary statement to
