ford ct a, ~ejectment for 30 acres in
Fairview twp.
The trouble between the residents of
the hill at the top of Centre avenue and
the Butler Borough School Board came
to focus yesterday in the presenta-
ton of a bill in equity against the
School Board in which Martin Wright.
Samuel and William Emrick, Joseph
White, Thomas V. Cochran. Davis
Smith and others are the compleinants.
On presentation of the bill to Court
temporary mandamus was granted on
the Board, City Supt. J. A. Gibson, and
Principal LOYAL F. Hall of the Spring
dale school, requiring them TO admit
the children 0: the forty or ufty
families living on the hill to the borough
schools as heretofore until the matter is
finally determined. In 1868 the Bene-
dict Kost and William S. Boyd farms
were taken into the borough school
district by legal proceedings. Since
then the farms have been assessed to
the Borough district and the children
have attended the Borough schools
The description in the annexation pro-
ceedings reads: Thence along the
Summit twp. line south 10 a point on
the farm of William Balph, thence west
to include Benedict Kost, William -.
Boyd and Edwards along the Ewing

The school board claims this description
does not include the district at the top
of Centre and Blown Aves. and the
court will have to settle it.
