FEW KICKS
ARE MADE
ON SCHOOL DISTRICTS -ENUMER-
ALTON IS NOW BEING
TAKEN

County Supt. Wilson has about fin
ished hearing complaints in regard
10 the formation Of school districts.
very few objections were made 70
the districts as they were laid of, and
none Of them were serious haid he.
It was Mr.. Wilson's idea that tae
districts should be large in order That
the largest possible amount Of tax
able property be included in them. In
some Of the districts there is very lit
tie land that is taxable and the rails
ing Of revenue for school purposes will
Be difficult. One district in the Cof-
felt neighborhood east Of town, will
contain ninety-six children Of school
age and two room school house will
probably be required.
In 81 Of the 81 districts the taking
Of the enumeration is now in progress
This is necessary in order that a dis
trict may get its share Of the state
school fund.
Mr.. Wilson win conduct the first
county teachers examination JAN 80
