School Election.

The type made US say the annual
school election in Hays and all third
class cities was next Monday the fifth.
We were thinking of the city election.
It should have read next Friday the 9th
at 2 p. m. it being the second Friday in
April and that will be the date for the
annual meeting in such districts this
year. The, date of the annual meeting
in other school districts was left un-
changed.
The manner of making the levy at
district meetings was changed so that
the district meeting is to vote the
amount of money that is to be levied
for school purposes, and not the num-
Der of mills to be levied. The county
commissioners are to levy the number
Of mills that will produce the amount
voted at the district meeting. Another
school law requires that q fire drill
shall be practiced at least once each
month in school buildings having more
than one hundred pupils.

railroad is being published withfhe cleo
ton April q. No bonds to be issued
unless the road is completed from the
Trego county line through that town
ship to Stockton by Dec. 81, 1910. But
do the people of that township realize
that the proposition assures them of
no depot or side track if the bonds are
voted or road built? The Supreme
Court has decided that you cannot
torce a railroad to locate either unless
so specified in the petition. It should
say that q depot and side track shall be
maintained in the township so long as
the bonds run. In that case the Su-
preme Court say it is part of the
contract.
