The long-drswn out dispute in Hick-
DRY township, Mercer county, over the
expenditure of school funds for transport
ing pupils to and from the high school
will likely end in the courts. In their
annual report the auditors of the district
state that they refuse to approve the ex-
penditure of $500 paid out for the purpose
and surcharge the directors with that
amount. They state that they believe
hat the directors had no legal right to ex-
pend school funds for this purpose.
Mem ers ofthe board last year held that
they had a perfect right thus to see that
pupils in remote parts of the district
reached the high school, but at the time
protest was made by some of the tax
payers. The matter has assumed such
shape since the publication of the audit
ors' report that it will undoubtedly have
to be carried into court for settl ement.-
