the board shall take up the matter
Of esta blishing new schools.
The board proceeded with the can
vassinS of the returns and in reach
ing the returns from the Griner Farm
district 1t was found that there were
four votes sent in sealed that had
been challenged upon the ground that
they We're Illegal votes by reason of
the parties not being legally qualified
to vote in a special tax district cleo
ton by reason of not having paid
taxes on property within the district
Bearing on the matter, Maj. L. T.
1zlar, upon request Of Mr.. z. L. How
ell, came before the board to discuss
the legality of the woes, taking the
position that if property had been as
sessed that the party giving IL in for
assessment and gainst whom it was
assessed was in the contemplation of
the law a tax payer and entitled to
vote. The board ruled that the party
applying to vote must have already
paid taxes within the district on per
sonal or real property in order to
constitute him a qualified voter, and
therefore declined to count the votes
that were challenged and accepted the
returns as made by the managers.

elected trustees for the next ensuing
two years and commissions We're or
dered to be issued to them accord
