We, your committee appointed at the
January meeting to go to Red Land for
the purpose of selecting suitable location
for the new Red Land Graded School, beg
leave to say that on January 18th we met
at Red Land and carefully looked over the
three sites which had been suggested by
the local citizens. After carefully consid-

expressing our preference, secret ballot
was cast, which resulted unanimously in
favor of the present Red Land site.
