SCHOOL LOCATION
STIRS COMMUNITY

Fort Sumner. n. NJ, May 29.-This
place has been more or less stirred up
over school matters ever since the dis
trict began to work for a new school
house. The trouble has been over the
location of the building. owing to the
fact that the developments under the
canal has been drawing the town far
to the eastward.
At the recent election some OF the
most prominent and Some OF the oldest
citizens were not allowed TO vote. 1t Is
claimed. among them the register OF
the land officer It Is alleged that
some who were denied the right to
vote offered their poll tax and were not
allowed to pay up and vote.
An opinion secured from the attor-
ney generals office is basis now for
declaring the election illegal and void.
The resignation of the minority mem
Der" OF the board has been followed
by the appointment Of receiver Sala-
Ear of the land office.
The town got its start when the
Santa Fe was building its big bridge
over the Pecos. an undertaking that
occupied two years. Just as that was
finished the land company started
town two miles below. But the land
came nearer than so rods 10 the rail-
road. As a result. the old bridge town
was moved down and ''squattedr on
this so rod strip. Since then there
has been more or less contention be-
tween the two sections. all OF which
will soon be ended by the granting OF
deeds to the squatters next month. thus
placing all lots upon the same footing
Placing OF the school house, II Is
charged was being forced" by
few as q last effort to turn the town
back toward the bridge. instead OF
permitting it to build toward the val
ley.
