CASSELTON GETS
A REHEARING
COMMISSIONERS ADJOURN ON Al
DEADLOCK BUT LATER DECIDE
TO GIVE cAssELToN A REHEAR-
ING-oTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS
ARE WORKED OVER.

The question Of allowing the Cassel-
ton school board representatives a re-
hearing on the question of the change
of school district boundaries took up all
the time of the county commissioners
yesterday afternoon and when the
commissioners with Superintendent
Riley adjourned the body was in
deadlock regarding the matter.
After the fight put up by the farm
ers in the vicinity of Casselton whose
land had been drawn into the Cassel-
ton district by the change of the COM
missioners, the board of arbitrators
was In a quandry as to what to do
with the situation. Finally the motion
was made to give the city of Cassel-
ton school authorities another hearing
on the matter and the vote was called
with a tie resulting.
superintendent Riley, Commission
ers Martin and Kelley voted to give
Casselton city a rehearing and Com
missioners Landbloom, Rusch and
Heath voted against the question
With a tie vote the body discussed
the proposition of allowing Mr.. Kelley
to vote twice, once as an individual on
the board and the second time as the
chairman of the body. However no
authority could be found to allow such
a procedure and the matter rested
with a tie vote until adjournment.
When the commissioners met again
this morning they concluded that 1t
would be no more than fair to allow
Casselton to be heard and the hearing
was set for this afternoon. From eight
to ten Of the most prominent and In
fiuential citizens of Casselton were in
this afternoon and appeared before the
board, presenting their side of the case.
The farmers in that vicinity were
also at the meeting of the board but
made no formal plea of their case. More
farmers arrived this afternoon after
having been reached by long distance
telephone and were on the ground to
hear the side of the case of the Cas-
selton school officials.
This morning the commissioners re-
scinded their decision regarding school
district line changes in Nos. Ito, los
and 103. Changes will be made in
these districts however, but not as
previously decided upon by the COM
missioners. The changes that are now
proposed will be made to the internal
boundaries in closer conformity with
the wishes of the people living in those
districts.
