case for the eliminated school dis

The patrons of the school In No. 16
claim that they do not want their
school rights controlled by a corpora

this corporation would have the power

it should be given large part of school
district No. 10, the land in that district
being owned by the proprietors of the
DaIrympIe farm. The people in that
school district maintain no school Of
any kind, vet they send their children

right to a part Of the land In District

tain any school and Casselton believes
that It should pay school tax to helI
