ship, for choosing township Of.
ticers, was held In February 1850.
At that election SIX school direc-
tors were elected. They were
John Foote and DAVID 9. Ross for
3 years, Henry Keith and Henry
Matthias for years and Allen
Willett and George Lockard for
one year.
The newly elected board or
ganized on April 18th following
their election, John Foote was
made president of the board,
Henry Matthias secretary and
Allen Wlllet treasurer.
After the organization had been
effected Mr.. Matthias offered a
resolution to open two more
schools in the distrlct-thus
making four. Mr.. Ross voted
against the resolution and MIR.
Wlllett did not vote. At that
meeting it was decided to build
two new frame school houses,
one at Camp Spring on land OF
David Stevens near New Grena-
da, and one on land of George
Whitehill near M. E. church.
Camp Spring is that which now
supplies Mr.. DeForest Keith's
family with water. At same
meeting atax was levied to raise
funds to pay for erection of new
school houses and expense Of
carrying on four schools, no
body's tax to be less than seventy
FIVE cents.
The contract for building the
new school houses was awarded
to VIM. w. Edwards, he to re.
celve $50 for building that al
Camp Spring, and 500 for the
one at M. e. church. Mr.. Ed
wards failed to fulfill his bar
gain before October 1850 wher
the board annulled his contract
The election for school direc-
tors In February 1851 resulted IN
the election of James NJ. Sunk
ard and a tie vote for John Wish
art and VIM. W. Edwards. The
school directors cut the tie by
electlng John Wishart. This
board was organized April 4, 1851
John Foote continuing as presi
dent and John Wlshart becoming
secretary.
Soon after their organization
the board relet the contracts foi
