Who's who In the consolidation OF
south Liberty and the northern MI
nerva rural school districts in the
vicinity of st. Anthony and Clemens is
very likely to become a disturbing
school question to one or perhaps both
of the towns and the rural districts
they have consolidated.
Both towns have consolidated ad

tive difficulty. lies in that the territory
having consolidated part5of two rural
districts thatsWere previously taken in
by the Clenfehs consolidation.
st. AnttAy Prepares e Build.
St. AnthaSHnmindtul OF any pros
pective trouble. has taken steps to
build school house to accommodate
the children of the consolidated dis
tricts. An election, to vote on a bond
issue Of not to exceed 10000. has been
called by the board to be held at the
Odd Fellows hall in st. Anthony from
I to s in the afternoon of Feb. p. Pre-
liminary arrangements have been made
to market the bonds If the election
carries, and the board is planning to
erect a modern building adequate for
the needs Of the district.
One in Court; ouher consoiidatss.
While the Clemens consolidation was
being untangled by the courts. the st.
Anthony people called an election and
took in with the Independent district
of the town, district No. 10. of Loberty,
part of No. and all Of No. ). Minerva,
and part of No. 2. Minerva.
The chances for complication arise In
that the west one third of district No.
s of Liberty. and theirest Of that dis
'trict. had already been consolidated
with Clemens. So also had the west
two-thirds Of No. 2, Minerva. All Of No.
2 was taken in py Clemons&in the con-
solidation. Aftar1the ST. fAnthony cleo
ton was held the. state supreme court
held that Clepr6as HAD legallyEc

One peculiar. phase Of the situation is
that B. S. Hines, who hass been elected
president of the board of the ST. An
thony consolidated district. lives In
that part Of district sNo. -, Liberty.
which was first consolidated by Glenn
ons and later by St. Anthony. This
would indicate that the sentiment in
