Minutes of special meeting of Feb. 3.
1912, read ana approved
The chairman then called for unfnish-
ed business.
AS there seemed to be quite a great
deal Of delay with reference to the build
ing of the school house on the Northside,
it was desired to place the matter Of the
cause of delay plainly before the peo-
pie of the district. The matter of the
bond issue had been placed in the hands
of Attorney w. G. Bonham Of Duluth,
who advised the borad that as it had
developed that there was an alleged
flaw in the title to the block on which
the board anticipated building the new
school, that neither the state nor the
bonding companies. would likely accept
the bonds of the district while there was
any question regarding the absolute title
being in the control of the district.
