shorey but at the last meeting of the
school district 1t was voted by those
present to change the name to In

ed. Residents who voted for this
change say that the change was legal

impossible to say just what Is the legal
name for the suburb. 1T is referred
to by some people as Shorey and by
some as Indianola.
