Georgetown residents put themselves
on record Saturday afternoon as being
opposed to the bonding of the consolida-
ted school districts of this section of the
county for the construction of $50, 600
school building in addition to the present
one now in use. At the last session Of
the Legislature an act authorizing this
town and the districts connected with it,
comprising the FIVE school districts, to
bond in the sum of $40, 900 was passed,
but at the same time the act carried with
it a referendum vote which was procured
only by a remonst >ance which was made
by a large number of voters. The cleo
ton Saturday afternoon was one of the
most spirited that has taken place here
for many years, and ont of vote of 208
cast, only twenty four were in favor of
the bonding for the erection of an addi-
tional school building. DR.. G. Frank

Green were elected commissioners for
three years to take the places of Frank
