AUDITOR GIVES RELIEF TO RU.
RAJ SCHOOLS INVOLVED IN
FERGUSON CASE. -
FERGUSON DISTRICT
Is TO GET NO TAXES
Five Thousand Board Asked For TO
Maintain Consolidated School Can
Not Be Lsvied-court's Order Makes
Trouble Fer Timber Creek Rural
Teacher

County Auditor A. H. Welker is hav-
ing no end of trouble and extra work,
che Ferguson independent school dis
:rict is going to be without taxes next
year for its school. and one Timber
Greek township teacher has been hav-
ing trouble getting her pay, all because
the supreme court tied up the proposed
consolidation Of the Ferguson town and
the rural schools nearby. Last sum-
mer Judge Bradshaw held the consoli-
dation was legal
Those who brought suit to prevent it
appealed to the supreme court. It is
sued a stay order. which prevented the
school board from completing the con-
solidation. In that status the school
question Of the neighborhood still rests,
and may remain for long time.
leviss Taxes Anyway.
Eventually, and while the stay order
vas still in force, it came time to levy
the taxes for the county. The stay or
der ordered that no taxes be levied
or collected for the consolidated school
until the case was heard and deter
mined in the supreme court.
It became a question with the coun-
ty auditor to obey the order to the let
ter, and not levy any taxes for school
purposes. not only in the Ferguson in
dependent district but also in all the
other districts Of LeGrand, Greencastle,
Timber Creek and Jefferson townships
that we're to be consolidated with Fer
guson. or to give the rural independent
districts some relief by levying school
taxes for them.
The county auditor consulted County
Attorney DAILY. He advised levyins
taxes for the Independent rural
schools. They had, early in the year
before the consolidation was voted.
asked for the usual amounts of tax
money for their schools. These
amounts are now being levied.
Ferguson Gs!s None.
This action of the auditor will enable
these rural districts TO hold their sew
eral country schools next year, in the
event the supreme court does not get
to the case. Without this aid these
schools would have TO be provided for
temporarily from soma other source
than taxes.
District No. 8, of Jefferson town:Slip,
which is the town Of Ferguson, will not
get any tax aid for schools next year.
The town asked for s., 900 for. the con-
solidated 7schools.F.Jh levy 10 ex-
p,icitlys forbidden by the supreme
courts order. SO, it can not be made.
School Teacher Has Trouble.
One Of the rural districts taken into
the consolidation was Timber Creek
No. s. of which Miss Adelia Johnston
is teacher. Now it so happened that
the director of the independent dis
trict who employed her was elected to
a place on the board for the CONSOLE
dated district. AS such director he was
enjoined by the supreme court. Miss
Johnston taught a month this fall,
then very naturally she wanted her
pay. The director who had employed
