motion to adopt it's report was lost IN
parliamentary wrangle. Unin-

schools at 26O3. Last year at this

SET BY SUPREME COURT

December Is has been set as the
date by the state supreme court for
hearing on the appeal from Judge
Dancers adverse decision on mo-
ton for dismissal in the matter of
the condemnation proceedings brought
by the school board of the indepen-
dent district of Virginia against
eighty acres of state land near Olcott
park to be used as a school expert
mental farm. The condemnation was
made by the school board but was
fought by the state on the ground
that a school board has no right to
condemn state lands for any purpose.
Assistant Attorney General Hilton
moved for a dismissal of the condem-
nation proceedings against the state
and Judge Dancer denied the motion.
The appeal is from his order. R. c.
Pickering will represent the school
district before the supreme court.
