COMMISSIONERS
ARE ELECTED


selected school commissioners and |
clerks on Saturday.
A number of voters of Sharpley |
School District. Brandywine hundred !
we're very much opposed today to the
action taken by the commissioners of
that district, who voted az the school
election Saturday to levy a tax for
the support of a second teacher. The
voters, it was pointed out, have not
yet had opportunity TO vote on the
question of constructing new
building to accommodate such an adj
dition to the teaching force. The
present structure, it is said. is not
nearly sufficient to Accommodate two
teachers.
Under the law, should the voters of
the district vote down The question CtI
larger building, the tax collected for
new teacher would not be used, but
would 20 to the State.
While many persons are not opposed
to the new building or a second teach
er, IL is pointed cut that the action
of the commissioners has met with
their disapproval because of the lack
cf foresight in settling he ,,stion of
bigger building before getting the
teacher to put in il.
Many residents of the district had
in view a plan whereby two or more
districts could be consolidated and a
wooden building erected centrally To-
: Gated to accommodate a sufficient num-
Der of children in one school This
: plan, however, was frustrated by the
action of the commissioners on Satur-
! day whom, they say, forced the issue.
Nelson l.. Talley was re elected COM
missioner. The board comprises John
W. Talley and Albert Haag.
In the Richardson Park-Ashley- Els
mere district George Swayne and H.
B. Kaufman we're elected for the
one year term, and Bruce W. Housel
{ was elected for the two-year term
William Tinsman was reelected col
/. lector of school taxes.
With the selection of Mr.. Tinsman
the outgoing officer was |. p. Forman,
who has held this Office for over so
years. The meeting unanimously vot-
ed that the incoming commissioners
prepare suitable resolutions, and af-
ter having them engraved, to present
: them to the retiring official.
It was decided at the meeting to
I, raise $500. instead of. $4,000, which
was the total for last year. for school
{ taxes for the coming year.
