Want IMPROVED School

At a recent meeting Of the Mt. Cuba
Game Protective Association after
discussing changes in the game laws
the question of consolidation of the
Green and Diamond school districts
and the erection of a new graded
school near Mt Cuba to replace them
was considered. 1t was then decided
to hold a special election last night
to vote on the question.
The election was not held last
night, however, because for the reason
that a number Of the members of the
association found that the law requir-
ing election every two years still held
good At that time the sentiment for
consolidation was unanimous.
A bill will be introduced in the Leg
islature in the near future to provide
for a bond issue to build the school,
the State to bear one-third of the
cost. II had been ascertained that it
would be impossible to bond the tax
payers of the new school without per-
mission from the State. The plan is
to erect a school house to cost $4,000
There would be two rooms i'm the
building. II had been suggested that
the money could be raised by public
subscription but this was not found
to Se-feasible.
