LOCAL SCHOOL PATRONS MEET


| Inc sentiment meeting c0lleO
for Monday evening at the city hall
by the committee appointed by State
Senator w. A. Keddie to determine
the likes or dislikes of the taxpay-
ers of Fallon school district relative
to the proposed extra bond issue for
local school building purposes, was
attended by about 40 local residents.
The investigating committee appoint
ed by Senator Keddie is composed
of the following: Il. L. Douglass,
d. Z. Williams and DR.. G. M. Card
ner. Mr. Douglass acted as chair
man of Monday evenings meeting,
the concensus of opinion of which
seemed to be that whatever i'm
provements are needed for the local
schools should be covered by a mod
est bond issue to be authorized by
the present session of the state legis-
lature.
| After a few minutes of discussion
motion was made that the COM
mittee already mentioned be con-
tinued to act on behalf of the school
patrons and to investigate thorough
ly the needs of the districts two
schoolhouses, prepare estimates of
the cost thereof and submit the
delegation at Carson City. This is
splendid committee and was wise-
| ly selected by Senator Keddie. Each
and every member is thoroughly ac-
quainted with the local school needs
and there is no doubt but that their
| recommendations will cover fully all
existing and probable needs of the
local schools. Within a few days
hoir dot xri11 0n
ward to Senator Keddie, who will
act in conformity Herewith. The
bill carrying authority for the issu-
ance of $4,000 of bonds by the local
school district has already passed the
assembly. The action taken on the
bill in the senate by Senator Ked-
die shows keen desire on his part
to act only in consonance with pub
lie opinion and his submission of the
question to the local people was a
highly commendable act.
