STATEMENT
Of FACTS
In Reference to School Meeting in
District No. 2


| have been asked by representa-
tives of the local press to state briefly
the facts relevant to the controversy
in school district No. of the town of
Grand Rapids.
That district lies south of, and ad-
joining this city is three miles wide
north and south and about three and
one-half miles long
Within the last few years lands in
this district near the city limits have
been offered in acre lots and other
small tracts at low prices. They are
convenient to our mills and factories
and are desirable building property
and as a result many homes have in
recent years been built in the district
close to the city limits.
In the district are about 1913 chill
dren of school age who would be in or
below the 9Th grade in our public
schools. Of this number about 80 live
within one mile of the city limits and
about IS live within one-half mile of
the city limits.
Several residents of the district had
been sending their children to school
in the city and paying tuition because
their own school was so far away.
Twenty-Five children in the 9Th grade
and below have been sent to city
schools.
A few weeks ago the school house
in the district was burned. The re-
quired number of voters of the dis
trict asked the clerk to call a special
school meeting "on the 25th of No
vember, 1916 at 500 o'clock in the ev-
ening" to authorize the school board
to borrow 100000 to rebuild the
school house. The law requires that
notice of the time and place of special
school meetings to authorize the con-
tracing of a debt shall be given to
at least -fourths of the voters in
the school district. mo such notice
was ever served. True the clerk serv
ed copy of the request Of the voters
for special meeting, but this request
in no manner either states that a meet
ing had been called or would be held,
or indicates in any way where such
meeting,-if such were called,-would
be held. 1t is not notice at all and
is not signed by the clerk or any 9TH
Ell of the school board.
AS the school house was burned
many of the patrons of the school
thought it q good time TO get school
more convenient to the bulk of the
children that should attend this dis
trict school. Others desired better
school facilities and a more safe build
ing.
They finally learned where the spe-
cial school meeting was to be held and
attended it to learn from the board
what was proposed to be done and to
learn what prospect there was for
getting a school more convenient to
the bulk of the school population.
BY inquiries of the clerk at the
meeting it developed that the school

ing his death but giving no particu-
lars. Mr.. Ostruske Immediately left

Range East at suitable distance
from the two highways there located.
which place is hereby designated as
the site for the district school house
Of said district.
BE 1T FURTHER RESOLVED That
the school district board of said school
district No. 2 purchase or otherwise
procure and they are hereby instruct
ed to purchase or otherwise procure
suitable grounds mot less than one
acre free of highways for the location
of new school house on the tract a.
bove described at the place hereina-
bove described.
BE IT RESOLVED that there be
and there hereby is voted, levied and
appropriated 100000 to purchase and
pay for the school house site herein
above specified, said school board to
use so much of said 100000 as the
school board shall find necessary to
use for such purposes"
This will bring up for vote the mat
ter of the location of a school house
closer to the bulk of the small chill
dren of the district.
My own position on this is that
school house should be located in the
district much nearer the closely set
tied part of the district than the old
school house was situated. This pro-
baby will also bring up the question
whether the school district should
have one or two school houses. All of
these matters should be considered at
this meeting and all who are interested
either by reason Of having children Of
age to attend the district school, or
otherwise, should be present and vote
upon the question.
In an article in one of the papers
an insinuation was made that outsid-
ers were trying to run the district. |
was present at both of the special
meetings referred to in this article
and did not see any outsiders present.
There were several, myself included,
who had no children attending the
town school. They, however, were not
outsiders as they pay taxes and resid-
ed within the district and are legal
voters of the district.
So far as I am concerned | would
prefer to see two school houses built
in the district rather than one located
as the old school was located.
1t is evident, that at the present
single school building, or two school
buildings to accommodate the pupils
of the district in the 9Th grade and un
der would have to have at least three
rooms, and in the near future probably
four rooms. It seems to me the school
board should take this fact into con-
sderation and should build accord
ingly.
1t seems to me further that every
voter in the district should be present
at the meeting next Saturday night
and express his or her opinion on the
questions involved.
