PROBLEM is SETTLED
Special Elections On Building New
Schoolhouse Need Not Be Held
In Four Townships OF
District

1t will not be necessary to hold
special elections in Pike, Howard,
Brown and Monroe townships to vote
on the issuing of bonds for the CON
struction of a new school-house at
Amity, Prosecutor Charles l.. Ber-
mont was informed Monday noon in
a telephone conversation with the at
torney generals office at Columbus.
After the present structure was de-
stroyed the board of education of the
special school district in which it
was situated passed resolution for
special election and presented the
same to the county board of cleo
tions.
The question was Immediately
raised whether or not it would be
necessary to hold four different cleo
tions on the same proposition and at
the same time, but in each township
composing the district.
The board of elections called in
Prosecutor Bermont and he, in turn,
submitted the question to the attor-
ney general of Ohio. This was done
some time ago and it was not until
Monday that an opinion was given
out, so knotty was the problem.
The attorney general states that it
will be necessary for the school board
to pass a resolution for holding the
election in Amity. This information
has been given the school board by
Prosecutor Bermont.
Another angle TO the question, as
yet unsettled, is which township cleo
tion officials shall preside at the cleo
tion. It is probable that new set
will be designated or those of Pike
township retained.
The attorney generals opinion
clears up the situation considerably.
In one of the townships, there are not
as many voters as there would be
election officials.
