SCHOOL DISTRICT FIGHT
BObS UP IN new FORM
GOss Rejects Proposal and Petition
ers Appeal to County Commits
siOners.

The county commissioners will
hold a hearing soon on the appeal Of
residents of the Plum Station and
Bush Prairie districts from the re-
fusal of County Superintendent o. c.
Goss to create a new district out Of
portions of four present districts for
the Offut Lake school. This is an
other development of the attempt
made last summer, which Superin-
tendent Goss approved but the old
board of county commissioners over
ruled.
The petition was denied by Super
intendent Goss on the ground that
the proposed new district would not
serve any good purpose, but that on
the other hand would compel a num-
Der of children to 90 much further to
school than at present. The petition
proposed the creation of a new dis
trict out of part Of the Plum Sta
ton, a quarter section of the Bush
Prairie and three sections of the
Spurgeon Creek districts.
