Will Lengthen
Rural School Term

Local educators this morning re-
ceived word to the effect that the
bill providing for a longer school
term in the rural districts has passed
the house by an almost unanimous
vote of the members of that body.
Under the terms of the new bill the
minimum school term will be eight
months instead of six months as at
the present time.
The measure also provides means
of raising the increased revenues
necessary for the heightened school
term. 1t increases the arbitrary
term fixed for the conduct OF each
rural school district from $500 a
year to $400 year.
This money is derived from three
sources: s1.S5 for each child from
the irreducible school fund of the
state, $S for each child from the
county school fund, and the entire
proceeds from a special tax levy,
which is not to exceed 5 mills, for
each district.

Bids for Medf0rd
Bonds Not Accepted

None of the bids for the $3.50, 900
refunding bonds which Medford is to
issue, and which were submitted to
the council of that city Monday even
ing, were considered satisfactory and
the council will readvertise, giving
a longer time for submission of bids
in order that eastern buyers may
have a chance to bid. The best bid
called for a commission which would
approach $S5, 900, and the city faith
ers of the neighboring city did not
consider that the saving of month
or two was worth any such an
amount to the property owners of the
city. An Injunction has been asked
from the circuit court restraining the
city from issuing refunding bonds.
