THE SCHOOL MEETING
MONDAY NIGHT

About fifty patrons OF this schoo!
district living in and near town met
Monday evening in the Presbyterian
church to discuss the matter of di-
yiding the school district In the
past there has been sentiment in
the rural> portion of the district in
favor OF dividing the district, and
this meeting was held to learn the
sentiment OF the people of the town
and nearby territory.
1t seemed to be the belief of prac-
tically all those present that If the
rural portions desire to manage their
school matters, they should be allow
ed to do so, providing the district
can be divided so - to be fair to
the old and new districts The pro-
position to divide the district In such
way that Jerome would only have
a territory of four miles square would
undoubtedly be voted down, because
ii it were divided that way neither
the old or the now district could have
the benefit OF the railroad properly
In the northeastern part OF the dis
trict. and jerome would be left with
majority OF the children to edu-
cate, and only have less than one
third OF the taxable property IN her
district
However, 2 committee OF five WAS
appointed to meet with a committee g
from the north and south. and in
structed TO say that the people of the
town were willing TO divide the dia-
trictt. making 3 new district on the
north, about two and one-half miles
north OF the confer of town, as the
southern boundary. and a new dis
trict on the south. about two and
one-half miles south of the center Of
town as the northern boundary. leaV-
ing Jerome district with the remain
der of the present district
Under the present law. however
II seems that a district cannot be
divided while there is any bonded
Indebtedness. The last legislature
passed law TO remedy that defect.
but the governor vetoed 1t because
the enacting clause was omitted. So
1t seems we stand just rs We did In
this respect before the legislativ
session And 1t is not likely the
division can take place. but in case
It is possible. alS parties concerned
are willing it shall be done.

Houses in Jerome are never Va
cant more than twenty-four hour
and sometimes not that long. 1t is
estimated that at least fifty families
would be living here who are not
here now. if there were houses for
them to move into. Some people are
building temporary places of abode
To live in until they can erect more
commodious residences. 1t is safe
to say that building operations here
will be more active than in any pre-
vious year of the towns history.
