ago it was decided to have one erect
ed.
The next question was a site, and
as several had suggested running a
kid wagon" to town, the matter was
put to vote Friday evening with the
intention of settling the matter for
keeps. A ticket was arranged thus:
For Site Against Site." For
Transporting" and Against Trans
porting The voters were permitted
one vote and the result of the count
was for site and for transporting.
Now. who knows where they are at?
Another vote will be required to
settle the question, and in the mean
time the pupils will have to be carried
to and from the city schools. pending
the erection of a new building which
will probably take at least three
months should one be built.
