Spring Grove School
Corporation Abandoned

The school corporation of Spring
Grove has been abandoned by it's
board of trustees and turned over to
the township trustee, it was learned
Wednesday -
"This makes three corporation
schools that have been abandoned in
the county during the last three
months" County superintendent Will
Jams said. "The Cambridge City
school corporation consolidated with
jackson township and Centerville turn
ed its corporation over to the trustee
of Center township"
Four years ago there were twenty.
two school corporations in the county
and they have dropped to 18. Three
years ago the Milton corporation was
turned over to the township.
"The reason for the abandonment
and consolidation of schools is be-
cause of the increased cost of main
tanning schools and the need of a larg-
er taxing unit" Williams. said.

Maintenance Mems Strike
Would Not Cripple Local
Pennsy Division, Belief

Except in case Of serious damage to
the right of way, through a wreck or
food, operation of railroad trains on
the Richmond division of the Pennsyi-
vania railroad would not be seriously
affected by projected national strike
of maintenance of way employees, &C.
cQrding to an official.
There are approximately 235 men
employed in this department of the
Richmond division, including track
men, carpenters and painters, but Off
cials said Wednesday that all OF these
were not members of the union, and
probably would not join in the bro.
therhood's strike.
"The maintenance department where
the right Of way is kept up to a rea-
sonable degree, would affect the op.
eration of the road the least of any"
division official said Wednesday.
THE Richmond division at present
is in good condition, and only a wreck
or flood which would tear up a track
or wash out bridge would necessi-
tate any great demand for men In this
department"
