TUITION IN LOCAL
SCHOOLS IS RAISED
Outside Students Have Been
Handled Here at a
Loss.

Increases in tuition for students from
outside the city who attend Webster
City schools have been announced by
the school board. High school tuition
will now be $12 instead of IS, as for
merly, and tuition in grade schools has
been raised from s. to IS.
The reason for this increase, as ex-
planned by school officials, is that large
numbers of outside students have been
accepted here at a loss. The idea is to
have these students at least pay the
costs of their instruction.

ROAD PROBLEM !
7 WATTS ] / BEARD
Visit of Highway Commits
sion Engineer Tuesday
may Settle Present
Difficulty.
CONTRACT IS LET
Compromise Agreement not
Satisfactory After Stakes
are In.

ActlOn Oh the ROAD survey Wnlcn pro
poses changes including new bridge
further to the east to replace the
present Millard's bridge, and more
direct line Of travel from the top OF
the hill east of the present structure
down to the Boone river, is at q stand,
still pending the arrival tomorrow
of w. +. Beard, engineer for the state
highway commission.
AS explained today, the Hne now
staked out by operatives OF the COM
mission is not new but Is the same
route approved recently by the board
Of supervisors. Change in the road 10.
cation is included in the contracts for
road improvement let this week by the
board.
1t was stated today that the pro-
posed route, as located, was approved
on paper by G. d. Carpenter, owner of
the land effected. Mr.. Carpenter. 1t
was said, was invited to sit In the
board meeting which considered the
proposed change.
Reach Compromise.
Satisfactory settlement was. agreed
upon, it was said, through cOmprO-
mise measure under which no damages
were to be paid. Under this agreement,
it is explained, Mr.. Carpenter was to
be paid for land lost through easing
the turn at the top Of the hill. As the
road, pursuing straight line across
lots and crossing the river about 1875
feet above Millard's bridge, seemed on
paper to make about an equal division
of land, leaving slice off the south
west corner Of the public park In
Briggs woods on the Carpenter side and
the northeast corner of the Carpenter
land on the park side, an agreement
was affected whereby these tracts
should be exchanged.
Stakes Tell Sad Story.
The present difficulty has arisen
over the division as made plain by the
stakes. Mr.. Carpenter, 1t is said, finds
that the road when actually located on
his land. is considerably further south
than it appeared to be on the blue
print. This seems unfair to him. The
new entrance to the park is also left
marooned some distance from the public
highway. This is distasteful to the
supervisors. t
1t was said that some action would
probably follow the visit of Mr.. Beard
tomorrow, Mt which time all parties con-
cerned will probably inspect the new
route.
