H. G. Hodson clerk of consolidated
district No. 6 Of Nicollet and Blue
Earth counties, received from w. n.
Holz. auditor Of Nicollet county, the
auditors certified copy Of the order
made by the board of county COM
misioners of Nicolet on the 18th day
of July, 1921, granting the petitions
praying for the annexing of common
school district No. SO Of Blue Earth
county to consolidated school district
No. 6, Nicollet and Blue Earth coun-
ties. This means a larger and better
school or district No. 6. The fourth
class room will be furnished, a fourth
teacher added to the faculty and ninth
grade work will be put in the school
this fall. This can be done with very
little added expense, as the school Will
now have q higher classification and
more state aid will be obtained. With
the support Of the people in the now
enlarged district the school can be
made to rank second to none in the
state At a meeting of the school
board Of district No. 6 on August 8,
bus drivers bids were received for
the three old routes. Glen e. Allen
secured Route at $40 per month; R.
N. Jones Route for $500 for the term
of nine months; !. s. Johnson Route 3.
for $500 for the term of nine months.
This shows that wages are coming
down. Last year the driver on Route
l received 500 per month; Route z,
$50 per month and Route 3, $40 per
month. This makes a decrease of S465
on the three routes for the year.
