The Box Elder creek, SEPARATING the
old town from the main city Of plen-
tywood flooded its hanks last Satur-
day afternoon as result of the wat.
er caused by the melting snow-&he
aftermath Of the warm day, and fol-
a while threatened TO carry away the
bridge. Action was taken at once by
the city authorities to relieve the
pressure Of water and ice on the
bridge, and Bob Wheeler was put te
work dynamiting away the dirt a,
the. approaches and making q chan.
mel for the escape Of the water. Work
was kept up all the afternoon until
midnight when q sufficient runway
was completed to allow the escape OF
sufficient water TO protect the bridge
AS the water escaped it flooded the
creek below and at midnight the An.
telope road at the residence of NJ L

was under water until morning, stop
ping traffic on the road for several

homes in the old town. A crowd of
townspeople watched the work OF

stored to the old town Sunday morn

There was a hearing, pursuant to
petition for division of school
district Number Sd, which is large
district lying south of Comertown and
Dooley, before Supt. Of Schools VIM.
Moe, Tuesday, April 4th, at o'clock,
o. NJ, praying for division of that
district. A number Of citizens of the
district, who were interested pro and
con were present to sustain their side
of the argument. The case came OF.
for hearing as set but the jurisdic-
ton of Supt. Moe to act was chal-
lenged by Franc Murray who was the
spokesman for the opposition to the
division, on account of the INSULT
cheney Of the petition. It was set
out by Murray that while the petit
ton upon which the hearing was pre-
dicated showed the percentage of tax
PAYERS of the district as required by
law, it did not show the percentage
of legal electors of the district as re-
CURED by law. The Superintendent
sustained the motion for a dismissal
on the technicality, although the
point did not go to the merits of the
proposed division, and a new petition
will be filed with the Superintendent
of Schools which will meet the re-
ouirements of the law, and a new
hearing will be held at some future
date. This is the second or. third
time that this district has tried to
divide without success and it is pre-
dicted that the whole matter will
probably end with suit in the dis
trict court, before the controversy is
completed.
