Il an, in receipt of.your letter 10
which you say The school levy IN

was debated. You. ilso state that
most OF the people hold to the .opin.
ion that In order. 10 have schools
next year It will be necessary to
have a petition signed by 40 per

Legislature at the next session, and
that the Legislature will then pass
an enabling act so that a special
election |will be held.
4 81 beg to advise you that this ia
not necessary. The Legisla tlre wiz.
pass the need sary act without any
petition. Soma Of the voters have
gotten confused about. the 40 per
cent nthis way. The law, provides
that in order to secure another
vote on the submission OF the levy,
after It has been. adopted at the
1922 election. It Is necessary to
submit a petition containing no
names Of 40 per cent ;ot the legal
voters OF the district as appears
upon the last registration OF vot,
ers. So 1t isHvery apparent that
this Is the cause OF the confusion
The legislature. Of course, may
act without any petition"
