! More than two hundred students
are expected to enroll in the local
high school at the opening, Sept
ember II. Should the levy fail to
materialize for the addition to the
high school. as there is some oppo-
s1tion to this levy by those whose
| chief interests are outside the dis
1 trict, half of the student body will
have to receive Instructions in the
morning and the other half in the
afternoon. A petition against the
new building movement has been
sent to the state tax commission er.
but it is likely that little attention
will be paid to the document be-
cause of the lack of weight the pc
I t1tioners carry.
Unfair Taxation Claimed
| Many local taxpayers are incens-
ed over the distribu ton. Of proper.
! ty for assessment in this district.
Many claim that valuation OF
more than seven millions on real
estate is out of proportion to the
three millions assessed to public
utility corporations when it is con
| sidered that some OF the largest
coal mines in the state are located
in this district. Personal property
has increased but slightly, it is
said in the past ten years, although
4 household and kitchen furniture has
nearly doubled in cost price.
