CONSOLIDATION
VOTED DOWN
Bloomington Taxpayers
Oppose Ne1U Plan.

The school consolidation hearing at
the Bloomington city hall last Friday
was largely attended, especially in
the afternoon. AS was expected, SEN
timent among the farmers was very
strongly against the proposition, yet
few or no arguments were offered a.
gainst consolidation itself 1t was no
surprise that the various town boards
voted unanimously against consolida-
ton; it was a surprise that three of
the seven members of the village
board members should vote against it,
making the vote to in favor. The
town boards represented the wishes
of their constituents; the village
board members who voted no did not.
There were addresses at the hearing
by various citizens of the vicinity and
the evidence in favor of consolidation
seemed Overwhelming, but the people
were in no mood to listen to such evil
dence. But while feeling ran rather
high, the discussion was all in good
part and cOurteOusly conducted with
one conspicuous exception that is apt
ly described and commented on in the
Dodge Center notes in this issue.
The advocates Of consolidation had
secured as their principal speaker,
Hon. George F. Comings Of Fan
Claire, lieutenant governor of Wis
consin Mr.. Comings is farmer him
self and despite his 73 years gave one
of the most inspiring talks in favor
Of better education the writer has
ever listened to. The next step to be
taken by the advocates Of consolida-
ton will be decided upon at the spec
ial school meeting to be held on the
evening of Feb. 20, notice of which is
printed in another column-Record
