Mr.. James Gates,
Glen Haven, Wis.
Dear Mr.. Gates:
Yours of Dec 18th at hand concern
ing consolidation. Keep out of it as
long as you can. 1t is detriment and
nuisance to the community and neigh
borhood, both financially and in eff
ficienCy Children at the farther end
of the route have. to start for the busS
at o'clock in the morning and get
home at in the evening. Pretty long
lay for little especially in cold
days, as we have here in Minnesota
This is only one of the many draw
backs, besides the crowded condition
in the buss, without anyone to keep
order except tie driver, whose atten-
ton is mostly to his team and passing
autos Lot of things are going on
which hadn't ought to. | just men
ton this as some of the minor draw
backs One Of our neighbors was
ready to walk away from his place on
account of the high taxes. But for the
grace of the banker he got another
year to try his luck.
One of the strongest instigators to
promote and push to get the consoli-
dation through can't buy shoes for his
children, so he can send them, and the
buss is going right by his door Like
ly taxes will drive him out in year
or so.
Beside bad feeling among neighbors,
nine out of ten now wish they could
have the little old school house back
But too late to repent now
A neighboring district was also
talking consolidation. After they
found out our condition they are ST.
lent on the subject
As to taXes-am sending tax re
ceipt for taxes paid before and after
consolidation, They speak for them
selves, Taxes are paid in two Install
fnents. Receipts are for one-half of
taxes. Now if you want to be ten
nant on your own farm get coas9lida-
ton. If you want to be boss on your
own farm, forget your small troubles
and spend a few hundred dollars and
fix your little old schco house, then
you will be most independent and
and contented.
AS the suggestion of friend
Yours truly,
l. J. JOHNSON.
