In the matter of the lapsing of
Common School district No. 16:
c. A. Montrose appeared in person
and presented a petition of remon-
STRANGE wherein representation was
made that several families were to
remain within the district for the
winter and therefore the children
would be deprived of the advantage
Of school.
1t is therefore the order of the
Board that Common School district
No. Is, the boundaries of which are
now defined in the records of the
Board shall continue and maintain
as a Common School district.
A petition having heretofore been
filed with the clerk of this Board,
asking that Joint School district No.
II, be organized into an independ-
ent school district, the Board took
into consideration the aforesaid pc
tition and finds:
That the aforesaid Joint School
District No. IL, the boundaries of
which are defined in the records of
the Board, contains taxable property
in the amount of $150,000 or over,
as shown by the last assessment roll.
That the aforesaid petition is
signed by one-fifth, or over of the
residents of said School District
qualified to vote at school elections
Therefore, it is the prayer of the
petitions that the Board of County
Commissioners make an order call
ing an election to determine whether
or not by vote such independent
school may establish.
Victor H. Walker and j. d. De-
Chambeau were present in person
and offered protest against the crea-
ton of an Independent school district
declaring that the additional levying
power for taxes would be burden
some and unbearable.
The Board, however, after duly
considering the matter on motion
duly put and carried, ordered that
the question of establishing an in
dependent school district out of that
territory now described as Joint
School District No. IL be submitted
to a vote of the qualified electors
of said district.
It is further ordered, that such
election shall be held at the school
house of Joint School District No. IL
On the 14th day of August, 1928,

hereby appointed the judges and

1t is the further order of the Board
that the clerk notify the Board of

the Board in behalf of Slick Bros.
stating that the personal property
for the year 1921 as rep
resented by Delinquency Certifi-
cate No. 1894, was made without his
ability to view the property, and a.
this time Slick Bros. appear and deny
that they had such property at the
time of assessment and therefore ask
that cancellation be made of said
