Question School District Tax
The legality of a vote passed by
the Stafford School District voters
setting the tax rate of the district
at six mills is questioned and Alfred
j. Tails, who has for the past 40
years taken an active interest in
school affairs in that section. has
intimated that some OF the taxpay-
ers have signfied their intention of
refusing to pay the tax when bills
are received. The basis OF the con-
tention that the vote was illegal is
that the five-day notice required for
all school meetings was not pub
lished, nor was a notice of the call
placed on the school building.
Just what action will be taken is
indefinite at the present time, al
though it is probable that a special
meeting will be called and the vote
of the annual meeting rescinded.
The matters discussed at the previ-
Gus meeting will also be brought
before the voters, according to Mr..
Tails,
The Stafford School District has
for the past year We'd with the
Fighting" Twelfth District on Fall
Mountain in the matter Of fractional
disputes. Mr.. Tails bitterly opposed
the renting of the schoolhouse for
public dances but was defeated when
the matter was voted on at a special
meeting held early in the winter.
