The people of this community
were sorry to learn on November
II, that the time limit allowed the
local school board to sell the school
bonds for the Frankford-DagsborC
school had lapsed, due to the failure
of the local school board to issue
and sell same, but, after some dis
cussion the State Board agreed to
extend the time providing the local
school board would request an eX-
tension. II, is understood that a pe-
! tition was presented protesting
against the site which was selected
by a majority of the building COM
mission, that vote being for the
site on the old State road and for
the site upon the du Pont highway,
one member not voting.
1t is hoped that this disagreement
will not prevent the erection of the
new school building as well as the
new stone road from DagsbOro
through aFrankford, which is prom
ised by the State Highway Depart
ment, provided the school is built
upon that road.
