Plantywood, Montana,
: February 2, 1881.
( Honorable Board of County Com
, PIentywood. Sheridan County, Mont.
: On January 80, 1881. a hearing
2 was held in the court room to de-
! eide whether or not a new school
district should be created with the
; following described boundaries:
< Beginning at the NE corner OF
/, the SWH NEH of Section 26, TWP.
! IS, r. 50; thence west on the forty
] line to the NV corner of the SWA
K NWH Of Section %; thence south
a to the NV corner of Sec. 4, Twp.
34, r. "a; thence west to the NV
x corner of Sec. 5; thence South to
d the SW corner of Sec. II; thence
east to the Sc corner of Sec. Ia;
II thence north to the NE corner of the
u SEA sen of Sec. 26, TWP. 35, r. 81;
L thence west to the NV corner of
II to the NE corner of the SWH NEA
4 of Sec. 26, the point of beginning.
e After hearing the petition for a
f new school district to be created
from parts of existing district No.
10, No. 20 and No. 80. I have de-
: MED the petition. MY first consider
q alton is for the schools of this coun-
e ty.
The children within the proposed
district are today receiving and ahve
! the assurance of receiving as good
s if not better educational advantages
"a than the new district could provide
y Attempts to decrease taxes have
re my approval However, the propos-
s. ed district with its assessed valua-
> ton of approximately s126,42 would
need a high levy in order to main
le tain an efficient school. In fact
re taxes of parts of the new district
Ts would probably be higher than they
II are at the present time.
OI Furthermore, the taxes in the
L three districts concerned would tend
/ to be higher.
- In creating a new district these
10 old district which would be affected
re must be considered. In this case
w the benefits resulting from the divi
4 sion would not warrant the weaken
ing of district No. 10 and No. 20 by
al decreasing their valuation.
to Very truly yours,
MARJORIE MARKUSON,
County Superintendent
