Gives Greoter Area
To H. S. Districts

At a meeting of school men in
Libby last Friday, Lincoln county
was divided into three school dis
tricts for bonding purposes. This
action was taken under new law
enacted by the last legislature. Such
districts are created only for bond
ing purposes and can be used for
no other purpose Present at the
meeting were the trustees of the
Libby, Troy and Lincoln county high
schools, County Superintendent of
Schools Staudacher and County At
torney Long.
Under the arrangement perfected
Friday, the Libby high school dis
trict will hereafter consist of dis
tricts 6, 7, 4, IL and %. This area
will have taxable valuation
of $2,110,467 .
The Troy high school district will
be composed of districts |, 2, 3, Is,

The division of the county into
the three districts followed the rec
ommendation submitted by com
mittee that was appointed by thu
county superintendent. This com
mittee was composed of representa-
tives from each of the three forme
high school districts. All actor
