iNYA School
Lost Through
New Decision
RESTRAINING ORDER
THREAT, CARETAKER
QUESTION RAISED

The Redwood county board,
after another stormy session
Wednesday morning and al
ternoon, reversed its position
and voted against closing the
county home, by that decision
also vetoing plans to estab-
lish a National Youth admin
istration school here, with an
enrolment of 60 girls.
The vote was three to one,
Ed Wells of the Redwood
Falls district casting the
single vote for the school. j.
P. Kragh who stood alone
against the project when it was
tentatively approved two weeks
ago was joined in defeating it
yesterday by Philip Raveling and
Herman Beckman.
Several factors apparently con-
tributed to the new decision. A
majority of the 80 or 40 taxpayers
present at the meeting were an
tagonistic to the change. Another
determining factor was that the
proposition offered William Johns,
home superintendent, by NYA of
ficials was not satisfactory to him.
Also discussed among board men,
bers after most of the taxpayers
had left the meeting was the
threat of a district court restrain
ing order which would have in
terfered temporarily with moving
inmates of the county home and
leasing the property. The order
was never served but was obtain
ed, apparently as a final resort,
