targ, Said NAACr lawyers had
frained and submitted tire peti-
tioin.
The esNAACP charged the School
Board and the county's school
superintendent with pursuing "the
policy, practice, custom and usage
of denying, on account of race or
color, petitioners and other Negro
children educational opportunities,
advantages and facilities equal to
those afforded white children"
William Gregory Rennolds, the
Essex school superintendent, an
swered. yesterday for the school
officials.
Pay to Be Equalized.
He said that an appropriation
has been approved, effective In

white and Negro teachers salaries
In the county. He also said that
the School Board has requested a
100000 bond issue for school
equalization purposes. The bond
issue goes to the Essex Board of
Supervisors tomorrow for action.
The Essex petition brings to five
the counties in which the NAACP

Rennolds. has % white and %
Negro teachers.
10 Negro Schools.
The county has 10 Negro schools,
one a high school at Tappahan-
mock and the others one and two
room elementary schools scat
tered throughout the area. Mr..

is provided to the high school and
to several of the elementary
schools. All of the Negro schools
are Of frame construction and
have outside toilets, he said.
The county has only three
white schools, the largest one is a
high school at Tappahannock.
Two elementary schools are To-
Gated In opposite ends of the
county. Two of the white schools
have inside toilets. Mr.. Reynolds
said. :
The superintendent said the
libraries in the white and negro
schools are approximately the
same"
Mr., Reynolds said any decision
on how the proposed bond issue
would be spent will have to await
. survey by the State Beard of
Education.
Loan TO Gloucester Sought.
Meanwhile residents of Glouces-
ter County awaited Gov. Tuck's
reaction to a suggestion BY Dele
gate Robert Whitehead of Nelson
County.
Mr.. Whitehead has suggested
that the State help Gloucester out
Of its pressing school difficulties
by making a loan available to the
county through the State literary
fund, and that this be made pos
sible by the Governors authoriz-
ing the State Board of Education
to incur deficit sufficient to
make the necessary money avail
able to the depleted fund.
= In letter to Gov. Tuck, the
Nelson Delegate declared that the
money was in the treasury.
THE only thing needed is ap-
proval Of its USE" he said.
Mr.. Whitehead cited as a prece-
dent for use Of the Governor s
