When this is granted a map of the

for filing with the Putnam county
board. Opponents of the merger will
have 30 days to file remonsuance
petition if they wish to do SO.
If no formal opposition has devel-

will be completed and Cairo absorb

district. Opponents of the merger
would need a majority of the voters
in the Cairo school district to block
the union between the two schools.
School officials said the financially
beleaguered Cairo district could not
stand on its own much longer. They
said it would have been necessary
to have tax increases each OF the
next two years. The state policy OF
discouraging smaller schools by
cutting their funds had forced Cairo
to the wall.
