called upon to hear three motions
in a Madison County Common
Pleas Court Friday. He is Judge
Charles r. Kirk, Common Pleas
Judge of Clinton County. He will
hear the motions in the case of
Wade VS. West involving a right of
way question in an area at West

a right of way through an alleged
lane; on vacating a temporary re-
straining order granted earlier to
maintain the disputed property as
it originally stood before the trial;
and motion by the defendants to
make the West Jefferson Post of
the American Legion a party to
the case.
According to previous hearings,
Wade purchased property at the

the disputed lane, which the de-
fendents said was not public
passway. 1t was also pointed out
that the plaintiff has been using
another entrance to his property,
and a potential entrance is avail
able near the questioned lane"
The properties involved are east
of West jefferson on and near
Route 90. The route now being US
ed is on Galloway road, and if was
pointed out that the potential en-
trance could be built across the
property from which the Wade
property was sold.
1t was also pointed out that the
non resident Judge was requested i
by counsel for the plaintiff, Wade.

aries for the school bus route of
the London City Schools. At that
time the school enrolment was 892

six percent. Consequently, a re-
vision of bus routes has been made
to comply with the shifting of the
school population as well as the
extension of the corporation linn
its.

of education shall transport an
elementary child to school provid-
ed the child lives two miles or
more from the school building and
4 board of education may provide
transportation for resident high
school pupils to the high school to
which they are assigned.
The State Department of Educa-
ton has recognized the transport
ing of pupils to school provided
the child lives one mile or more
from the school. Therefore, the
London Board of Education has as
sumed this policy will be contin-
ued by the state board of educa-
ton and have made bus route revi-
sions accordingly, which are listed
as follows, effective September 3,
1857.
New bus route boundaries take
the place of the old boundary line
