A petition seeking to change

Saturday.
The Aspermont and Peacock
school boards voted unanimously
for the consolidation of the two
districts at a meeting Julv 12.
Ii Aspermont votes indepen-
dent., a combined board from the
two districts plan to petition the
county school board to decide

Swenson Water
Tests to Start
Friday, July 27
The testing for water for the
townsite and surrounding area
of Swenson will begin this Fri-
day. The first tests will be made
on the Bay Hallum farm. The
engineer left the impression
that several other tests might be
made while the drilling rig is
in the area.
Any persons who desire more
information about this water
project are urged to contact, the
engineer, Mr. Biggs, while he
is on location. For appointment
or further information, contact
Glen Hoy, Ivan Yarbo rough,
Lanis McMeans. or Doyle
Combs. The project is complete-
ly depenent on the full coopera-
tion of the whole community.
People on the fringe area of
Swenson can obtain water also
if there is enough interest. How- j
ever, the whole project depends
to a great extent on how many
actual users and meters that can
be signed up for the engineer ;
to base his report. If you are I
interested at ill. please make ii j
a point to contact Mr. Biggs
while he i here this Wednes-
day.

ceivc such payments for a period
of more than ten (10) years.

payments shall not exceed the
difference between the sum of
the Foundation Program Pay-
ments which would have been
paid, to the several districts in-
cluded in the newly organized
district had there been no con-
solidation, and the amount of
Foundation Program Assistance

which have been consolidated, or
shall be applied to the cost of
constructing new buildings re-
quired by the reorganized dis-
