DEERFIELDâ€"SHIELDS FIGHTING L. F. HIGH Thursday, October of Lake Forest, he pointed out and added that when the petition thereâ€" for was circulated in Lake Forest last spring it was signed by 99 per cent of the residents approached and the plan has the support of all Lake Forâ€" est organizations, including the Womâ€" an‘s club, the American Legion post, Kiwanis club, Y. W. C. A., churches, schools, merchants, and practically every Lake Forest property owner and citizen. â€"â€"It is also explained by supporters of the Lake Forést project that the per capita cost for students from that city attending Deerfieldâ€"Shields was about $1,100. ~For the present year, through arrangement with the Deerâ€" fieldâ€"Shields board, Lake Forest disâ€" trict is to pay $500 per student, which is much more than the tuition paid by any other outside student attending that school, Mr. Held states. . Defendants named in the suit are Frank W. Reid, Frederick Held, Richâ€" ard Bentley, George Sleight, and Henry Strenger, members of the Lake Forest board. . The bill filed by Richard F. Loche, attorney for the Deerfieldâ€"Shields board of education, alleges that the community high school district was organized under an unconstitutional state law. In clare high that legal legal powers. It is the contention of the Deerâ€" fieldâ€"Shields board that, since Lake Forest has. extended from Shields township into Decrfield township, it will take too much territory if it secedes, and will throw too great a taxation burden on the rest of the district. The Lake Forest board of education does not desire to start building, it is said, until the validity of the law is established. If the law is declared unconstituâ€" tional the legislature will be asked to enact an enabling law, Lake Forest advocates of the plan predict.
