Schedule -Registration At Junior High School Three Days In September e Chest Unit In JUDGE UPHOLDS BOARD DECISION ON AREA SCHOOL After receiving testimony m • • concerning the Burton's Bridge vlTV • MOOY school problem, Judge William * M. Carroll, presiding in Cir- Free Service cuit court Friday, upheld the decision of the county board of school trustees in entering his opinion. That opinion, to be followed by an order this week, holds the board's decision of late June, directing that Burton's Bridge District 22 be annexed to Prairie Grove school district. The latter school is located on Rt. 176 not far from the Burton's Bridge school. Judge Carroll pointed out that examination of the record revealed that District 22 failed to maintain a public school, as specified in the code, for two consecutive years, and in accordance with the quoted Section 5, the district became automatically dissolved. It was his further opinion that such dissolution resulted from operation of the law rather than from any action by the county board of trustees.
