County Superintendent Lamson Has Milroy Matter Under Advisemet.

County Superintendent Lafhson, to whom was presented a petition Monday for the removal of the Banner school house in Milroy township, and before whom a hearing was held, has been away since Tuesday, having attended a meeting of the county superintendents of the 10th, 12th and 13„th districts held at Warsaw. He has not had an opportunity to give the matter much consideration and will hold it under advisement for a few more days. It is charged by those who opposed the petition for removal that one of the signers had been paid for signing it. The man thus charged was James Nixon. He made a signed statement to Mr. Lamson that he was not influenced by any consideration whatever, but signed the petition with a full conviction that the removal was for the best interest of the school. As previously stated the petition has a bare majority of one. It is not improbable that if all the signatures prove all right and the majority proves to be a fact that the prayer of the petitioners will be answered affirmatively.
