TO BRING A TEST SUIT.

It is reported that Trustee Walter Harrington, of Union township, who was instructed to consult a Rensselaer lawyer to ascertain if that township could borrow sufficient funds to continue the schools in that township, has secured the services of Attorney G. A. Williams. The question submitted to Attorney Williams by Mr. Harrington was, “Can the people of that township mandate me to borrow money in order to continue the schools ? ’ 9 From this it appears that the trustee is against borrowing the money and not in favor of a term of school sufficient in length to allow the pupils to complete the work they should accomplish this year. The people, who are in favor of a term of sufficient length, have been to the expense of securing a lawyer, and it is reported that a friendly suit will be brought and the matter will be submitted to Judge Charles W. Hanley.
