* THREATEN SUI 70 GET SCHOOL CONVEYANCES

Petitioners in Washington Township Say: Demand Backed by Law.

Washington Township parents today’ threatened court action unless Township officials furnish transportation for their children to and

from high schools outside the town-

ship. i Washington Township advisory board members and Trustee Charles M. Dawson told a group representing 80 petitioners that there are no funds to furnish the transportation. Guy Sallee, of R. R. 70, Box 96, one of the petitioners, said a mandamus suit to force the officials to provide transportation might be brought. > Fight of Long Standing

The battle started several months ago when some parents charged officials with abandoning the ninth grade in the John Strange School. Because they did this, parents said, officials were required by State law to furnish pupils with transportation to other high schools. Officials | claimed they did not abandon the John Strange School and that to transport all the high school children to the schools they preferred would double transportation costs and be prohibitive. There are about 360 high school students in the township.

Piefer City Schools

_ They added that they might get together with parents “if they would send their children to one school,” fbut “that it seems all the children “want to go to the city schools, the ones farthest away.” - Mr. Dawson told a delegation Tuesday that “nothing can be done at present. There are no funds provided in either this year’s or next year’s budget.” He said a survey might be made later to see if parents could get together and send their children to one school and to see if the taxpayers would be willing to share the extra burden that such transportation would entail.
