Proposal to

Falls Short
Districts 1 urn Down
School Merger Plan
in Page Balloting

effort put to the voters in the
history of Holt county was de
feated Tuesday at the (Kills in
the town hall in Page,
Seven districts were affected
by the proposed merger. The
election, conducted under the
school reorganization laws re
cently enacted by the Nebraska
legislature, had throe phases.
Election unit 1: Electors in
school district 241 (a portion of
which is closer to Inman than to>
Page) voted 4-2 against the mer
ger. This automatically dis
qualified 241 from becoming a
part of district 2 (Page).

voting as a unit) rejected the
proposal to merge into the Page

Election unit 3: Electors in dis
tricts (Page) voted 106 - 10 in
favor of accepting the proposed
merger.
However, the results in elec
tion unit 3 have no effect be
cause the other units turned
thumbs down and no merger
is imminent.
Had the voting in the first or
second units been 55 percent o«
more favorable to the merger,
the county school reorganization
committee could have consum
mated at least part of the pro
posal.
