Public Pulse
To Whom It May Concern
As members of the Long Pine
school board we are considering
the installation of a fire alarm
system which is compulsory by the
state. This installation is to he com
pleted by the fall term.
The state of Nebraska, lieing the
only state making this a law for
such a system by forcing the school
boards over the state to spend
some eight million dollars of tax
payers money, is making a burden
on all school districts.
No locally contracted installation
has been approved to date by the
state. Is this a political graft???
