Annville Votes Down Loan For New School Building Annville, Pa., April 12. A final appeal wus made Tuesday to the voters of Annville to launch a loan to raise money for a new school building. De spite the sentiment of a large number and a demonstrative parade by all the school children, the measure was de feated by a 340-138 vote. The buildings used at present for both tho grades and the High School are inadequate and the sanitary con ditions arc such that they have been condemned on several occasions by State Board Inspectors. In a recent communication from the State author- It les it was stated that unless^these conditions were improved that there was a probability of the State appro priation being withheld. It was con tended by some that the most practi cal plan would be to build a new build ing that would take care of all the children of Annville and accordingly architectural plans were submitted and have been on exhibition for sev eral weeks in the hopes that favorable sentiment may be aroused. Those who opposed the measure agreed that a new building- was need ed, but the present national crisis made it imperative that they defer the building of the same until more fav orable times. In the meantime such improvements will be made on the old buildings that will bring them into conformity to tho State School Law. "Great and Beautiful" Germany Is Forecast Amsterdam, April 12.
