secretary was authorized to advertise j
for bids to build tho High school, the
same to be opened September 4,
1911.
Also the entry of September 4,
1911, when it was decided to open
the bids. At that meeting the con
tract was awarded to the lowest bid
der, Elmer Chapman, Lako town
ship, the amount being $5,G75 which
Included the cost, of installing a
steam heating and ventilating plant.
His bid was accepted, L. C. Hartley
was retained as architect at a fee of
$50, and the secretary authorized to
close the deal with the contractor.
Mr. .Ma gar gel then testified that
the contract was made, and that
some work was done by the contrac
tor. An entry dated August 13,
1909, tho wed that at a special meet
ing of the school board It was de
cided to purchase a two-acre lot from
George W. Fielding at a cost of
$uou.
When cross-examined by Attorney
Lee, Mr. Megargel said that five di
rectors wore present at the meeting
when the motion for the erection of
the building now under construction
was carried, three voting in favor
of it, and no votes being cast against
It.
He also stated that printed notices
of tho high school proposition were
orepared and tacked up around the
'"ownship. The structure was to be
a two-room building with a base
ment. It was to have two stories,
nd the dimensions were to be 32x40
and not to exceed a cost of $5,250.
Mr. Megargel also said that he
sent notices in the form of a letter
to each voter in the township in
forming them of the election.
Judge Searle here read from the
new School Code the provision that
a mjority of the board must vote
for a new school building. " It does
not now appear," ho said, " that a
majority ever voted to build a school
house."
V. V. Kizer was the third witness
called. He testified to knowing the
location of the propose'd new High
school building. It was east of the
M. E. church, he said, adjoining the
cnurcn lot, and from 400 to 600
feet from tho corners. He swore to
seeing the excavations recently made
Of them he said: " it seemed quite
wet whore they dug out. It was all
filled up with water and water stood
on the natural surface of the
ground.
In his opinion a man could scrape
out the amount of ground excavated
in a couple of days.
" I saw some sand lying there,"
lie continued, "probably eight or
nine loads. It looked as thouch
there might be three or four loads
of concrete blocks laying there.
should say there was from 700-1000
feel ol lumber there."
Mr. Kizer stated that he had no
school children. Hedenled having
been one of the parties who made
the proposition to the school direc
tors that if they would remove the
High school building of a mile
down the road nearer to Varden, he
would withdraw his objections, but
admitted that he was present when
the proposition was talked over to
make the school directors an offer
that If they moved the school site
down the road It would be dryer.
Also If it was moved down tlie road
to Varden the other sshools could
be taken up and put with it.
Attorney Greene then made a mo
tion that the petition signed by 140
residents and taxpayers of South
Canaan township be admitted for the
purpose of making them parties with
the seven plaintiffs who brought the
action against tho school directors.
and for the purpose of showing that
the plaintiffs make up a large ma
jority of the qualified electors of
the township. The Court allowed
the motion.
Secretary Megargel was recalled to
the stand and questioned by the
Court. According to Mr. Megargel's
testimony the meetings of the school
board were generally called by the
presmont. The regular meetings.
he said, were held whenever It was
most convenient. Special meetings
were called for somo particular pur
pose. No calendar of meetings for
tho year was made up. The meeting
in June was a regular meeting fixed
by the Act of Assembly.
Reference was made by tho Court
to tno new school Code which pro
vides that all school boards shall
have specific times and places of
meeting, and shall meet at least once
in two months.
According to Mr. Magargcl all the
school directors In South Canaan
are connected by telephone. He
stated that tho assessed valuation
of Canaan township is $274. GOO.
Attorney Lee asked whether any
one present in the Court House had
a copy of the notice of the election
sent out to tho taxpayers. No one
had, Tho witness stated that they
were printerLJn Honesdale. lie also
declared that the building was to be
paid for by borrowing money, and
admitted that the question of Issu
ing bonds was never submitted to
the people. The Court called at
tention to the fact that at the meet
ing when three voted for a school
house and the others didn't vote,
the project could not have been le
gally carried, as the Code provides
that a majority of the Board must
vote for It.
The hour of noon having arrived,
court was adjourned until 2 p. in.
Whan court convened in tho after
noon Secretary Megargel was called
to the stand by Judge Henry Wilson
to Identify the plans and specifica
tions of the school building for the
purpose of showing It had been ap
proved by tho State Board of Edu
cation as required by the Code. At
torney Greene objected to their ad
mission as the object of this hearing
was to inform tho Court whether or
not this Injunction can be continued
until a hearing can be held. Ho was
overruled.
The first witness called was Dr,
Alex. M. Cook, president of tho
school board. Ho testified that lie
lived in South Canaan bout 400 to
500 yards from the new building.
C
CASE
Since June, 1911, he has acted as
president of the board, being elected
to that office at the June settlement,
when all the members were present.
"Those meetings," .he said, "were
all called by telephone. I'd tele
phone around whether we can meet
or not. I generally told them what
was on ihand when I talked to them
over the 'phone. W. R. Shaffer was
present at the June, 1911, meeting,
and It was a perfectly regular meet
ing. All were present. Five voted
for it and ono sat quiet and didn't
vote at all; viz. E. D. Spangepberg,
Loren Fielding, Chas. Hotsel, H. L.
Megargel and myself. W. U. Shaffer
sat 'quiet and dlu't vote at all,
"I lived there In sight of It," he
said In responce to a question as to
the desirability of the location, "for
nine years. I really believe It's the
highest point in the neighborhood of
Canaan Corners. There's fifteen to
twenty feet fall down tho hill In a
distance of 80 to 90 feet.
"As far as tho sanitary condition
and dampness, I'd say It was as good
as any In Wayne county. In Wayne
county there is no ground sanitary
without It's being made so. The old
school house -was very unsanitary."
Under cross-examination by Attor
ney Greene he said, "I was appointed
a director to fill a vacancy of a di
rector who moved to Kansas. I
have been a resident of South Ca
naan township, eight or nine years."
E. D. Spangenberg, a member of
the school board since June 1910,
swore that he was present at tho
meotlng of June 5, 1911, when tho
whole board was present. "Five of
us," he said, " voted for It, and the
other member had nothing to say
whatever." Three measurements, he declared,
viz. 548, 522, 584 feet respectively,
were taken to show the distance from
the hotel property to tho school
building.
For the information of the Court
he gave a list of the schools In Ca
naan township, their location and at
tendance, as follows: 1. South Ca
naan; 48 scholars; 2. East; 40
scholars; 1 mile E. from the Corn
ers. 3. Frisbie; 1 J,4 miles W. of
the Corners; 42 scholars. 4.
Union; 2 miles north of South
Canaan; 13 soholars. 5. Spangen
genborg; 2 miles north from South
Canaan, a little off tho North and
.South turnpike; 22 scholars; 6 Cur
tis; 3 miles N. 'E. from South Ca
naan; 13 scholars. 7. Layton;
three miles E. of South Canaan; 13
scholars. 8. Hemlock; 1 ml. S. of
So. Canaan. 17 scholars. 9. Batz;
3 3-4 E. South Canaan, 13 scholars.
Under cross-examination by Mr.
Green admitted voting In favor of a
High school although ho knew that
the majority of the electors voted
against it at tho February election.
Loren 'Fielding, South Canaan, a
member of the school board, who
lives mile from the nronosed new
school building, said he was present
at the meeting in June. 1911. The
lot was purchased of his brother. It
was about the highest point they
could get, nnd slopes two ways. At
the June meeting, all the directors
were present; five voted to build the
school, and the other didn't vote
elthe'" way.
Under cross-examination he stated
that the building was on the north
side of the road running East to
South Canaan, and would face South.
The road, die said, was not worse
than any of the other roads. The
north and south roads he said, drift
more than the East and West roads.
Charles Hetzel, who has lived in
South Canaan for 41 years, one mile
from the proposed school building, a
member of the board, testified to be
In? present at the meeting in June.
1911. The full board was present,
and five voted for the school; the
other didn't vote at all.
After some discussion respecting
the status of the cause, and the fu
ture proceedings, counsel for the di
rectors offered to file an answer
within 30 days, that a final hearing
might bo had at a time to be fixed
by the court; Mr. Greene promised
to file a replication, that tho cause
might be put at issue.
Judge Searle then stated that he
would continue the case until such
time as the defendant filed an an
swer, the plaintiff to file a replica
tion, and then the case will be put
on for hearing.
" Of course," he said, "If the case
is continued, that will continue the
Injunction."
Court adjourned at 2:58 p. m. in
ample time to permit the 100 men
and women who Had come down on
the morning train to attend the hear
ing to return home with the 4:40 D.
& H. train.
