voters approved, by a b etter than two-to-one margin, the la test in a series of proposed bond issues dasigned to ^jnxivide a ^ tic m a l space for the d istrict's ra|rfdly growing student population.

The $580,000 bond issue pro­vides for the construction of a 14-rooni elem entary school on the grounds of the 'present building in Boiceville. The school is ex­pected to be ready for Use by January 1960.

A to tal of 517 voted in favor of Saturday’s bond issue, with 247 voting against the proposal. Ten votes void.

The two previous bond issues were defeated by large margins. However, only 764 voters turned out a t the school in Boiceville last Saturday, as compared w ith al­m ost 1,800 for the vote on the second bond issue last June.

Supreme Court Justice Says OCS-Woodstock Union Valid

A Supreme Court justice has ruled th a t an Education D epart­m ent order linking the Wood- stock school district with Onteora central school is valid. Justice William Deckelman of Albany last week Thursday denied an appeal to vacate the order of Acting Commissioner Edald B, Nyequist approving the annexation. ,

The justice also enjoined the members of the form er board of trustees of the Woodstock school d istrict from all offidal action. This board and the Onteora cen­tra l school board had sent out tax bDls to residents in the district this yeair. The W oodstock' board te d also refused to to m over tax ixjlls- to the Onteora d istric t

N either board was able to col­lect, however, because of a stay order issued by another Supreme Court justice in July halting all proceedings pending the end of the current litigation. The stay was issued when opponents of the m erger w ent to .cou rt a fter Com­missioner Janos E. A llen-had up­held the annexation vote of Au­gust 1957,

The. exponents of the annexa­tion could sta ll the actual m erger fu rther if suffident grounds are found to carry the case to the A ppdlate Division of the Su­preme Court. Unless Ijiis is done, the case is apparently dosed and Woodstodc is an integrated part of the C teteora 'd istric t
