WALLACE - QUESTION on NEW SCHOOL - 1895
Source: Rockville Tribune 25 April 1895 p 8
Jackson Township, Fountain County is considerably divided on a proposition to build a new school building at Wallace. At first it was intended to construct a modest edifice costing $2,500 but some of the folks got ambitious and raised the price to $4,000. This also raised a kick and resulted in a row which the county commissioners were called on to settle. The case came up at Covington on Monday of last week and was decided in favor of the $4,000 fellows. Hon. James T. Johnston, who happened to be in Covington that day, is thus mentioned in connection with the Veedersburg News Notes: "Hon. James T. Johnson was an interested spectator. Jim said he could see the 'pint! "Ef they got a school house, Jackson would go Republican in 10 years and them Myers fellars knows it." - typed by kbz
