The school board, at a special meeting held in Roosevelt, nesday evening, decided to Wed- retain attorney Ray E. Dillman of Roosevelt to defend them in the action. This meeting was set at the meeting which decided upon the change to Roosevelt, and was set as the first meeting in the new location. The place of the meeting was not changed, even though the offices were not moved. Three prime reasons for opposi- ng the move were given by Mr. Case, chairman of the committee selected at the mass meeting; 1st, that the move is not economically sound, 2nd, that the decision constituted an attempt to make a Politicial football out of the school board offices, and 3rd, that the school board is an arm of the county government, and as such should be located at the county seat. Costs Increased In substantiation of his claim that the move is unsound Mr. Case has made a Personal survey of the distances which it would be required to travel to visit each school from the two different locations and has found that it would take 450 m,'cs to make the trips from Roosevelt, as compared to 392 to make them from Duchesne.
