Superintendent Skidmore presented a lot of information to the board that has to do with the policy and progress of the district, keeping in mind the welfare of the boys and girls. He called attention to the thrifty condition of the district and expressed the belief that the school levy need not cxeeed 7.5 mills but reminded the board that less money will be collected this year.

Having Expansion Sale Having closed the Garland store and moved the stock of same to the Tremonton store, the Gephart Stores Company have been busy this week preparing and conducting an enormous expansion sale. The sale is being conducted by an expert sales manager and from all indications enormous stocks of merchandise will be sold before the sale ends. Hundreds of traders have been in Tremonton since the sale opened, the entire town having been benefited more or less by their presence in the city. Tremonton Man Doing Practice Teaching Logan, March 29. Reginald Hunsaker of Tremonton, a sophomore at the Utah State Agricultural College, is spending the spring quarter of the cur rent school year doing practice teaching work at the Logan Whittier grade school. The work is required of all students qualifying for teaching positions. Mr. Hunsaker is registered in th"? school of Education and will be graduated at the completion of the present quarter's work with a normal diploma. The war declared on rats to begin today and extend until Saturday is in full swing, under the direction of U. S. Biological Survey, Extension Service of the Farm Bureau, Tremonton Lions Club and citizens in general; all cooperating for the eradication of the most destructive and loathsome rodent pest known to man. Ready mixed bait prepared under the supervision of government experts with full directions as to its use may be had at the Farmers' Cash Union. A nominal charge to cover actual cost of materials used will be made. It is free to all who cannot meet the expense. The success of the campaign depends on the whole hearted support of every individual in Tremonton ani vicinity. It is the civic duty and responsibility of all to kill the rat and protect ourselves and neighbors. B. E. County Law Suit Lost Due to Negligence Brigham City Characterizing the Box Elder county commission as having been negligent in the protection of the county's interests, District Judge Melvin C. Harris Wednesday held the county's claim to a judgment against the National Surety company and Benjamin D. Harding, former to recover an county treasurer, amount which it is alleged Mr, Harding did not turn over to his successor, is barred by" the statute of limita' tions. The action was commenced in 1929 by the county to recover public f uncU said to have been on deposit in the old State Bank of Tremonton at the time its doors were closed, the then treasurer not having any depository bond or collateral security. The defendants set up as a defense they could not be sued after one year on a statutory liability. In the course of his oral opinion, Judge Harris stated "there appeared to be a shameful lot of misconduct on the part of the county commissioners' and there was "plenty of things that could have been done, but nothing was done" until years after, when a new set of county officers had come in. It is possible the county may take the case to the supreme court in or der to clarify the law relating to what period of time a municipality has in which to sue surety companies in like instances. iS.
