Argenta School Bid Held Move To Save Money Officials of the Argenta community unit district and Macon county school authorities struck out again yesterday at a petition which would shift about $700.000 in property from the Argenta unit to Monticello community unit school district No.

25. The officials met in a Monticello hearing before Piatt County Supt. of Schools Charies McIntosh, who must decide the question. Opposing them were landowners and owner representatives of the three and one-half Macon county sections involved. ANTI PETITIONERS based their case on their assertion that the move was designed to slip the land into a low tax rate district, rather than a plan for bettering education, and that the annexation might seriously hamper the Argenta district which now has about, 15 million dollars in assessed value.

The Monticello district now contains about 84 million dollars in Piatt county alone. the Macon, county men pointed out. It contains about 140 sections of land against 80 in the Argenta area. The territory in dispute is 13 miles from Monticello, where the three high school pupil residents would go if the petition were allowed. It is about a mile from Cisco, where the six grade school children involved would go under the proposed change.

IF THE PETITION is denied by Mr. McIntosh, all nine pupils may attend schools in Argenta, four miles distant. Argenta district officials ed an offer to pay tuition for any grade school children whose parents send them to the Cisco school. three miles closer. The move is being sparked by large landowners in the area, school men charged.

and much of the territory in dispute is not the residence of the owner. Children in the petitioning territory have been attending Argenta schools and now are registered there, according to school officials. who claimed that shows Argenta is their natural educational center. MACON COUNTY men pointed out that, before the unit school district organization, about half of the area was in the Argenta grade school district and one half was in the Cisco grade school district. That.

they said, emphasizes the fact that taxation problems rather than educational needs brought about the petition. One landowner in the meeting declared he "didn't know" why he was included in the petition. "I'm willing to pay my taxes." he said. The inclusion of the disputed territory in the Argenta district was made at the recommendation of the unit survey committees involved. the Macon county men claimed.

and the decision was confirmed by public vote. They emphasized the value of the Macon county-Piatt county dividing line as the natural boundry for the units. PETITIONERS based much of their case on their assertion that the disputed area has a natural trade tie-up with Cisco. which is just over the line in Piatt county. On this and their stated desire for separation from the Argenta tem, they asked Mr.

McIntosh to grant their case. The Piatt superintendent has declared no decision will be announced until after a hearing of the last case of a series of petitions in which areas from four counties have asked to be included in the low tax rate Monticello area district. A hearing on a Deland- Weldon petition is the last scheduled and is expected to come before Mr. McIntosh Aug. 4.

It involves the largest transfer of the series. Thirteen sections of the unit have asked for entrance into the Monticello unit. MORE THAN 30 sections in Macon, Piatt. Dewitt and Champaign counties are involved in petitioning. Representatives from Macon county included Harry Munch, Argenta of education president: Verne Amacher, Argenta superintendent of schools; Robert B.

Ernest, Macon county superintedent of schools: Archie McIntosh of the county school survey committee. and other members of the Argenta board of education.

Ammann Area Residents Ask Taxing Change Property owners in the William Ammann addition complained before the county board of review Friday morning about their taxes and the method of establishing valuations. William G. Kawaski of 1565 East Vanderhoof street was spokesman for the group of 17 who said the rest of the 28 property owners in the addition are supporting the objections.

LAST NIGHT, Mr. Kawaski said Board Chairman J. A. Carr and other members assured the objectors that the board will visit the addition and inspect each piece of property "in order to reach and impartial conclusion regarding the objections." The spokesman said the properties involved are in the 1400 and 1500 blocks East Vanderhoof street and that the group wants equitable valuation and assessment comparable to other property in the locality. THE AVERAGE tax on property in the addition in 1945 was $80, Mr.

Kawaski said. The average jumped $110 in 1946 and to $140 last year, with the promise that the figure will be higher for the current year, he asserted. The group claimed that revaluation of the properties is needed and that the resale value of the property should not be taken into sideration among persons who purchased houses with the tion of living in them. Most Teachers Seeking Jobs In High School Nearly 100 teachers have applied for positions in the Decatur public schools within the last 10 days, according to Lester Grant, superintendent of schools. The number is unusually heavy in the secondary school level, Mr.

Grant said, but elementary applications still are light. There are 14 elementary vacancies. he said. THE SECONDARY applications are for four vacancies in the high school. Between 35 and 40 teachers have applied for the position of English teacher, 20 for science.

for industrial arts and 10 for girls' physical education. Despite the large number of applications for vocation arts instructorship, the high school still is without a teacher for a vocational sheet metal class. Mr. Grant said the elementary teacher shortage is at least statewide and is the result of increasing rewards for secondary instructors. Many elementary teachers are trying for higher positions through increased education.

DECATUR vacancies this year are about average for elementary levels, but there are fewer in secondary levels. Teachers are attracted to this city by the relatively high pay scale, Mr. Grant said, but the new 46-week work program, which calls for eight weeks more than school year, tends to offset the advantage.
