School Retires First Boruis
At the December meeting of the' Board of £>iucation of the Huntley School IMstrict 158, it was reported that the final $30,000. on the prin¬ cipal and $4674."^ of interest was paid on the interest of the original bond issue of $320,000. which was passed by vote of the people 20 years ago.
In 1947 a petition with 250 signat¬ ures was received by the Huntley Board of Education from residents of the Crystal Lake School dist¬ ricts No. 47 and No. 156, requeet-i ing that a vote be taken to annex Huntley District No 158 to the Crystal Lake districts.
Mr. Brnest Stading, Jr., the only member of tfaat Board of Educat¬ ion still serving on tfae current board, reported that at that time, the trend in the oounty was to consolidate scfaool districts. TTiree districts were to be eliminated — cne of the districts was Huntley.
According  to Mr.   Stadbqr the
mBiUey. Wodditodt IMt haiteewr,
that their district waa large enough and dM not want the addSfitmal area.
Crystal Lake, on tiw otfaer hand, wanted to consolidate the unin¬ cumbered Huntley district with its $320,000. maximum bonding power. Had the plannMs in Crystal Lake been successful, the children in grades 1-12 would have been bus> ssed to the Crystal Lake schoote.
The 1947 HunUey Board of Ed¬ ucation did not want this and went to great length to consult with the oounty officials at that tfane to stop this annexatkin of the Mtent- ley area. It was finally decided to hold a bond issue for the mexbnunt $390,000. for the purpose ot buUd¬ ing a new sdiooJ. After the vott which carried, acoontbig to Mr. Stading, by 90%, the Crystal Ltfce districts no longer wanted the Hunt ley as it was now enambereA to the fullest extent of its bonding power and in addltkm the tStOjOOO. could not be transferred from HunUey to Crystal Lidce aa Bib bonds werea Iready made out.
Mr. Stading s^i^ that the con¬ struction of the neir ici buU(fing was not oompleted 1965. He added that wittitn next tfaree years the $72,000. and the $130,00. btmds from inpevious bond Jauni will be retired. Tliis. he cepMlted, will leave only the current $350,000. bond for the h^ sdMol and tfae $125,000. bonds tot. the pravknas ai^tl<Bi to the gmde school to be reUred.
