6 THE NEWS-TRIBUNE GUARANTEES MORE PAID CITY CARRIER CIRCULATION THAN ANY OTHER WACO NEWSPAPER THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1 School Grouping Has Thorny Side Legal Guidance and Legislative Support of McLennan County Consolidation Plans Are Weak That all not so good with the efforts of those county officials In authority to effect a workable consolidation of McLennan county school districts outside the city of Waco became known yesterday. Although no official would he quoted, the sum substance of the situation appears to lie In the fact that though both County Superintendent L. A. Wood and County Attorney Dick Holt are doing their utmost to bring about an amicable adjustment of the matter to the satisfaction of all parties concerned, they do not at present seem to have the support of legal guidance or legislative enactment to bring their efforts to a conclusion. That Superintendent Wood is being absolutely fair in the controversies arising over the attempt at effecting a consolidation program In the county seems the unanimous opinion of county official circles.

Equally true, it appears. In the statement of another county official who refused his name for publication, that when it comes to getting the proper guidance from eith the state office or the attorney general same is not forthcoming and yet through no reason of Inefficiency on the part of those departments. Statutes Are Confusing "We must have spent an hour or an hour and a half with an assistant attorney general who knew his said this official, recently returned from Austin. just about find one law which would work out to solving a consolidation problem in this county when up would boh another statute ctiiH-crossIng us so that our preliminary hopes of legal settlement were promptly dispelled. Then the attorney aid, as well as the state office, admitted if looked like we were up against a blank wall because there was no coordination of iaws on the Nor is McLennan problem peculiar to this county, local officials learned by the attorney office.

Not a day passes but a telegraphic request, letter or telephone inquiry comes from every part of the state seeking legal advice to guide political bodies out of the maize of statutes to the end that effective consolidation of school districts can be brought about. Outcome Is Doubtful What the outcome is to be in McLennan county, no official would hazard a guess. They all agreed it was a long and arduous road that the county superintendent had ahead of him, but their praise for his efforts was unstinted. Wood ever gets this consolidation program said one official, father and mother of a school child in this county is going to perpetually thank him for the efficiency he has brought to our county school A genera! hoard meeting was held at the courthouse Tuesday, attended by a crowd which halfway filled Fifty-fourth district courtroom. It resolved itself into a meeting of questions and when adjournment came the consolidation program seemed no nearer solution than before the session was called to order.
