If this territory is annexed to Austin, it will decrease the valuation of the district one-third, and this will make it difficult for Fiskville to finance their 167 168 school. 2. Since the negro school in Fiskville District is an asset to the district, the proposed boundary line will further decrease the valuation of the district by taking the negro school out of the Fiskville district. 3. The petition which was presented to the City Council had 27 signers, only 13 of these were qualified voters. 4. Some of the negroes who signed the petition were told that Austin would give them bus service to the City schools. Since they have learned that they would not get bus service, they are opposed to annexation to the city. (Sgd) Jasper Elliott J. O. Robinson Mrs. Lucille Harvey Trustees. II Mrs. G. C.
