White expressed he guess that the state election would be called when “it is most politically expedient.” Langston asked the school boards if they felt the county bond issue should be presented before, after or along with the state bond issue, but he got no answer. Langston also asked the school officials, "Do you as taxpayers and businessmen feel we should bond our county to the full legal limit and not leave any room in case of an emergency ?”1 Again he got no answer.
