4. Numbered pages 9 through 12 of the plan should be de-
leted.
5. The order of this Court entered on November 7, 1969,
shall remain otherwise unchanged, except as provided for herein-
above.
6. This motion is based upon the following considerations:
The original desegregation plan ordered by this Court on
November 7, 1969, contained such serious discrepancies as to be
practically impossible to put into effect, in that some of the
geographic zones contained a substantial shortage of students
and others a substantial excess of students as compared to the
capacity of the school buildings located within the zones. In
addition, some of the zone lines were difficult or impossible to
locate, and a large populated area of the county, containing some
350 students, was not included in any elementary or junior high
school zone.
After the November 7, 1969, order of this Court, these
discrepancies were pointed out and discussed at length and in
detail at several conferences between representatives of the
school district, the U. S. Department of Justice and the U. S.
Department of Health, Education and Welfare. Recognizing the
difficulties, the Justice Department requested the Department of
%ealth, Pducation and Welfare to send a representative to Natchez
to prepare amendments and alterations to the plan in order to
correct the discrepancies.
The amendments and alterations to the plan, hereinabove
recommended, are those of the representative of the Department
of Health, Education and Welfare, based upon the additional work
performed by him in Natchez at the request of the Justice
Department.
The proposed amendments and alterations have been submitted
to, discussed with, and approved by the representatives of the
Justice Department.
WHEREFORE, the Natchez Special Municipal Separate School
District respectfully moves the Court to amend and alter, in the
respects hereinabove set forth, the desegregation plan heretofore
ordered by this Court.
