The annual school meeting held at |
Town Hall last evening was numerously |
attended, and much interest was mani |
Tested in its proceedings. AT the APP |
pointed hour, Col. W. G. Veazey, for the |
selectmen, called the meeting to order |
and read the articles of warning after
which, under the 1st and "a articles |
thereof, Martin G. Eyerts was elected
Moderator and Sidney ". Rowell, Clerk, !
when Mr.. Veazey declared the Rutland !
Graded School District duly organized.
Under the 3d article of the warning !
the reports of the prudential committees
ana treasurers OF the Union School dis
tricts and districts Nos. 2 and 10 we're
, read, showing that though all of them
were more or less in debt, they were In
very prosperous condition. The affairs
of district No. Is appear to be somewhat
muddied, and the committee were unable
to report, though the treasurer gave a
verbal statement of the money in his
possession as we'll as the liabilities ofthe
district, from which we infer that the
district will be able to show clean bal
ance-sheet. Messrs. W. A. Burnett, J.
NJ. Hall and W. G. Veazey were appoint
ed committee to examine the books
and accounts OF the officers Of that dis
trict for the past two years and report
at future meeting.
When the reports Of the late District
No. 20 were called for, Gen. Isaac Nc
Daniels arose and said that as the repre-
sentative of that district, he would state
that it acknowledged neither amalga-
nation nor consolidation; it did not
recognize the authority or existence OF
the Graded School District it would
not pay taxes levied upon it for the sup
port of such q district; it would not
build school houses nor pay the debts of
other districts, but proposed to go on,
as heretofore, and hire its own teachers
and transact it's own business. Here
the Moderator declared Mr.. McDaniels'
remarks out of order, and the gentle
man subsidized,
Under the 4th, 5th, 9th and It'll arti-
Giles of the warning, George A. futile,
ESQ, moved that committee of one
from each ward be appointed to nomi-
nate Prudential Committee, Collector,
Treasurer and Auditor for the district
for the ensuing year. The motion was
amended by substituting the word
"two" for "one," and as so amended,
was carried. 1t being the pleasure Of
tho meeting that the committee be ap-
pointed by the Moderator, that official
announced the following gentlemen as
