The Middlebury register. [volume] (Middlebury, Vt.) 1850-1882, 1877-03-24

N@Prof. G. g. Cove, principal of the
IWestport Graded School, graduate of
\ Middiebury college in 1874, was in
town, Tuesday, and attended the Junior
exhibition.
Mr.. Gasca Rich, of Richville, has
purchased the residence of L. Barker,
ESQ.,, on South street, and will remove
here with his family at an early day.
Mr.. Rich's son will continue to carry
on the business at the old stand in Rich
vile. Our people will welcome Mr..
Rich to residence among us.
Next Tuesday, March 27, occurs the
annual school meeting. OF course, about
these days there Is the usual canvassing
for place in the appointments and clam
oring for reduction of expenses. No
action should be taken which will have
a tendency to injure the efficiency or
lower the standard ofexcellence already
attained by our school.
The forthcoming report ofthc treas
urer of school district No. 4, will show,
among other items of interest, an ig<
come of over 800 from tuition bills an
increase of 5000 on last years report;
1866 received from school fund and
nearly $500 from use of hall, treasurer
of grammar school, etc. The balance of
taxes uncollected exceeds the unpaid
orders by about $500. After Il careful
examination of the probable income and
expenses of the coming year, it is
thought that q tax of So cents OH the
dollar will pay the running expenses of
the school and one years interest on
the $4,000 five year orders unpaid. In
case the district vote TO pay $4,000 of
these orders, Il tax of 80 cents on the
dollar will be required in addition to
the above. Under the present efficient
management We see no reason why the
tuition bills may not reach over $1,000
in y short ime.
N<The Juniors of Middlebury college

femy hall on Tuesday evening. This
