1t Is not unnatural that IN some minds
there has been misrepresentation IL regard

court testimony d month ago about "a certain
oil transaction IL Pennsylvania which he said
was 10 help Sawyer, and from which be ex-
pected TO realize no benefit for himself The
mention of the name Sawyer IL this con
nectlon naturally suggested n o. Sawyer, the
assistant cashier of the First National bank.
In point of fact, however, the sawyer referred
to by Mr.. Waite was the late Franklin SAWYER
of kewfane, VINO was a director IN the old
Mlndham County bank ana also IL the First
National up to the time of mis- death. At the

ing. which occurs next Tuesday evening, con
taIns several articles the most important Of
which relates to the appropriation OF a suth
cient sum of money TO warrant the erection
of a new school building IN accordance with
the plans decided upon by the committee.
There Is no question but that the committee
have acted with great prudence and dlscre-
ton in this matter, and it Is to be hoped that
the district will take no backward step, nor
allow any delay IN prosecuting the work Of
building the new house There have been
intimations that there will be an attempt TO
instruct the committee TO cheaper the build
ing by using wood instead Of brick, or else to
put the whole matter by for the present Eth
err of these alternatives would be unwise in
the extreme. While we are about II let us
have building which shall contain 'value
received" for the money invested So far as
the question of delay is concerned, no person
who at all realizes the unwholesome condi-
lions with which the children in the lower
grades are surrounded will listen for a mo-
ment 10 any proposition for delay The com
mittee might easily have let the contract for
the new building, and thereby involved the
district IN only a small debt but they chose
instead to have the district start with a pre-
else knowledge as 70 where it was coming out
In this they did wisely, and It is 10 be hoped
they will now be given the additional $1,000
to 5000 which it is understood will meet all
the requirements
