ton in this school dlStrlcC over tno result of the last school meeting held to con- sider the question of the school building It was then voted to repair the old ene The chief dissatisfaction arises from the belief that 1t is simply waste of money to attempt to repair the old building. 1t is thought also that the bill for repairs, when once begun, will amount to more than was anticipated, and would be good percentage of the amount required for an entire new building. It is thought too, that since certain citizens have offer- ed to give liberal sums of money for sucn a building under certain contingencies, that the district ought to accept these or fers. Many hope that the citizens or the district will take a second sober thought, and even yet make arrangements Tor an entirely new building. At least many hope that the end of the whole matter has not yet been reached.
