There is likely to be an effort at the
special town meeting now being petl-
toned for to transfer the work begun by
the building committee into the hands
of the trustees of the school tund fof
completion. Our selectmen will be 1kely
to come in for their share of censure by
those opposed to their renting the lower
story of the town building to Poor
Brothers for a store without getting a
vote of the town to do SO. lt is expected
a meeting will be called about January
18th.
petition numerously sigGed is being
circulated by Oliver Dixie to have a
snecial town meeting called this month
to see if the town will vote to have the
trustees of the academy fund incorporat-
ed and to ask for an appropriation from
the legislature TO carry in to effecG the
terms of the will of DR.. j. +. Potter, and
to see if the town will vote to authorize
the trustees Of the academy school tund
TO expend the interest of the fund left
bvDr. Potter for the benefit of Sunday
schools, and decide what part OF the
interest shall be divided in the different
parts of the own; also to see If the town
will vote to rent any part OF their build
ing, and if 80, upon what terms and to
instruct the builing committee to take
no further acton in regard TO grading OF
building at present. A very inharmoni-
GUS Meeting is looked for, as there are
many conflicting interests at stake. 1t
seems as if the town should first ask the
legislature to extend the powers OF towns
to raise money to carry into effect be-
quests for educational purposes by
amending the general law of 1887 SO as
TO apply to educational purposes of g
wider scope than what the 1887 law ap-
niles to. There is also question as tc
whether the town legally accepted eth
er the bequest for Sunday school or relIg'
ious purposes or the bequest given fol-
the benefit of the academic school as the
law of 1889 does not apply to bequests
for religious purposes, but only tc
benevolent OF charitable and educational
purposes, etc.
