The county board of selectmen met
yesterday morning at 10 o'clock, with
all present except judge McNally. In
the regular routine a remonstrance was
read from the taxpayers of the f1ftieth
school district, protesting against the
PROF osed division, giving as reasons,
first: That Mr.. II. p. Burns is one OF
the trustees, and it was his own prop
osition to consolidate both schools
when the number of pupils attending
the upper school went above forty-five;
second. that the new district asked for
would contain about seven miles long
and three miles wide, and only has
about twenty-five pupils Of school age,
while the other would contain only
three by three miles and has ninety
pupils of school age; third, the two
school trustees who live near the south
end of the district have not decided to
close the lower school, as stated in the
petition before your honorable body;
fourth, the district is under an indebt-
edness OF over 81, 700, and it is this fact
that makes the trustees and the people
feel like economizing, and we feel that
If the facts were properly understood
the folly of dividing would be appar-
emit.
The petition is signed by twenty
seven names Of the school district.
