SCHOOL BOARD MEETING.
SATURDAY NIGHTS SESSION WAS
VERY LIVELY ONE.
President Mccarthy Resigned as a Mem
Der and Director Sweeney Quit as Sec
retary-Board Refused to Accept the
New BuiIding-The False Tablet, Etc.

What was probably the liveliest ses-
sion ever held by Freefand school board
took place Saturday evening. There
and every question taken up for consid-
Grafton during the evening was discuss
ed before action was taken. More or
less friction was noticeable from the
start, and before the session was con-
cluded President McCarthy's resignation
as member of the board and Director
Sweeney's resignation as secretary were
read. The motions to accept the same
did not have majority vote, neverthe-
less the president has declared that his
connection with the board is ended
The reading of the minutes of the
special meeting on September 25 brought
a protest from the president. He claim
ed that he withdrew his vote at that
meeting for Myron Zimmerman as
teacher and declared that ballot void.
The secretary contended that the presi-
dent did not withdraw his vote, that he
simply stated that If he had seen the
certificate before voting he would GER
tainly not vote as he did. The minutes
were then approved
OVER THE PRESIDENTS PROTEST.
The regular order of business was
suspended to take up the question of
settlement of the new building with the
architect and contractor. A motion
was made by Directors Ferry and John
son to accept the building from Mr..
Riebe, the architect having given him
certificate that all work was complete
and satisfactory. After the president
misconstruGd the motion, and his atten-
tion being called to it by the maker, he
refused to accept it unless put in writing.
This Mr.. Ferry refused to do. Two
motions were then put and lost, one to
pay Mr.. Riebe 81 200 and the architects
$500 on account, aud another to lay the
final settlement over until future time.
A bill for extra masonary done by the
contractor and sanctioned by the archi-
tect, for Si1, was also laid over. Ferry's
motion
TO ACCEPT ThE BUILDING
as above was then presented in writing
and accepted. 1t failed to carry, Ferry,
johnson and Schaub voting for it and
Mccarthy, Sweeney and Timony against.
