| largely signed for town meeting April -.
| The petition calls for warrant containing
some 10 or II articles The principal one is
to see if the town will vote to build new
schoolhouse for school No. 5. It is thought
| by some that many who voted against this
at the annual meeting have seen the error
of such a course and will heartily support
the move for a new schoolhouse. Some have
thought they could patch up the old brick
schoolhouse, which is about ready to tumble
down, and force the so pupils in the Central
district to attend school there. The room is,
in round numbers 24x23xS, with seats for so.
The Board of Health condemned it last fall.
