trict. W
F. A. Brewer was chosen chairman of
the meeting and Harvey Judevine, one of
the members of the school board, very
ably presented the case, setting forth the
pressing need of new schoolhouse in
this village and contencing that mas
much as the cost OF building would be
paid out OF the fund known as the Iude-
vine fund, which was wiled to this town
by the late A. E. Judevine for school pur-
poses, and not one dollar was to be
raised on the grand list of the town,
there ought not to be any opposition
from anyone outside this district.
Dan Smith of East Concord argued
against and o. F. Harvey in favor OF
building. The arguments of Mr.. Jude.
vine and Mr.. Harvey melted all opposi-
ton and the motion to build school
house out of the school funds of the
town was carried unanimously. The
second article in the warrant relating to
cost and location was disposed of by
voting to leave the whole matter with
the school directors.
