At the annual town meeting last October
a step forward was taken by the town in
voting consolidation of town management
of schools The vote of the town however
was set at naught, by the failure of the
proper authorities to call the special town
meetings required by law to elect commit
tees necessary for the change. Conse-
quently, the district system continues.
The law in regard to consolidation should
have provision made for the non-com-
