We are in favor of making the
improvements referred to in the
foregoing notice and also of fts
ting up the closets in the High
School building and connecting
the same with the public sewer.
The present sanitary conditions
at the school house are such that
it is absolutely necessary to make
the Improvement referred to.
Many of the business men and
citizens of the Villagehaves severe
ly criticised both the Town Board
and the Board of School Direc-
tors fornot making said improve
ments out of the funds voted at
the last Annual Town meeting,
which funds, it is claimed, were
appropriated for that express
purpose. The writer did not at
tend the Town meeting referred
to and, therefore, has no person
al knowledge of what proceed
ings were had at said meeting.
However, we have taken the
trouble to examine the proceed
ings of that meeting as they APP
pear upon the records in the
Town Clerks office. hefollow-
ing is a copy OF such proceedings
so far as they apply to the sub
ject under consideration:
Upon motion the following
sums were raised for the expen-
ses of the ensuing year:
For Sewerage Fund. 81,
Under the head of School Pur-
poses" the following entry ap-
pears:
For repair Of water closets $500
1t will be seen, therefore, that
no express instructions were Civ
en- to the officers of the Town OF
School District. We may criti-
else their Judgment but we car
not question their authority tc
expend town funds as they have
