Committee Not Unanimous For High
 School Yet.


 School Yet.
 The adjourned town meeting was held at the'town hall yesterday. About forty were present. The business or the meeting was to take action re- garding the making of our Center school q high school, and to decide concerning the boundaries of the roads within one-half mile radius of the pub lie sign post. The committee which was appointed at the last meeting to find out all that was possible concern ing the present Center school made q report; that they were unable to agree. The committee inquired from the principal of the school what the studies in the seventh room of the school are. and a list of these sent To Secretary Hine inquiring whether they were sufficiently high to warrant our school being called d high school. He replied in the affirmative. A vote was taken by the meeting and the high school question was again knocked in the head. It was decided to lay out the boundary lines of the roads within a half mile radius of the public sl2n post. using as much as possible the old boundary line. Where there are none new ones will be established. At
  CT he is building outside or inside the boundary line. This will require the going over of about six miles of road. Concerning the high school there are many ill town who do not know what q high school is, and simply vote against it because they believe ii will cost us more money to run it and still derive no benefit from it. Although there is a regular three-year high school course in the seventh room. the town fails to recognize it as q high school
 The rain storm which commenced on Sunday evening. continuing un- abated up to 10 am. yesterday. did considerable damage. The road near the residence of John IIoSkins and the one on the flat near the HcminWay x Sons silk factory. were both covered 1 with nearly a foot of water. making travelling very difficult. In GreenviiIe the people were .also up against it. Large cakes of ice came floating down the river from above the factory and jammed up against the bridge. After q time the cakes began to come down more rapidly and things began to look more serious. The bridge. which is of iron. stood the test well, and the | WOIkmen soon succeeded in clearing 1 away the Ice. W hen one or the 1il Gt' | cakes was sent under the bridge ii l busted the blanks up into the air. 1 Many bridges and outhouscs were seen l floating down the stream to Water 1 bury.
