cerS Elected Last EVenlng.
 The annual meeting of the school district was largely attended last night Horace Garrigus was appoint ed chairman. A considerable part of the meeting was devoted to listening to and considering gthe report on con solidation from Committeeman Ed wards and Wolff, Committeeman Rig ney being absent. The reports were verbal The following bills, which were incurred in fighting the consoli- dation act, were read: Attorney Jo- seph Barbour, S1,0O0; Attorney Greene Kendriek. $500; Porter l.. Wood, S2O0. Five or six town school districts have to pay this. Each apportionment is made to the grand list, consequently Waterville was asked to pay one-third of the cost. or about S411. There was considerable discussion concerning the Kendrick bill Committeeman Ed wards and Wolff stated that they told the committeeman from the other dis tricts that they would have nothing to do with hiring Kendrick or paving him if hired when the question of en- gazing Kendrick arose at a meeting of the committeeman. Therefore they did not think that they were bound to pay him anything. As to Attorney Woods claim, the committeeman were also adverse to paying it. inasmuch as he was not engaged by the committee men, but by Attorney Barbour. There fore the latter should pay him. Dis cuss1on was becoming general and very warm when the following reso- lution was made by F. w. Wheeler. Voted, that this district shall pay one sixth of the total bill, providing the total bill does not exceed $1 300. It was MT Wheeler's intention not to pay Attorney Woods claim This motion was lost. A motion was then made by Herbert Tu1lar that the district should pay its portion of the whole bill in proportion to it's grand, list. This motion was also lost Matters were becoming somewhat twisted and some of those present were becoming impatient, when the clerk read a vote that had been passed at recent meet ing. The vote authorized that the committeeman should have full power to spend as much money as they con sdiefed necessary in fighting consoli- datiOn. Therefore the question of payment was left in the hands of the committeeman. A motion was then made to adjourn, but it was lost. It was then moved that the meeting pro- ceed to the election of officers for the ensuing year. James B. Cavanaugh thought it unwise to appoint new of ficers until the consolidation affair had been settled, and report made by the committeeman. The motoin was. however, passed, and the election of officers took place with the follow ing results: Clerk. s. W. Randall: col lector, Dr J. s. Holroyd: treasurer. s. D. Buck: assessor. Herbert Tullar. Lewis Gates was elected committee man for three years to succeed c. H. | Edwards. S. w. Randall, S. D. Buck and Herbert Tullar were elected prac- tically- unanimous. For the position of tax collector there was shor. ocn- test between Dr. J. S. Holrovd and Dr Ryder, and there was also an exciting race between Lewis Gates. Elmer II Chatield and c. Fl. Edwards for the position of committeeman. The meet ing adjourned until June 2S.
 The regular services will be held at the usual hours tomorrow in the var Ious churches.
