To The Press: In recent issue YOU
make note OF our school board failing to
agree upon any policy relative to the con-
| solidation act, and that two of the main
visitors had resigned for the above rea-
son. We taxpayers were very much
pleased when the board elected Mr.. Burn
ham and Mr.. Howard as visitors, knowing
/
| they were capable and having the schools
interests at heart, but now 1t looks as II
the public should know more. Why can
no policy be agreed upon? Why do these
visitors resignp Why has the board re-
fused to put forward the first principles
of consolidation? They were elected for
the purpose of giving consolidation trial
for five years. 1t Is now the end OF the
second year, and, as far as we know,
nothing has been done toward the PEG
pies vote on this question.
AS your paper Is the only one that goes
into the homes of nearly all Taxpayers
we ask you to ventilate these important
questions, nearer the hearts of the people
than any other one, and to secure and
publish report from each side, giving
the public fair chance to Judge. When
it comes to difference of opinion In our
school board and no fixed policy in use,
1t Is about time that the taxpayers step
in and demand to know reasons, and to
take action, If necessary.

Seldom is so heavy a sea seen In the upper

day It was as nasty an eastern storm as has

dropped a bit but after the sun had risen 1ts

heaviest seas were off Quarantine. where. II
they did not reach to the traditional mountain

No lives were lost, so far as is known At St.

Shooters Island. and two more are ashore on

The ferryboats were delayed by the driving
