The report was ac- cepted, but owing to the lateness of the season 1t was decided to defer &C., ton with reference to the construction of the new building until next year. At the close of the school session all present were called together as a viii lage improvement committee, when such work as the city Is expected to attend to was discussed, the most inn 1 portant being the Meriden road from Ashley corner to Grange hall.
