 A regular meeting of the Board of Education was held in their rooms on Orange street last evening. It was vo- ted that owing to the absence of E. A. Betts, who is member of the building committee, not to do anything about the new school which is to be built in the Webster district, until the January meeting of the board. It seemed to be the general opinion of those present last evening that work on the new structure should be commenced as soon as possible. A vote will be passed at the January meeting authorizing the building committee, which consists of Messrs. Spang, Bets and Wheeler, to advertise for plans and bids. Just as soon as the frost leaves the ground in the spring the work will be commenced. It is likely that the new building may cost more than the sixty-five thousand dollars, which has been appropriated. The committee spent some time last evening going over the estimates which have been submitted to the board of aldermen by the board of finance.

 Maude R. Reilly from Room Il, Cedar street school, to Room F, in the same school.
