 Bought the Foster Lot.

Editor Evening Democrat:
 Dear Sir: The building committee, after making an examination of the Foster lot. decided that they could not build on this site and keep within the appropria ton of 5000 It would be too expensive on account of rock. Then the plotters for this lot for a school site got together called special school meeting for the purpose of discharging the building committee, selecting a new one and getting an ex- tra appropriation to build on this site.
 At this meeting they were badly de- feated. MT Williams made the motion for S3,o00 extra appropriation, he being the only one who voted for the motion. About half the voters of the district re- quested the district committee to call a special school meeting for the purpose of instructing the building committee not to spend any money on the Foster site and also to select a new site. The plotters for the Foster site saw they would be defeated if they gave the dis trict a fair show. They got together early. tabled the motion and adjourned the meeting. The committee locked up the school house and took a sneak. This was all done in about fifteen minutes, before the voters of the dis trict could get there.
 The plotters for the Foster lot were jubilant over the smart trick they had played the district: loud words were exchanged. and they nearly came to blows outside the school house. About the same number of voters requested the committeeman to call another meeting for the same purpose. He took no notice of this request.
 At the annual meeting in June two more names were added to the build- ing committee. MT Williams and Mir Foster. both of them for the Foster site. This will give the advocates of the Foster site a majority on the build- ing committee. As the committee now stands they will not hesitate to spend the districts money on this improper site. no matter how expensive. incon- venient or inferior the structure may he: But they have by no means fair saiing yet. for it is believed that no responsible contractor will take the job to build a satisfactory building on this site and agree to keep within the appropriation. The district has most emphatically instructed the building committee not to expend any more than the S5GD1 for the school build- ing. grading and everything complete. If they spend any more than this the committee who sign the contract will be responsible for it.
 No reasonable excuse can he ziven for building on this lot. How came this selection to he made; It is said fhe Naugstuck school visitors were in- vited by a committee appointed by the district tO make this selection. They came twice and they made two seIec- tions. The first one a lot that was very desirable every way. north of the little chapel. but this was not satis- factory t0 the plotters for the Poster lot and nO notice was taken of this se- lection. The second time they came they were piIOted to the Foster lot by the district committee and. as a mat ter of form. they selected this site It was purchased by the district commit tee without consulting the district
