Following the reading of the above
report Mr. Milliken spoke at some
length against it. stating that he haa
not seen the plans of the proposed
building nor had he been to the meet
ings of the committee He had visited
the High school building and thought
that more room was needed. but not
so much as the plans mentioned in the
report called for. In his opinion the
sum of 100000 or $25, 900 would be suf-
ficient He also thought more time
necessary for consideration of the
question.
Mr.. Boothby then submitted the
following minority report of the com
mittee:
THE committee appointed to con-
slider the question of additional accom-
modations for our High school and
formulate plans and estimates there
for feel that more time should be
granted for careful consideration of
the matter. and respectfully request
that the present committee be con-
tinued and report at an adjourned

Thanksgiving day brings more forcbly to us the
