es in Schools Discussed.
Simon B. Peacock Passes Away
Wednesday Night, Aged 81 Yrs.

A special meeting of the mayor and
hoard of aldermen was held Thursday
evening primarily for the purpose of
discussing the question of the location
IL the State road to be built the pres
ent wear. but several Incidental queS-
lions were brought up an passed upon.
Henry Richards of the Board of Edu-
cation appeared before the mayor and
aldermen and requested a ruling from
the Board of Health on the matter of
minor contagious diseases in the pub
lie schools, and the question was re-
ferred to committee. The vote taken
at a previous meeting, whereby Frank
F. Andrews was chosen deputy city
marshal at a salary of 5000 year, was
rescirded.
The meeting was scheduled for 7.30
Int the aldermen We're late in arriV-
ing, and in the meantime Mayor G. II.
GRAY talked over the State road ques-
ton with such of the aldermen as We're
present, until the arrival of the re-
,maindtr.
The board was called to order at
sos. and Henry Richards was called
upon to lay before the board mat
ter upon which he had requested to
be heard
Mr. Richards said that the matter
which he wished to have the board
consider was a small one, but he ad
ded that it had occasioned consider
able trouble What the Board of Ed
ncaton wanted was a decision from the
Board Of Health-a ruliEg-by which
members of the board, teachers anC
parents could be guided in the matter
of minor contagious diseases, such az
mpmps..
1t developed in the course of the dis
cussion that mumps has had a milo
run through the schools. and that its
spread has been aided by the fact that
in a number of cases children have
been out of school but a few days
and nave returned with the statement
that they had been pronounced in fl
condition to attend school by a doc
tor. In one instance in the High schOo?
a girl returned to school with such
a statement, and was later more Sc
vereIy attacked and forced to leave
school again, and it is believed thai
a number of cases which subsequently
developed are traceable to this one
case.
Aldermen Lawrence and Kelley were
appointed Il committee to confer with
the Board of Health and secure the
ruling asked ,by the Board of Educa-
ton.
The next question considered was the
matter of the location OF the strip %
state road which must be built this
yettrs' For rhis' If,tirpose the sum Of
$1G4062 is available, 1927. of the
amount being appropriated by the city
and $703.12 by the state. There is q
pronounced sentiment that the work
should be done on the Causeway this
seAson. although there is a division
0Gopinion on the matter Mayor Gray
stated for the information of the board
that the location of State road, as re-
&sr,hed on. the books of the Kennebec
county commissioners, is from the West

Gardner line on Cobbossee' iavaaaIe
down Cobbossee avenue to Central
street, down Central street to the River
road and along the River road to the
Richmond line
A slight ambiguity in the wording Of
the description of the location is the
cause of all the difficulty. That por-
ton Of the River road which begins at
Central street is named Water street,
and it is upon Water street that a
portion of the State road money has
already been spent, yet the name OF
that street does not appear on the
records, it was stated.
1t was pointed out that the most
natural way to 60 from Central street
to the River road would be by way of
Brunswick avenue, past the Common
and down Church street, but this was
evidently not intended for State road
location. 4 .e..
The county commissioners will be in
Gardiner on Tuesday, May IS, to in
spect the newly determined boundaries
of Water street and it was thought
best by the aldermen to confer with,
them at that time relative to the at
titude of the commissioners for a re-
location of the State road route to in
clude the Causeway, and for closer
definition of the route as recorded on
the commissioners books.
Accordingly, on motion of Alderman
Lawrence, it was voted that a commit
tee of two be appointed to confer with
the commissioners on the matter May
10. The mayor appointed Aldermen.
Lawrence and Kelley as members of
The committee.
Alderman Lancaster complained of
he condition of the grounds at the
New Mills school, and particularly OF
he condition of the school yard fence
He believed that no fence at all would
De better than the fence in it's present
condition. AS an examination of the
statutes showed that this comes under
he jurisdiction of the experimenting
school committee or Board of Educa-
ion, it was informally agreed to call
he attention of the Board of Educa
ion to the matter.
On motion of Alderman Lawrence it,
VAS voted to rescind the vote whereby.
