persede the district system in June,
and thus early there is indication of
a lively session at the town meeting
which will act upon changes of impor-
lance. A school committee of three
will be appointed and these gentlemen
are slated for the places, to serve with
out pay: Joseph Leahy of Stonington
borough, James Cooper of Mystic and
Alberti r. Sti1lman of Pawcatuck. The
selection of superintendent of schools
will also be considered.
AS under the new system there is to
be but one high school in the large
town, the location of this particular
school will be decided. There are three
good buildings in the town at the pres
emf time that are used as high schools,
l. e., in StoningtonN borough, in Mystic
and in Pawcatuck, either of which is
well adapted to be the sole high school
under the new system.
This high school is wanted by the
three districts, and only one can win,
SO there is liable to be lively contest
for the coveted prize. If the voters of
Pawcatuck are united on the matter
the new and modern SchOO1house in the
Second voting district will not be dis
continued as a high school, as over
half of the voters of the town reside
in Pawcatuck.

A Weary Willie Camp-VilIage to

There was rumor Friday that F.
T. Rathburn, who has purchased the
property known as the North dock
from the e. H. Potter estate, would
erect large and modern coal chutes Tor
however, that he has no intention of
erecting buildings al present and the
prospects of future building Will de-
pend entirely on the attitude of the
n. Y, NJ H. & H. r. r. in regards to
the purchase of his property near the
station. Civil engineers of the rail-
road have been at work for the past
two years making surveys OF the prop
critics adjoining the Front street cross

as the propertv of Mr.. Rathburn comes
in line of the survev it will be neces-
sary for the railroad company to pur-
chase the land, as Mr.. Rathburn would
have no means of exit from his coal
yards and his purchase of the North
