warranty deed, for when he was buy

he was going TO get the dog City Clerk
/ Mackay read the deed transferring the
Congregational property to the society
of that church, naming specifically the

without need Of a gymnasium.
! School Commissioner J. w. Jackson
told about curvature OF. the spine among
school children because of long sessions
in school without relaXation hence, he
favored the scheme. Principal Q. X.
Hollster Of Goddard seminary was en-
thusiastic for the building. John Bishop
thought such building ought to be for
all, rather than the Spaulding children;
he was told it was intended for all.
4 L. A. Walker, who drew the plans for
the proposed bhlding explained the
architecture briefly. II. g. Rowland
thought the location rather poor as the
building might shut off the light from
the Spaulding building. James Cruick-
shank was the last speaker, and he OPP
posed. The motion was lost, and the ar

much money would be spent for the
building was passed over.
Evening Drawing School
The voters were getting impatient by
this time, and there was such evident
strength for the public evening drawing
school project that citizens didn't wish
for extended remarks However they
listened to the explanations of John Nc
Donald. James Adie. SilyiO Cardi and
A. B. Coffin; but showed the loud pedal
on several Others who essayed to speak.
Then the article was carried, with one
vote in opposition.
The means for supporting the evening
drawing school, the first year cost of
which was estimated at S3.460, was pro-
vided by levying a special school tax
Of 8 cents, after which the citizens made
haste to adjourn.
