The Special Town Meeting.

A special town meeting was held
Monday forenoon at 10 o'clock. p. II.
Rutter moderator for the year, called
the meeting to order, and the clerk, c.
W. Cutler, read the warrant. The first
article was to see If the town would
lenghthen the school year to &c weeks.
After some discussion and explanation
by the school directors 1t was voted to
instruct the directors to arrange for
80 weeks school year. II was voted to
dismiss the second article, to see If the
town would instruct the school directors
to maintain a school in district No. 3,
which places the responsibility back on
the school directors. Many of the cit-
zens have a feeling that such a matter
should be settled by the voters of that
particular district
The third article called for action by
the town on the matter of purchasing
land for the purpose of changing the
sanitary conditions at the village school,
house. 1t was voted that the school d.
rectors and the selectmen constitute
a committee to make such a purchase
Article four was to see If the town
would vote to build n foot bridge over
the West river near the farm OF
Clarence Truesdell. While there was
much to be said in favor of such a
bridge, there were serious difficulties to
overcome. 1t was voted to refer the
matter to the selectmen for investiga-
ton, report to be made at the annual
meeting in March.
Article five was to see If the town
would raise additional money for the
support of the schools made necessary
by the lengthening of the school year
1t was voted to instruct the selectmen
to borrow money If necessary to finish
out the school year, and the article was
dismissed.
There being no other business the
meeting was adjourned at 11.30
An interesting feature of the town
meeting was the presence of the wo-
men, who came out in great numbers.
1t was expected that opposition would
develop to some of the measures pro-
posed, and great interest was manifest
ed by the mothers who have children
in the schools. 1t furnished an excel
lent Illustration of the kind of town
meeting we might expect if the women
could vote, and would attend the meet
ings. 1t was as orderly and harmonious,
no difference of opinion developing in
regard to any of the questions before
the meeting excepting that referring to
district No g.
