The report of the committee on the school sub mitted at the last town meeting was referred back to the committee for further consideration. The question whether the new school should be erected on the site of the present Sherman school or on a site across the street on Little Danbury road is Euppermost. The committee will also consider the resignation of E. J. Gra- ham as superintendent of schools. MT.
