SPECIAL MEETING OF
.SnO0L COMMITTEE
Especial to The Farmer

Fairfield, March 25-At the special
town meeting held a week ago today
committee consisting of Samuel
Wheeler, S. c. Rradley and John H.
Perry, was appointed to confer with
the school board in reference to the
proposed addition to the school build
fngs- This committee met late Fri
day afternoon in session with the
school board, and the matter gone
over at length. 1t was the sense of
the meeting that the addition be built
or brick. in such a way that it would
form the central part of a large brick
school house; that is, so that it might
be added to later, making a complete
building in itself. Warren Briggs. an
architect, was present at the meeting,
dillon could be built for 1900, while
q wooden building of the same capac-
ity could be erected for $4,000. The
architect was instructed to draw plans
and submit them to a later meeting
of the board to be held probably on
Friday of this week. Following that
meeting the Selectlnen will call an
other town meeting, at which the COM
mfttee Will report. The committee, in
order to keep the tax rate as near as
possible to the present Il mills will
doubtless recommend an appropriation
OF s1o,oo0. counting on either receiving
some private donations toward the
bonds for the balance.
