FINAL MEETING OF FALLS DISTRICT
Dozen Voters Transact Last Business Before School Con-
 aoldaton-President Tanning Advises Election of Off, cers to Maintain Organization Loan Authorized.

Friday evening with an attendance of a dozen voters of the district, the annual meeting of the Falls school dis trict was held at the schoolhouse, the final annual meeting which the district will hold before 1t passes under the regime of town school consolidation on July 1st.
 President Joseph T Tanning. who was concluding his term of a year, called the meeting to order, and Clerk c. Leslie Hopkins, who has held this position for 24 years successively, read the warning.
 District Report.
 In this the first matter was to re- ceive the district committee report, which was presented in printed form and read by Clerk Hopkins as fol- lows:
 The school of the Falls district will close it's labors on June goth. under the management of the same efficient corps of teachers as last year. with the exception that Miss Elizabeth T. Hayes retired from the school some weeks ago. This she found necessary to do on account of her health. Miss Alice M. Mullin, the regular substitute teacher, immediately assumed charge of Miss Hayes room and will continue the work until the close of the year.
 The work which the district com mittee mapped out to do under orders from the health officer, Dr. Lewis, has been completed. As a result a new hard wood floor has been laid in Miss Stetson's room, and new seats install ed, so that the room is in excellent re- pair at the present time.
 This work was paid for out of our regular income, and as a result the committee will not be able to close the school year with all obligations paid without asking the permission of the taxpayers to borrow a sum sufficient to meet a part of the teachers payroll, wich will be due the latter part of the month.
 This is probably the last report that will ever be made by the district com mfttee of the Falls district, as before another year rolls around the commit tee will have been legislated out of office, and the burden assumed by the town school committee of Norwich.
 We hope that the management will furnish to the children of this com munity as good an opportunity for a graded school education as they have had in the past.
 While we as a district cannot turn over to the town of Norwich, in com pliance with the recent vote, property free from debt, as some of the districts do, We feel that the school which has been conducted under the district sys- tenn reflects credit on those who have had to do with the management.
