! The vote on Friday was so decided
that the school board is not in any
doubt as to what the wishes Of the
Peep .e are in regard to improving the
West Side school property. That the
property needs to be improved goes
without saying. The present building

needs of$lthe district. but with the
present high taxes, sufficient aggita-
ton was worked up against the prop

out of the changes which were sug.
gcsted by soma Of the tax payers Of,
the West Side, who laid the matter;
before the school board some time
ago The board was Of the unanimous
opinion That the school house on the
West should be radically changed ,or

At SEA IN OPEN BOAT
Up 100 Miles OF shors-1attls With
Waves Twenty-Four Hours After
Vessel Founders.

Boston, Jan. 15.-The foundering Of
the Bath schooner Grace A. Martin.
thirty miles south Of Matinious Rock
yesterday. and the rescue Of her crew
Of seventeen men from an open boat
100 miles off shore by the steamer A.
w. Perry. was reported by wireless to-
day.
For nearly twenty four hours the
crew in an open boat nearly 100 miles
of shore battled against death under
the bitterest weather conditions. The
distance from the point where the
steamer foundered to the steamer route
is fifty miles, which represents the
drift Of the Martins long boat from
sunrise yesterday till dawn today. when
the castaways were picked up.
The Grace Martin. heavily laden with
coal, sailed from Norfolk for Portland,
Jan. 4. She was caught in the westerly
gale OF Cape Cod on Monday. but her
skipper decided to continue across the
Maine shore instead Of seeking shelter
at Provincetown. The vessel was driven
further on shore on Tuesday. Two days
Of hard pounding opened up her seams
and she filled and sank. The crew had
sufficient warning to take some food
and heavy clothing.
The Grace A. Martin was a i've
masted vessel built In Bath in 1904, and
registered $500 tons net. ..
