STAMFORD

After a Iengthy discussion on the question Of new school sites at tho town meeting last evening, It was I finally determined by a vote of 1l3 10 | 90 to abide by the decision or the last meeting whereby it wa@ voted to place a new four room school building on tba Ion5nn property on Nichols ave- | me The meeting of last evening was called for the purpose or zconslo- erfne the advtsabif1ty Of reSclnoihg this action and selecting a site TOT the new school house on Broadbrloge avg mic or in that vicinity. The reason for- +llixs was that many thought the London property to be in too close proximity to the present school pullo- tug on North avenue whereas a scnooI placed on Broadbridge avenue Wouo | be more in the center of the d1SulcI according to population BroadbIadge avenue and vicinity. it was thought, was & rapidly growing section W1In many school children to provide TOT | and for them to walk to Nichols ave nue was just as bad as for them 70 go as far as North avenue HOW ever, in spite of all these arguments, those in favor of Nichols avenue had their way and the school will be built on the London property which Is 10 be purchased by the town TOT the sum of $3O00. Work on the school

 WEATOGUE MEETING.
 Although announcements were sent to all the members of the Weatogue Country club giving notice of the an n1lal meeting held last evening, very few were present to help decide the many important matters brought be- fore the meeting. Possibly the fact  kept many away. After the reports of the secretary and treasurer were read and accepted, the officers for the coming year were nominated and Vot- cd upon The same officers as last year were suggested and were elected by a unanimous Svote. They are: President; J. M. Otis; vice-president. W. H Hart; secretary. Howard Cur tis Jr: treasurer, B. 1T. Judson, and the members of the several commit tees Rev. E. e. Carpenter submitted report of the golf comnittee and made several suggestions as to the iInprov ovement of the course. A re- port of the tennis committee was also made and the question of ahuildang two new courts arose This of course meant quite a, little money to be spent and several. arguments were present. ed Last year there were many ten his enthllsiasts as a result of whicl the, courts were in great demand for which reason the laying out of two new courts was asked. There Is. however, a. debt of about $2, 900 still to be paid for the club and several thought that this should receive con sideration before many new improve ments were installed.
 The proposed method of raising the money for the new courts was to in crease the dues, making them $10. $15 and $26 instead of $S. $15 and $f7 for men, women and family member- ships Some, however, seemed to think that no action should be taken on this Question unless all had a chance to express their opinion so that after some discussion it was voted to ad- journ until Tuesday, April 14th, when the business will be resumed and by which time every member will have been notified of the meeting. All are urged to be present and express their 1 opinion concerning the increase in dues, also the many other very inn portant matters which will be again discussed. /s1
