 On motion of Thomas J. Kelley, a vote was passed authorizing the se-. lectmen to borrow money from time to time as might be needed for cur rent expenses.
 There followed tbe: amount of the appropriation for schools, which was presented by H. c. 1athrop of the town school committee MT. Lathrop last year would be needed on account of two new teachers. one at the high school the other at Natehaug. and because of the new law obligfng Wind- ham to have a physician for the schools. in common with other towns was a deficit last year of $s,50O. The amount wanted this year would there- fore be s60, ,000 and figuring in the sS,50O deficit S64,000 should be appro- priated.
 Allowance for Sewer Work.
 Thomas J. Kelley asked if the board had allowed anything for the construc- tion of the Oak sewer connections, and MT Lathrop said they had not, as they had thought the town would pay for that. If the school committee had that to provide for, another two thousand should be added. He therefore moved for an appropriation of $66, 000 He
 
 of educating a pupil in the town schools was but $32.46, while for the state at large the figures were $s9. Chairman Taylor stated he was in i sympathy with keeping the schools up to standard but if the depreciation was figured on the buildings at 1 1-2 per cent. and the interest on the school bonds allowed for, .the per capita cost would be higher. He said it cost over l $I0 to take a pupil through one year 1 in the high school, and he thought ahe outlying towns pupils should pay what it cost; now they only paid $60 tuition a year apiece.
 School Appropriation. Mir. Kelley, himself a member of the school board, said in reply that the 1 advantages of the town from having a large number of pupils more than offset the slight amount they lost be- cause the tuition was not as large as l the expense so far as the out of -towr pupils were concerned. Better teachers could be obtained, and better courses given because of the size of the school. He paid compliment to Prin- l cipal E. A. Case, and stated that the standard of the school had been raised considerably since he had been iS charge.
