oRcUTTvILLE SCHOOL VOTED.
Special Town Meeting Decides For New BuiIding-Matter Left to Com rnittee.

The attendance at the special town meeting Saturday afternoon at the town hall in Stafford Hollow was not es large as some previous town meet i1gs, but it was just interesting. The matter before the house was the building of a new school house in Or ruttville and the appropriation for the came.
 MT. D. o. Connen and c. B. Pin ney, members of the town committee explained the needs of the district and told what the probable cost of a build ing such as the district Ought to have would amount to.
 H. F. Cady made a motion that the sum of $2000 be appropriated for the new building and that the site be left to the town school committee.
 Mir. Plumb amended the motion leav- ing the matter of expenditure entirely in the hands of the school committee, and the amendment was passed. Mir. Plumb said, however. that he would be in favor of closing the Orcuttville school and transporting the children MT. Smith, chairman of the school board did not think 1t wise to at tempt to transport the pupils to the Springs school as that school Is all ready overcrowded. MT. Plumb thought if building was to be built. a good one should be put up and as he had implicit confidence in the committee he was satisfied to leave the entire matter in the hands of the commit tee,
 Mrs, Everett Perkins, the only wo- man present favored a new school house nearer the village than the present structure.
 The committee will get busy at once and from estimates already received the probab bis cost Of the new school house will be about $3.000. It will be one room building to accommodate about 40 pupils E. c. Pinney acted as chairman Of the meeting and Mar GUS F. Fisk was clerk.
