WOMAN ON SCHOOL BOARD.
Annual Meeting makes Appropriations
Exceeding Last Year.

The annual school meeting was held
in the town hall Saturday afternoon
and was attended by less than the
usual number, a large majority of
whom were women.
F. w. Jeffords, clerk, opened the pro-
ceedings by reading the warrant, after
which Rev. F. II. Cole was chosen mod
orator. Mr.. Jctfords was unanimously
reelected clerk and c. +. Keyou was
likewise reelected treasurer.
Mrs. Mary +. Fisher was elected a
member of the board of education TO
succeed Harold c. Holland, receiving
LOG of the 100 votes cast
The reports of the various officers
were accepted as printed in the town
report, after which the following APP
preparations were made: $4,46l40 for
the support of the church in addition
to the 5000 required by law; $500
for the purchase of text books and
supplies; $1,100 for teaching music,
drawing, manual training and domes-
tic science; 5000 for paying the sal
aries of the members of the board of
education and other officers; $3.50 for
equipping the high and grammar
school buildings with electric lights;
5000 for medical inspection. The three
first named appropriations exceed last
years by about 81 $50, which is APP
proximately the amount Overdrawn dur
ing the past year, due to the increased
salaries and the higher cost of sup
