 Notwithstanding the high cost of building materials at tN1 present time, the town of Windham is going to building the much talked of new school building at Windham Center. This action was taken by the voters Of the town at the special town meet ing held at the town hall. Friday af- ternoon. There was much \, interest shown in the matter which is evi- denced by the number of votes cast at the meeting; good sized vote, as one of the officials said, when com pairing it with former special meetings held in this town, The meeting was called to order shortly after ? o'clock by Town Clerk Frank P. Fepton and upon his call for a moderator to be chosen, James M. Smith was nomi- mated by P. J. Danabey. The selec- ton was made unanimous. The town clerk then read the warning of the meeting, which was for the purpose of deciding if the voters would ratify by ballot or not the appropriation of S20,000 for the erection of new school building at Windham Center voted at the last town meeting. P ] Danahey made a motion that the polls be kept open from 2.15 to g D III. W. c. Norris immediately offered an amendment to the motion that the polls be kept open from 2.15 to } ? m. The amendment wes carried by a standing vote of 3S to II. Alfred 1 Abbe was chosen checker for tht mems list and Eugene Randall fol | the women's list. A. J. Greenslit wa! chosen ballot box tender for the meI and s. 4. Peckham for the women The ballot boxes were. then declared | open. At five o'clock the ballot boxe were declared closed and the vote l were counted, James Mustard an, Raymond L. Cummings having beel i appointed to count the votes cast b, the men and Chauncey McI'arlan' l and Matthew P. Healy for the wo men. The total number of votes cas
 was 2e6. Out of these. 187 vote
 "yes" and 75 voted mo-" giving a ma jority of los to the 'yes' voters. For ty-t three women voted at the meet ing and every one of them vote

 the officials in charge of the meetin
 that even though the ballot boxes re
 mained open until ?. m., the ins result would have been the same, al though there were of course, opin
 ions expressed to the contrary,
