 After consideration for several months, the town school board agreed Monday evening that the school house at Wind | ham Center should be repaired but that owing to present costs of building and material, it would not be advisable now to erect a ne wstructure in that place. During the past few years sS5, 900 was raised by the town for the erection of new school building at that place, but | after specifications for constructing a new building had been received by the school board it was readily seen that any structure that would sNtsfy the res | idents of Windham Center, was out of the question owing to the cost of ma l terials. Plans had bee ndrawn for one story structure of brick, 79 by 50 feet. This construction would appear too much like mill and would hot meet the ap proval of the people. Additional taxa ton for a large amount woull not meet with favor from the people. Repairs on the old structure will cost from $3,000 to $4,000 and will last for for several years, this would be saving on the principal of $50,000 needed to erect a real school building as the interest on this amount in two years would more than pay the ex- pense of repairs.
