Once more the school question in
regard to junior high school was
settled at the special town meeting on
Tuesday afternoon, March goth, by
the majority Of 46 in favor of the
school. The money to purchase the
land for the building and for equip
ping the school has been given so the
townspeople are to be taxed for a
thirty-fve thousand dollar building.
This one step toward progressiveness
will mean much to the town and also
in time there will be more steps taken
toward bank, etc, which the town is
much in need Of. This special meeting
was of much interest and splendid
arguments de facto were brought be-
fore the voters. There were several
women present, perhaps fifty, TO hear
