 Blue Hills School Dispute
 At meeting of the representa-.
 tives of the Berlin school committee and the residents of the Blue Hills section last night for the purpose of airing the school troubles in that sec- ton a lively discussion took place.
 The representatives of the school committee were Pardon c. Hickey who was chairman of the meeting, Robert McKeon and Robert Graham who gave their opinions as to the test manner of properly satisfying the needs of the school children of the Blue Hill district.
 Mir. Hickey believed that an addi- ton to the building costing about $lO,000 or $12,000 would suffice. The people of the district seemed to be satisfied with one room addition so lcng as it would take care of the needs of the children. Many were decidedly opposed to the plan Of building a large addition which had at one time been proposed.
 The residents asked that the swamp be filled in and also were in favor of having a well dug to afford pure drinking water for the children. They also wanted two teachers of wide ex- perience hired.
 The opinion was expressed that the people of the district did not intend to have their children transferred out of the district to more central point. They are in favor of having their school so improved that such a plan will not be necessary.
 At the meeting the plan of build ing a new school was proposed. MT. Hickey said that the town could be bonded for a sum of $t5O,000 and that the new school house would probably cost in the neighborhood of s100,000. At this point, Jason Taylor, who it is understood is a representa- tive of the people of the Blue Hills section, jumped to his feet and ex- pressed his opinion that the town was already bonded very nearly to its limit | and that he thought that the idea was not very sound, to bond a town for | S150,000 when it is already carrying | IS large burden as most of the peo- pie feel it can carry. MT. Fonda also | ,poke and his thoughts seemed to run | n a similar vein to MT. Taylor's. At | he close of the meeting they ex- pressed themselves as unanimously | opposed to the expenditure of any chool house.
 MdnS OL the OlQ ana eApeTle0Ce0 chool force resigned during the past rear and it is serious problem to muster a practically new teaching orce and to have that force run in mooth cooperation.
 The school appropriation has rmped from approximately s23.o0o in s15 and 1s16 to approximately s73.- GO in 1922-2s.
