CAUST|C REPARTEE AT TOWN MEETING Criticism and Defense of ShoVal- tsr's Report Offered
  WOMAN DEFENDS HUSBAND
Triangle officials Explain-kenton ' Hiil Club Makes Trip-Weddfng This Morning in Kensington-Le- zion Meeting Tomorrow.

The reports of the town officials were accepted at the annual town meeting in the town hall last eve ming. as were the reports Of the su- nerintendent of schools and the finan- cial secretary of the school commit tee after a great deal Of discussion on the part of a few of the voters present. Harding street was accepted as a town street, after many ques- lions were asked and the resolution was adopted to lay town tax. Ine report of the finance board on the budget for the coming year was reao and accepted. .,,
 The meeting went smoothly until the report of the school committee came up. Then Frank l.. Wilcox asked if in accepting the report the town would accept any recommehua- tions for new buildings.
 Miss Mary Griswold, superintendent of the schools, replied that there are no recommendations to be made tonight"
 The moderator then asked if there were any members of the board Tn the hall, 80 that they could explain whether or not there were any rec concentrations included in the report. When he found that no members rose to his question, he criticised the board for the seeming lack of interest that they take in town affairs, 10 which Miss Adele Murray, member of the new school board elected October 1, replied that there has been a. change in personnel since the report was made. F. N. Bacon, a member of the outgoing board, stated emphatically that there was nothing of the kind in the report.
 The next question to come up con- cering the report of the superintend- ent was, "Did the board accept the report before it was sent up for the approval of the town ?' Miss Gris- wold declared that to her Knowledge the report had not been submitted to the board, at least not since the third of August, when she became superin- tendent, in place of Mir. Showalter, over whose annual report the fuss was. r. N. Bacon stated that MT. Showalter did not present the report to the school board.
 Hickey Suggests Investigation
 Pardon c. Hickey then rose and, as a member of the outgoing schooi board, recommended that something be done to get at the facts of the school situation, that the meeting ap- point a committee to investigate and find out the truth or that some other means be taken, to which the chair man: of the meeting. William H. Gib- ney, replied that all resolutions must be made in writing.
 Getting back to the report of the school committee, Miss Murray stated that the report was merely the ex- pression of the views of an individual and it was not strictly legal to pass on if. Major Wilcox stated that he would recommend that the report without any binding power. be ac- cepted, adding that there was no time like the present in which to discuss if
 Mir. Gibneg stated that the report was presumably merely the report of
