explanations.
Three Resolutions offered
Three resolutions were offered to
the meeting. each covering part of
the call for the meeting. The first
dealt with the erection and building
of the school itself and the appropri-
alton of a sum not to exceed $4,000
for. the work and the equipment of
seven of the nine rooms in the build
ing; the second authorized the select
men to borrow sum not to exceed
$4,000 on short term notes, and the
third appointed the above named
finance committee to recommend the /
issue of the bonds to cover the short
term notes. The first two were ca2-
ried by unanimous vote. The third
which read that the committee was TO
report to a special or regular town
meeting at or near the completion of
the school building was amended to
read that the report would be made at
q special or regular town meeting to
be held during the month of April,
1924. This also was carried, as
unanimously.
Mr.. Perry gave it as his opinion
that the building would be started
within six to eight weeks when all
the architects work would be finish
ed and the contracts let out for bids.
Signs In Center
Another resolution was introduced
IN order to get the sentiment of the
voters, coming from a committee of
he Plainville Chamber of Commerce
Ind the selectmen. 1t read that the
,electmen be authorized to expend a
sum not to exceed 500 for the erec
ion of signs in the center to direct
,utoists on the various routes to the
cities. Because this was
lot in the call for .the meeting, it
.ould not be voted on. but the senti-
nent expressed was that the select
men should not have to come before
he meeting to ask for permission to
10 that which is evidently badly
Ieeded in Plainville.

ommittee, explained that it will be
