 ! X special town meeting will be
 he'd this evening at o'clock in the Town hall for the purpose of author izing the board Of selectmen to issue
 bonds to the amount of s70,000 to
 cover current expenses of the town in
 the erection and equipment of the
 rew school building now being built on Linden street The bond issue i was voted at special town meeting
 held in September. 1923. but the date 1. of issue was left 10 another town ! meeting. Progress on the school
 building has been rapid and the time
 is now at hand when the bonds must
 be issued to cover the expenses in- cured It is thought that there | will be no opposition to the matter as the action 10 be taken is more or 1 less a formality. It would be well 1 for the voters of the town, in the opinion of many here, if a large num-
 Der Of them would attend the meeting so that they would hear what has been done with regard to the school l i .xI,
 much argument last year. IL is eX-
 pected that the school committee will give an account Of the progress made so far.
