 Decision to erect an eight room school house at an estimated cost of $S9,600 for the structure alone and to bond the district for s90, 600 was made last night at the special meeting of the Fifth school district in the East Bristol school
 Appointment of building com- mittee to take charge of the work was also voted with the following elected as members: I. Edward Pierce, Fred P. Fletcher, Joseph l.. Mcdonald. Fred s. Fletcher and C. V. Chapin, The first three names are the present district committee while Fred s. Fletcher is the dis trict treasurer. Mir. Chapin is em- ployed in the office of the Bristol Brass corporation.
 Purchase Of the two lots on which the temporary John r. Wade school stands was also decided upon the price of $l.OO0 made by the Bristol Brass corporation being found satisfactory.
 The real issue of the evening, which aroused a flood of discussion, was the appointment of the build ing committee. Allen Ptolemey started the ball rolling by mo- ton to discharge the old building committee with vote of thanks, after it's report had been made. Then the otherwise placid surface of the meeting began to seethe and writhe and in the twinkling of ar eye. nominations of the present school committee had been accepted and the election confirmed, leaving two places 10 be filled. Six names were proposed for the two vacancies end a grand muddlc ensued before Mr. Fletcher and Mr. Chapin emerged with the honors. Nomi- nations of II, s. Jarrett, Duane W. Beach, Frcd S. Fletcher. c. Y. Chapin. Ralph Nelson and Allen r. Dresser were made and the voting began. It was proposed 10 vote on two names at once and this only made confusion for the tellers, so that Chairman l. Edward Pierce 1 dCcreed that a new vote was neces- gary. How this vote was to he ! taken occupied the minds of the voters for a few minutes until 1t
 was agreed that the highest man would be declared elected and then the vote would be taken to secure the next highest. Fred $. Fletcher was elected by - votes and the next ballot saw MT. Chapin carried in by a comfortable margin.
 Someone asked for q checklist, but this was unneccs ssary as the 55 voters casting ballots were known to be legally qualified. The first ballot showed totals of 10 for Mr. Jarrett, for Mir Beach, 29 for MT. Fletcher. 12 for Mr. Chapin, ' for Mr. Nelson and 3 for Mir. Dresser. The second vote totalled Mir. Jarrett 10. Mr. Chapin IS, Mr. Nelson IS, Mr. Beach '. and Mir. Dresser 3.
 Hayden Explains Plans
 Architect Harold A. Hayden pre- sented elevations of the proposed new school and explained the costs and details of construction. He said that the simplest and least cx- nersive type of construction would be employed and that every move would be toward economy in its erection. H6 disagreed with the plans of several schools under way in this and neighboring cities, favoring q heavier construction, which the new East Bristol school would call for. The box type of plan was the decision of the archi- feet and the building committee and this type could be erected al price of 35 cents a cubic foot, he was sure, making the approximate total $S2,600 for the eight room building or S51.00O for a four room structure, He did not advise the fonr room building, saying that it was greater economy and fore sightodness to erect the larger building.
 The sewage question can be han died by the installation of pump system and connection with the city sewer. which he thought could be arranged for $3.400. the cost of in- stallation and the maintenance for the first year. The city would not object very strongly. he thought, 10 the connecting with the trunkline sewer, which runs near the school The new school will be erected near lh" present Pine street plant on land Which the district bought somo years ago, and which is about seven feet below tho level of the sewer trunklinc, which takes care
