 Andrews Discusses Building
 District Chairman Howard Ans drews gained the floor after Mir. Hayes and spoke on the erection of a new school, saying that he thought $5,O00 ample to erect a suitable building. He was nearly drowned out by Mrs. D. Y. Clark and Joseph Dube, both of whom had other Ideas. Mr. Dube asked for the floor and was refused by Chair man Hare. "Is he going to talk all night?" asked Mr. Dube as he sat down.
 A wordy duel between Mrs. D. Y. Clark and MT. Andrews began, be- ing interrupted by David Breault, who shouted that the meeting was out of order. "Mr. Andrews has the floor and no one has the right to take 1t. I'm chairman here" de- clared Chairman Hare with thump of his crutch, which brought order at once.
 The Voting Starts It was decided to vote on the questions of the meeting and here hubbub arose for time. Mrs. Clark had several people in mind, who, she thought, had not the right to vote and closed her remarks of warning to them on the voting i question by saying that if they vot- ed, they'd be arrested in the morning." The voting started and several were challenged but nothing came of the challenges and the first motion to have the board of educa- tion as an arbitration board was lost. The motion to secure bids followed soon afterward, being car- ried by vote of 2S to IS. The old building committee was con- tinued and vote to adjourn was in order. This was protested and a l hlibuster started but adjournment was finally taken until such time as the matters. presented to the build- ing committee may be taken up for report.

 likely that the fourth estate would
 be excluded from future meetings of the districts as Hast week, a paper said that the people of the Twelfth district did not know enough to conduct their own meetings" When asked as to the paper, he could not i substantiate his remark.
 ! William Odlum was another mem- Der of the district, who objected 10 the presence of the newspapermen. informing one member of the press that the newspapermen were there only to stir up trouble"
