 At a meeting Of the voters Of the twelfth school district on Fall mountain last evening, authority was granted the district committee to borrow the sum of $S,0OO to pay for the new school building now in process of construction and to sign such negotiable notes as are re- 4uirod. Clyde L. Finnemore. who Was elected chairman of the dis trlct committee several months ago to succeed Howard Andrews, pre- sided.
 Even the oldest residents of the district Were surprised at the suav- lty with which the meeting was con- ducted, No opposition was voiced except by MT. Andrews. the deposed chairman. and he was informed by one of his former followers that the present antagonism was due to his tMr. Andrcw's) failure to secure the contract to build the new school. When the vote was taken. but two voted against the plan to borrow the necessary funds.
 For years the Fall mountain dis trlct has been known as the Fight ing Twelfth" because of the many wordy battles staged by the two factions. This attitude on the part of the voters has resulted in serious handicaps to the children, who in the present schoolhouse have no more facilities than their grand l parents had. With the election of l Mir. Finncmore as chairman, the un- dercurrent of dissension has dimin- lshed and as q result, a new school house, modern in every respect, will be ready for occupancy within the next few months.
