Stafford District School Meeting.
Disagreement as TO The proper
definition OF the word indefinitely
caused a wordy battle at the special
meeting OF the Stafford school dis
trict last evening between Alfred j.
Tails and Ashley L. Bishop. The dis
p1Ite came following a motion pre-
sented by Tails that the report OF
the building committee be accepted
and tabled indefinitely" Tails ex-
planned that he felt that there was
no necessity for either rev school
or an addition to the present one at
this time and that in the event such
a need made itself evident in the
future. another meeting could be
called TO again consider additional
facilities. Ashley Bishop, chairman
Of the district committee. and How
ard l.. Dutton. clerk. believed the
word Indefinitely meant 'Ad In
iiuitum.'
Their contention was backed
strongly by Kenneth johnson and it
was not until the word had been
looked UP in the dictionary that the
opponents Of Tails We're satisfied.
About this time, however. Tails in
disgust withdrew his motion but
later presented 4 motion that the re-
port be accepted and tabled for a
period OF six months. This settled
the argument TO the satisfaction OF
both factions and the motion was
carried.

man OF the meeting, with Howard
button as clerk. The report of Carl
