Alfred Tallis. who lead, the faction opposed to burdening the district with the additional ex- ponso of increased room. asked that the minutes Of the previous meet ing be read. This was refused and an effort was made to call the meeting to order. but with little or no suc- cess. Members of the opposing fac lions started 10 indulge in person. alities with the result that fist fights Were narrowly averted. Some Of the voters attending were even denied permission 10 use the chairs. because one member of the com miitee insisted that they were his own personal property.
 After a period of wranGling, it was finally found necessary 10 adjourn the meeting until date. which is to be announced later.
