Judge b. +. Gatfacy, counsellor
for the town of Berlin. declared to-
day that the vote at the last town
meeting was Illegal and that the APP
propriation OF $4,000 for the build
ing of an addition 10 the grammar
schoo. in Kensngton had no legal
weight 1t will be necessary for the
school board to offer a new plan to
the building committee which IN
turn viii be presented at another
meeting. This settles the question
that has been in the minds Of many
toNnspcople as to the legal right OF
the town in the issuing of bonds as
authorized at the last meeting.
1t is thought that the school board
will offer a plan to the town in an
effort to arrive at a conclusion which
viii meet with the favor OF the
voters. According TO the popular
opinion, gained from the results OF
the last two town meetings it is
evident that there will be no pro-
yress made il the school board Of
1ers q proposition calling for the
spending OF $4,000 AS was recon-
mended at the previous meetings. 1T
will be necessary 10 plan Il building
that will be limited to about $780,
GOO to 100000. as the man obiec-
ton TO the previous plan is the
spending of much over that amount.
Up to the present time there has
been much discussion over the
school proposition and all the dis
cusslon has led 10 naught as far as
progress is concerned. At the first
town meeting a proposition was put
before the voters that a school be
erected at the cost OF $4,000 on
property bought last year. This was
defeated at ballot vote of about ?
to !. At this meeting a committee
was elected TO meet with the school
board and arrive at q plan thought
hest by a joint decision. The same
project was brought before the Not-
ers at q meeting held last Friday
night. Here the matter was defeat
cd by 4 floor vote and amendments
were made to the resolution where
by an addition to the present school
in kensingtOn would be erected at
the cost not 10 exceed S65, 900. This
met with the favor of the voters APP
parently. Following this decision
committee of three was elected TO
confer with school board and decide
on additions to he made TO the
school. BY his decision today, Judge
Gaftney declared that the manner Of
voting was illegal and the matter
now is back with the school board
exactly whore IT. was before the
series OF town meetings.
