mar school in kensington.' This
resolution was also carried. The

mar school in kcnsington.' This
resolution was also carried. The
meeting then adjourned.
NO appropriation or levy of any
money for the erection, construction
or equipping, or for the addition to
4 school was made at this meeting
THE word authorize is not
SYNONYMOUS or equivalent to 'appro-
pirate, or to levy The call for
the meeting is that a sum of money
shall be appropriated for the
building, erecting and equlpping of
school. The meeting therefore
failed to appropriate or to levy any
sum of money for a school and
hence the original motion as amend
Cd did not make an appropriation
OF, or levy any money for the cree
ton of Il school building, or for
an addition to a school building in
keHsington, and hence this vote is
insufficient and illegal.
The further vote that the Sos
600 to be spent as an addition to the
present grammar school in kCnSing-
ton IS outsiG" of the can for the
meeting. This motion was therefore
out of order.
IF the School Committee and the
Board of EcleCtmen intended that
the purpose of the meeting WAS TO
Huiid am addition to the present
grammar school in kensington, the
call should have contained such a
provision. But inasmuch as this mo-
non WAS not contained in the call
for the meeting, the resolution and
vote was Illegal.
or course the town meeting. i'm
properly assumed that an appropria-
ton OF $4,000 had been made and
therefore passed a resolution author
'zing the issuance of bonds by the
S"Iectmen for that amount to pay
Tor the addition to the school build
ing.
'lnasmuch as there was no legal
vote appropriatlng the sum of sos
opo Tor the construction of a school,
or Tor the addition of the school no
debt was created and hence there
was no valid vote authorizing the
issuance OF bonds.
therefore, the acts and votes of
the town meeting are Illegal and
void
1T viii therefore be necessary to
ISSUE a new call for the town meet
ing to act upon the matter of school
accommodations in the town of

Nonohan Will BE offered Job of

Council to Install Ofliccrs-Othcr
Items of Interest.

While the property lists Of prac-
tically every school district in the
city will show an increase over last
year, that OF the fifth school dis
trict in East Bristol will show a
decrease of $97.559. This years
list shows the total valuation of
property of the district as 1926,
GIT, compared with $3.333,l76 for
the previous year
The decrease this year is brought
about by a correction made in the
district lines by City Engineer
Carleton W Buell.. For the past 25
years the fifth district has been re-
ceiying a portion of the taxes paid
by J. H. Sessions & Son and other
property on Riverside avenue where
as such taxes should have been paid
to the first school district. It is now
understood thatthe first district may
take steps to collect such taxes from
the East Bristol district.
Tho dividing line between the two
districts, as indicated on maps pre-
pared by the city engineer, runs be-
tween the small brook crossing
Blakesley street to the center Of
East road. This reestablishment of
the district lines also mean that all
property in the Roger Newell tract,
between Relridge road and Lee road,
will be subject TO a school tax Of the
fifth district instead Of the first.
The section in question is now being
developed and all of the building
sites have been purchased by prom
inent business men because of the
restrictions contained IN each deed.

The condition OF the back roads
is reported as fair. The roads have
been in very poor condition during
the last few weeks as the frost has

hope of passing through many roads
with a car and in many instances
people had TO leave their cars and
walk to their homes. Many resi-
dents have had to place loads of
stone in their driveways this spring.

Too Much Flour
VIII Result i'm
Cracks on Cake

If the cake cracks on top, there Is
too much -four in it. Perhaps the
amount called for in the recipe is
correct, but you have neglected to
sift it enough times to make it light
and fluffy; or, in measuring 1t, you
have packed it down in the cup in
stead of placing it in lightly.
Another reason why cakes will
crack on top is incorrect oven
temperatures. If the oven is too
hot when the cake is put in, the top
will brown before it has risen suffli-
Gently and in attempting to rise,
the batter will break through the
crust formed, making an unslghtIy
loaf.
Too slow an oven will cause the
cake to rise over the sides OF the
pan and be of coarse texture.
A cake may be soggy because it
has not been baked long enough,
or because it has too much sugar.
A cake seems done when you can
hear it Sizzling" and when it
springs back in place when touched
lightly with the finger tip.
Very crumbly cake has too much
shortening.
If a pound cake has very coarse
texture, it probably is because it has
been made with granulated sugar.
Best results can be obtained by
using powdered or confectioner's
sugar.
Too hot an oven and uneven
spreading in pans will cause loaf
cake to rise uneVenly.

Safe Desserts

It is hardly fair to say to
Buddy or little Mary, you
can't have any of our dessert,
tonight, for it isn't good for
you" There are certain des-
serts which adults can handle
nicely that are too rich for a
child's digestion. The busy
mother can not take the time
to always have two desserts
ready. The solution to the
problem is make dessert that
children and grown-ups alike
can eat and enjoy.

help you in this matter. If
you have children in your fam
lily, you will find her recipes

MARSHMALLOWS ON
WATERS ARE TASTY

When unexpected company drops
in during the afternoon or evening,
and you wish to serve simple re-
frestments, try this:
Place n1arshmallows on top Of
vanilla waters, and put them in a
hot oven. The Inarshmallows puff
up and brown delicately, and the
lite cakes thus made are delicious.
They must be served at once. Both
narshmallows and vanilla waters,
packaged, may be kept on hand at
all times.
Another goody which is popular
with the children. satisfying their
appetite for sweets in a wholesome
way. is made as follows:
A few spoonfuls Of evaporated
milk, mixed with enough confec-
toners sugar to tnicken; may be
favored. colored if desired, and
spread between graham crackers. 1t
is quickly prepared and good.
