building, but the cost would be considerable.
 Talk has been started of com bining the pupils of the Pequabuck and East Main street schools in the East Main street school. It would be necessary to erect an ad- dition to the school, to care for the pupils from the Pequabuck district should such action be taken.
 Such steps would be in keeping with the board of education's move to consolidate the schools. Should an effort be made to consolidate the East Main street and Pequa- buck school, 1t is thought that the parents in Pequabuck would oppose 1t. At the present time the pupils in the Terryville high school are crowded and 1t will be but mat ter of time before it will be neces- sary to erect a new high school building. Pupils at the present time are attending school just during their recitation periods. which forces the pupil to do all of their studies at home.

cussion centered about the right Of
Minnesota and Wisconsin growers to

The question involved was one Of
legality Of the bylaws under which
the directors were elected. At the
last session Of the state legislature
laws governing cooperative market
ing organizations were changed, pro-
hibiting election Of officers or direc-
tors by proxy or by mail. Bylaws Of
the association call for election OF d.
rectors by mail and the present mem
bers were elected that way. They
hold over for another year.
AS they were elected before the

ruled the present directors were nam.
