 Interest in Meeting
 Final plans for the school opening will be announced at the September meeting of the board of education next Thursday at the high school.
 There is much interest in the meeting. A number of reports have been heard but none has been of- ficially confirmed. One report has it there will be one vacancy in the high school teaching staff, and other rumors are there will be a number of vacancies to be filled in the various schools.
 Competition for 8 teaching post here is usually keen, because of the number seeking such positions.
 Supt. of Schools Harold E. Chit tenden could not be reached this morning to confirm or deny reports concerning any vacancies.
 Work of repairing several of the school buildings is now being com- pleted. The schools open September 8. Registration in the grade schools is expected to be lower this year.
 Meeting Unlikely Now
 A special meeting of the borough board this week seems quite unlikely now. No notice has yet been given by the borough clerk.
 It Is reported the committee which is to consider the vending ordiance is having a difficult time arranging for a meeting. Action by the board of warden and burgesses on the changes in the vending or- diance would be the main purpose of the special session.
 Whether or not 1t will be held next week is not known. It seems doubtful however, in view of the fact the regular September meeting of the board will be held Tuesday, September 2.
 It is probable there will be a number of matters to be discussed at the September meeting. During the summer months, there has been a lull m outstanding activities by the board, routine matters having been taken up.
 Politics here has been at a stand still also. Whether or not there will be any political activities this fall is not known as the regular town election does not come until May 1888, because of the recently adopt ed biennial election plan here.
 Next January is expected to see a change in the town clerk post. Ray mond St. John. democrat, defeated Louis Schiller, Jr., republican, at the May election but it was discovered that MT. Schiller's term had until the first of January to go. At first MT. St. John indicated he might contest this but later decided to wait until January.
 Just what procedure will be fol- lowed if 8 new town clerk is elect ed in May, 1888 is not known.
