Several plans were suggested as a means of reducing the present un- wieldly size of the Flesherton charge with its four appointments and 300 families scattered over too wide a territory. One plan would link Priceville with Salem and Hopeville. Dundalk with Bethel and Inistioge. Flesherton with Eugenia and Proton. A second plan would link together Flesherton. Eu- genia and Priceville. .\ third would re-establish the former student field of Inistioge, Proton and Hopeville. reducing the Flesherton charge to Flesherton and Eugenia.
