lehman reeve daniels stated that the only way in which council could hold up such expenditures would be to completely stop residential subdividing and stop the town from growing at all however it was believed that there were sufficient vacant lots left in town if built on to fill the new school plus the hundred or more who would be moved out of the old school which is terribly overcrowded all council members agreed that the position of the public school was critical and it was de cided to ask the school board to meet with council this thurs day afternoon at 1 oclock help for relief a

sented at the forthcoming may ors and reeves convention the definite text of the resolu tion to be presented was not given for council members ag reed that the matter of sons and daughters voting as in the town ships was unsatisfactory but that the text of the request as presented was too broad it was pointed out that some person who came to town for only a short time to work could influ ence an
