Adopting recommendations of the school board, the voters at a special town meeting last evening, after a lively debate in which E. A. Free- man, the chairman, was accused of using ‘‘steam roller” tactics, passed a resolution authorizing the erection of a one room portable building to be constructed at an expense not in excess of $800. Efforts to have a temporary arrangement made to ac- commodate the school children until such time as the actual needs of the town are more apparent were/turned down.. The voters also declined to listen to a proposition for the eree- tion of a four room addition to the Grammar school building, erected a few years ago, and by a close vote their action concurred with the school board. The ' meeting was enlivened by re- partee between S. P. Williams, John S. Larson and Chairman Freeman, rulings made by the later savoring of ‘“railroading,” according to the men who apenly disagreed with him. The chairman attempted to cut off debate on the amendment to the original resolution, , advancing the claim that it was futile to discuss it. His attitude was displeasing to some of the veoters and they were rather sharp in their criticism of it. Lack of interest in the proposition advanced by the school board and the humidity kept the attendance down to such an extent that less than thirty votes were cast on the first motion presented.

He declared that the purchase of a portable building is considered by the school board as superior to any of the above suggestions. ~ He es- timated that a building of the type desired could be ‘put in position for about $700. The building would be ' heated from the boiler in the Gram- mar school building and there will be no extraordinary expense for instal- ling equipment as the board proposed to purcHase a set of desks for one room anyway If the new building was erected the desks would be used for the extra rooms and should no additional accomodations be provided new desks would be purchased to re- place the old ones now in use.

Rogers introduced a.resolu- tion authorizing the school committee to purchase a portable building at a cost not in excess of §750. H. A, Castle offered an amendment making the appropriation not more than $800, Chairman Freeman immediately call- ed for a vote on the amendment. 8. P, Williams protested as he claimed the matter should first be open o discussion. John S Larson argued that the state law will not permit of the use of ‘a wooden bullding school purposes. Anyway he didn't think a portable building would be of any use and he introduced a reso- Tution for the erection of a four room addition to’the Grammar school building. The motion, however, was not seconded, 8. P. Willlams and John E, Lamb also attempted to discuss the proposi- tton but they were interrupted by Chairman Freeman, who insisted on having a vote taken. He character- ized debate on the amendment as foolish and despite protests from both Mr. Williams and Mr. Larson, he called for a vote. The amendment was then carried, 17 to 10, Mr. Willlams, discussing the reso- lution as amended, thought the school board had the wrong idea. He believed an expense of about $1,200 will be entailed by the purchase of the portable building. He considered it impossible to determine the needs of the town at this time and he thought two sessions in the school would solve the problem temporarily, He did not consider that the town was getting full value for the invest- ment in its schools and he thought the buildings should be used for longer periods each day. Members of the school committes could give no satisfactory answers. to questions as to how many children ,would have to be accomodated this fall or if the portable building Would satisfy the needs of the town for any specific period. They advanced the ! argument that a portable building could be erected anyway at an ex- pense that would not exceed the in- terest for a single year on the amount the town would have to lay out 'n building a substantial addition 1o the Grammar school house. Heénce | they did not believe there was a chance of suffering any financial loss by accepting the proposition. They had figured the problem from several angles and could arrive at no other conclusion. ‘When Mr. Williams again arose he inquired of the chalrman if he was in order. “You are now but you weren’t before,” Mr. Freeman replied, Mr. Williams took umbrage at what oy " he terms the chairman’s sarcasm, claiming it was entirely uncalled for.
