BOARD APPROVES NEW BOND ISSUE Only 25 in Attendance When $670,000-Ttem Is Passed Mayor Paonessa presided for the first time last night at a session of the city meeting board, held in the auditorium of the Central Junior High school when action was taken on the recommendations of the com- mon council to rescind action taken several months ago to ue school bonds of $400,000 and include that amount in a new $570,000, school bond issue. Small Attendance. The meeting attended by only 25 members. Martin J. Kelley op- posed an extension of the trade educa- tion system in vogue classing the schools as “sweat shops.” William F. I"oy felt that there should be a de- crease in the tax-rate and unless there is action to that end, he felt the property owners would be unable to lower their rents.

Rescind Yssue, It was therefore voted to the previous issue of $400,000° and make a new issue of $570,000. Mr. Kelley and Mr. Roy voted against the new issue. Considerable discussion was brought forward in regards to giotifying the individual members of the board of meetings and subjects to be brought forward. City Clerk Thompson ex- plained that the law does not require a notice for such individual person, but after a talk with the mayor, de- cided to send some form of notice. That is the reason a newspaper con- taining the notice of the meeting was forwarded to each member. On mo- tion of Mr. Kehoe, it was voted %) send notices of meetings to each in- dividual member hereafter, at least five days before the meeting.
