NEWINGTON FIGHT OVER SCHOOL ENDS Factions Settle Dillerences and Peace Settles on Town At the third town mecting called for the purpose of discussing the new Junior High school in Newing- ton last evening, residents. of that town made a complete right about face on many matters, dropped all hostilities, and as a climax to what hud been a hectic situagion “buried the hatchet.” Not only did the meeting last night forego all personalities and an- imosities but it seemed as though everyone were anxious to please everyvone else, quite the direct op- posite to the two previous meetings. The two political factions which have been opposing cach other seemed to have merged mto one big body of “friendly neighbors.” The faction which seemed to be against every- thing on general principles was not in evidence, although to a large ex tent the same individuals were at the meeting. Previous Actions Rescinded Previous actions by other meet- ings. quite frankly acknowledged as foolish, were rescinded with explan- ations that amounted almost to apologies. Those who were respon- sible for motions at previous ses- sions, frankly conceded that they were uninformed. Criticisms of the new junior high school building and refusal to accept it because of minor difficultics, were waived and the attitude of the meeting was that the school depart- ment and building comimitiee were competent to handle their own prok lems. Motions that the architect, contractor and building committee be given a vote of confidence were voted down only on the grounds that there never had been any question of the confidence of the town of Newington in the integrity, honesty and ability of the men who have constructed the town's newest school house. The mecting finished its business, every actan with one or two excep- tions being unanimous, within an hour after Judge E. Stanley Welles had declared it open. The attendance was just two thirds the usual size. It being | an adjourncd meeting it was not necessary to elect a new moderator. | and Judge Welles took the chair. opening the meeting promptly at 5 o'clock.
