Last Monday was school mooting day in Medford and, goo whtlllktus, what a crowd there was In attendance more people than one school room could hold, Inoludlng hallway and stairs. Tha mooting was callod to orJer by theohalrman of tho directors, Mr, N. B. Bradbury. Clerk Garl T. Jonea was called upon (or his annual report which was read aud upon motion was ap proved. The election of one tohovd director wai thtui In order aud W. S. Crowell and G. L. Webb wore placed In nomi nation. Ballots were prepared by W. T. York and W. H. Meeker, who were appointed tellers. There were 163 vote oast of which Mr. Crowell received 63, Mr. Webb 66, scattering and blank 3. Mr. Crowell declared elected. Garl T. Jones was re-elecwd olerk by acclama tion. The directors asked for an expression of opinion upon three points. One of these was as to the advisability ot pur chasing a small tract of land adjoining the school properly on the south, for additional play ground for the pupils of the school. The price asked for this property Is $225, of which amount J. R. Krford, who is agent for the property, agreed to donate his commission ot $10. The directors were instructed to act their pleasure in tha matter. The matter of the town's assessment ot $150 for sewerage across school grounds was also talked ot and tho directors were advised to aot their pleasure. The notes for $19,000 become due next De cember and the board was directed to call a meeting of the voters at least thirty days prior to that time for the purpose of devising means for meeting the payment ot these notes. The pre sumption being that money can be se cured to take them up at a less rate ot interest than seven per cent, the in terest now being paid . It was thought by some that a better way would be to issue school warrants for the full amount. These would bear but six per oent interest and could In all proba bility be sold at a premium. One of the redeeming features as regards war rants is that they can be taken up at any time, and they are not taxable. As will be seen by the following re port of Clerk Jones the Indebtedness of the school district has been reduced 12520.37 during the past year. This is a splendid showing and the dlreoton, Messrs. D. T. Lawton, J. R. Wilson and N. B. Bradbury, are entitled to commendatlo i from the taxpayers for the economical manner in which they have conducted the affairs of the dis trict.
