E104 sey ‘te build an nddition to the pre-

sent school, The chairman, in outlin-
dig the object of the meeting wanted
‘a Dlank cheque from the rate payers to
go ahead with the building scheme. A
quite general disapproval was express-
ed, and ihexe especially when it Wits
Jearned that the government ‘only: con:
fributed twenty per cent of the cost ta

sich’ enterprises. There was 2 good
deal of conversation at the inmeeting, in
fact it is reported that at tlmes it was
quite lively. Borrowing money. and
increasing taxes is, not populrr at the
Finally a motion, was
‘moved by Mat. Myros that if the gov-
ernment would contribute 40 per cent
of the cost, and providing the balance
of the money could be borrowed at 6
per cent. the board would have author-
ity to borrow the balance on the credit
of the sehool district. This motion
carried. It is now up to the board of
school trustes to induce the government

to change its. policy, and to. find. some |

one with money to lend at, not more ,
than 6 per cent.
