NO MORE HIGH SCHOOL? The voters of the village, at the spe¬ cial meeting Friday evening, seemed to be very much opposed to any High School facilities for the Village of Freeport. We do not want those of our readers who are not acquainted with conditions, however, to believe that this is a fact. The people were opposed very much to the propositions of fire protection in any eity or village submitted, and for that reason, I really in New York State with the exception ; believe voted more positively against] of New York and BufTalo, which have i the question of considering further! separate fire marshall's departments.

The meeting called by the Board of Eklucation Friday evening to again con« sider the question of a High School Building to be located on Randall Ave¬ nue, to cost, with the site, $137,000, resulted in a very emphatic negative vote on thc proposition submitted by the Board of Education.
The meeting was called to order by the clerk of the Board, Francis C. Morse, at the appointed time, 7:30 o'clock, and Hiram R. Smith was un¬ animously selected as chairman
The call for the meeting was read and J. Huyler Ellison and John D. Gunning were appointed tellers.
The attendance at this time waa small, and the people were just begin¬ ning to come in, so a motion was made to take a recess until 8:15, when the chairman again ealled the meeting to order.
William P. Jones was the first speaker. He said he wanted to know what the meeting had been called for, and said that after the emphatic pro¬ test at the previous meetinij on the question it was an insult to the people of Freport to call them out to vote again on the same proposition.
Charle.s G. Hill said the Board of Education had the affirmative side and they should be heard from flrst, and presi-nt their reasons for calling this sn-ond meeting.
Pre.sident Johnson was called for by several in the audience. He said he would not t;ike up the time of the meeting. He thanked tht-m for the eourtesy they had showed him at the last meeting and said that the floor WHS theirs this time. A statement ' WHS read from the Boanl of Education saying that the need for an additional High School facilities still existed, and the Board had been unable to find any other site that they consiiiered satis¬ factory, so they A'l'ie a^jhin presenting

The Board thought the necessity for more room was being more largely rec¬ ognized and therefore it seemed proper to Hgain submit the question for the consideration of the voters.

Another gentleman, who did not give his name, wanted to know if there would be another meeting called after the vote was taken for this evening. The gentleman also wanted to know where the meeting was advertised, in which paper and evidently did not read his local papers as he was not aware of the time for the meeting, and did not know that the call had been pub¬ lished although it was published, aa the law requires it, in both papers in the village.
The vote was then jtaken upon tbe question of appropriating $12,000 for a site.
While the vote was being taken Mr. Smith, the chairman, said that thia waa a representative gathering of the citizena of the district, and there waa no reason why the matter of school affairs should not be thoroughly dis¬ cussed by those present, and something done to relieve the present crowded oonditiona which it was recognized by all were in need of some attention.

One of my readers asked my advice, as follows: 286 to 33 The meeting called by the Board of Eklucation Friday evening to again con« sider the question of a High School Building to be located on Randall Ave¬ nue, to cost, with the site, $137,000, resulted in a very emphatic negative vote on thc proposition submitted by the Board of Education. The meeting was called to order by the clerk of the Board, Francis C. Morse, at the appointed time, 7:30 o'clock, and Hiram R. Smith was un¬ animously selected as chairman The call for the meeting was read and J. Huyler Ellison and John D. Gunning were appointed tellers. The attendance at this time waa small, and the people were just begin¬ ning to come in, so a motion was made to take a recess until 8:15, when the chairman again ealled the meeting to order. William P. Jones was the first speaker. He said he wanted to know what the meeting had been called for, and said that after the emphatic pro¬ test at the previous meetinij on the question it was an insult to the people of Freport to call them out to vote again on the same proposition. Charle.s G. Hill said the Board of Education had the affirmative side and they should be heard from flrst, and presi-nt their reasons for calling this sn-ond meeting. Pre.sident Johnson was called for by several in the audience. He said he would not t;ike up the time of the meeting. He thanked tht-m for the eourtesy they had showed him at the last meeting and said that the floor WHS theirs this time.
