COMMITTEE SHO,,U LD
RIGHT.
START
Ought to Leave Selection of Site for
High School to Citizens Who
Pay For It.
To the Editor of The Sentinel: i
have been greatly interested iu the ac-
counts of the meeting of the high
school conuniltee and the proceedings
from little to limo of that hotly of gen-
tlcmon. What particularly impressed
me in tho account in your paper of the
recent meeting was the sound and
frank position of Richard ii. tloldcn itt
his contentious. tutti even though he
and Mr, Blanchard were in the minor-
ity, i believe that they were right and
hope that the rest of the committee
will see it in the some light.
First, it seems to tile that tho cotn~
ttiiltoo should haw known the cost
of tho site before they recommended
its purchase to tho town. The price
named for the lot is remarkably low.
which fit itself would indicate that
tin-re must In» much done iii the way of
grading. The committee should know
something definite about tho costs.
otherwise it seemed a strange thing
for tltcm to railroad it through without
those facts.
1 do not think that tho lCimcrest
properly' is a good site, its a high
School should be on the trolley line
for the tit-cotutntnlation of overyout‘~ at.
totaling It, It would certainly cost
much more to erect it on the liiil.
Then too. I did not like the position
of the. committee in regard to submit-
ting tho limiter to popular vote, as l
for one believe that the sovereign will
of the people can be best expressed at
first hand. This position would not
have been so iucompreliensiblo were
they able. to agree among themeslves.
I should ilk» tiie chance to vote on the
site and cannot say I tiittttk the gentle
then who have ilcpritted Inc of the
privilege.
