The rcport was as follows E To the Elcctors of the South Norwalk Union School Districts. E The attendance ill the four schools of the district has been about the same as it was during the preceding year. The Full term opened with over 1700 pupils at school. There vl'as. dur-l lug the winter months n considerablcE falling off. owing to the prevalence of several diseases among the children, E so that the attendance fell to 1500. in the spring. honev.er ' there was the usual gain. and in the current month} the attendance is again over 1700 TheE total enrollment of different'pupils has. been over 2000. E The number of teachers in the dis-E trict in tile fall was «15, including the superintendent and the assistant sup-‘ crintcndcnt.

Withi it teachers. including the superinten-E dent. the district has been teaching asl many pupils as the other distl‘lctaE have taught with 05 teachers and sev- E cral principals the total cost of theE other districts being 15 per cent birth-E er than in this distlict. The eccnomyE in this district has been due to larger: school houses and to giving lar'Ig-el classes to the teachers, and it has' timed the town aevelal thousand dol- ' hire a year. i E The close of the school yenl iiudsE about 75 pupils likely to he graduated front the two eighth grade clusses,E nearly all of whom will next fllll at tend the Town High School.

The school properties have been in the care of three Janitors, of whom one, Seth Remington. died after 16 years of faithful service at the age of 74. Since his death the position has been filled satisfactorily. The buildings and grounds have all been well cared for and the importance of securing competent janitors is at- tested by the fact that the new jan— itor at the Hitachi ISchool last year reduced the coal consumption by so tons less than was used on an avers” in the years preceding his appoint- ment; and the Lincoln School has been warmer and more commuhio than it ever was baforel'hi stun. was its-w cit-‘02s- on. the terms onus-la ct 'thc inade- quate hosting capacity of tits Unccln plant has" enmity ceased 51'th ”out the 'whiter collect has been habit every day in every room of the disc trict. . . l . lag the past year has been very sails. l factory. minister. and had there been given a" 0'4 . desks. ilar to that placed around the FrankiillE school lot last year.

Dr. Bherer asked how much/310w mill tax would raise and was informed in 1-“. A Tollca that it would bring in about 815.000. Dr. Sharer thought that one-mill tax would raise all the money that “ would be necessary to carry on the district during the coming year under the consolidation system. He claimed that all but would be incumbent upon the district would be to pair '01! the debt it was his understanding that the town assumed all other obliga- tlons. The one mill tax will 'enrlbié the 33%? the debt and as the town boat mills the reduction of the district debt from two to one will will even mptgers up somewhat. Dr. Shemr moved an amendment to . McMahon took the floor and said rhut‘bresuming the schools had consolidated. a one mill tax $9 ample and sufficient to carry on the year. but, if it were found hdt ls~‘ trlcis had not been consolidated, the Union district would find itself cm» barrnseed unless the two m'lll tcilficre laid. He said that at any future uf'eet- lng the tax of two lnllls could be abat- ed or reduced and he held that it would be safer to provide for the two , ~ . 0 mill tax at this time. Dr. 180000? asked Mr. McMahon if. were it found that the-E additional tax ' wiis not necessary be (Mr: McMahon) . would cult a meeting of the district to _ reduce it. Mr. McMahon responded that. he would consider it the duty of tho dil- trict committee to do so. booths“ the event the committee neglected cltlseus themselves, if twenty' would sign a petition calling for the nine. James Paul said that he un'dii‘iliood that the town would have to buy the . * Droptrty of the district in the consolidation was legal. full. 000 the amount "calm town would in! till-dart 1.00. .sary to meet the current expenses for 1 been raised and ser‘ious doubts exist or- ‘ lticument has increased the tax to ten , argument that the tax could be reduc- ed at any future district meeting, the same ll‘ulzmenl would apply to his amendment and any future districtE meeting could increase the tax, if it were found that this course was nccv sary. Mr MCMahon informed Dr Sherer that if an additional tax were laid, it would be in the nature of a spelslal tax and would require two collections. He also claimed that the consolidation. vote was questionable. ' ' Dr.- Sherer claimed that under the ruling of the town counsel the district: would be forced to pay off its own debts. Mr. Paul claimed that this would melt! no material difference as the town would be forced to buy the prop- Eerty at the value set down by apprais- ore. Dr Sharer stated that that was yet to be determined Dr. Sherer's amendment providing for a one mill tax was then put to vote and ‘lost. Mr. McMahon's original mo- tlou providing for a two mill tax was put to vote and carried. James Paul presented a resolution authorizing and directing the dis-2 trict committee. to borrow on the credit of the district the amount of $4.500 or so much as may be neces- the ensuing year and to give notes for the some. The resolution was adopt- ed. Charles Smith offered the following resolution: Whereas, various questions have as to whether the necessary steps have been taken to legally consoll~ date the schools of the Town of No. walk. and ii. is of vital importance to this district that said doubts be dis- solved and such questions be proper- ly answered; Therefore. Resolved. that the dis- trict committee be, and they hereby are authorized, empowered and in- structed to obtain legal advice as to whether said schools, including this district. have been consolidated and. If deemed advisable by them after being so advised, to test the question of the legality of the consolidation of said schoOls in the courts; and, Resolved. further. that the sum of 3500, or so much thereof as may be necessary. «be and the same. is hereby appropriated for the use of the com- mittee in employing counsel for the purpose aforesaid and for court 9:- penses and other costs and charges connected therewith.
