The owner of the property at the northern village limits which had been selected by trustees as a suitable site for a new school, and on which expropriation proceed- ings had been started, appeared before the board asking for recon- sideration of the plan. The sub- ject was referred to a special committee. Another special committee was appointed, with Trustees Ed. But- lin and Mrs. Langstaff as its members, to study various pro- posals placed before the board re- garding protective insurance on pupils of the school.
