It might be well for your readers to know all about this ease. Tho trustees called a meeting to consider the propriety of building a new school house last January, and a motion was carried to build a new school house and pay for 10 10 three years, but no sum of money mentioned nor any rate of interest named. A second meet- ing was called in Marais to get authority to borrow the money, bat the majority of the ratepayers at the mond meeting were opposed to the propoeed The trustees then requested the Council to pass a by-law authorizing them to borrow the money in acieordanae with resolutions of the first meeting, The Connell refused. The trustees brought the Inspector to the Council meeting, who enured the Council that the resole. tion of the lint meeting of ratepayers was all that was required and that the Minister of Education said so. The Council still referred and wanted the restitution in aaoordanoe with motion 70 of the school act. Tim trustees then ap. plied to the High Court for a madames to compel the Council to pass the bylaw and the ease bee hung since the eleventh of August until the 18th of October, when it was dismissed. 113lueseftle.
