Page 90 April 1959 BENNINGTON SCHOOL DISTRICT ONE (cont.) it to the highest bidder by his paying the same." Damages were to be paid for before the privilege of borrowing could be extended again. Even the hour of return could be stated, "as early as 6 o'clock in the afternoon of each return day...each deliquent who shall neglect to return any book by him drawn on or before the time herein previously stated for the return of the same shall forfeit ana pay the librarian six cents for a neglect to return the same...and six cents for each ana every week thereafter..."Albert Hayden was named first librarian. Apparently, after 1837, the fireplace was abandoned or removed as wood furnished must be suitable for a stcve^ and in 1814.2, the trustees were authorizea to sell the old anairons at the best advantage. The earliest mention of outdoor plumbing is an appropriation of $j.00 "to pay Yeoman^ for Back House." (18144), Teachers' wages were a matter of concern during 1814.9-50, when the annual meeting "Voted that the teachers board around in the district board to be furnished by those who send to school aril voting for it who send to school except Wm. Ciapp." An addition to the school grounas was votea that same year through a purchase from Philo Durkee, while in 1851, it was decided to fence in the grounds. A special meeting in 1852 rejected a proposal to erect a new school by a vote of twenty to thirty-one: a similar proposal was defeated two years later but a committee was selectea to seek a new site. October l85i+, the district voted to purchase for $12u a half-acre from C. L. Hayden at a site north of the old ashery, but two weeks later the voters had changed their minds to erect a new building, costing f^OU, on the old site. John Loomis and Chandler Persons were named a building committee empowered to sell the old school. It appears that the new edifice was erected, and equipped with a new stove, chair and table, and $14.0 appropriated for painting.
