SECT. V. THE electors aforesaid residing within every hundred
shall meet on the third Monday in October after the first election of
Aldermen, at such place, within their hundred, as the said Aldermen
shall direct, notice thereof being previously given to them by such
person residing within the hundred as the said Aldermen shall require
who is hereby enjoined to obey such requisition, on pain of being
punished by amercement and imprisonment. The electors being so
assembled shall choose the most convenient place within their hundred
for building a school-house. If two or more places, having a greater
number of votes than any others, shall yet be equal between
themselves, the Aldermen, or such of them as are not of the same
hundred, on information thereof, shall decide between them. The said
Aldermen shall forthwith proceed to have a school-house built at the
said place, and shall see that the same be kept in repair, and, when
necessary, that it be rebuilt; but whenever they shall think
necessary that it be rebuilt, they shall give notice as before
directed, to the electors of the hundred to meet at the said
school-house, on such day as they shall appoint, to determine by
vote, in the manner before directed, whether it shall be rebuilt at
the same, or what other place in the hundred.
