The meeting may determine the size of the house, the material to be used in its construction, and vote a tax therefor. If such a tax is not voted within thirty days after the day fixed for the meeting, the trustee shall proceed by contract or otherwise to build a schoolhouse in accordance with the order of the commis

sioner, and levy a tax therefor. Any district meeting may increase the amount estimated by the commissioner.
