§ 169. Renewal of warrant.-The trustee may, by one or more renewals, extend the time for the return of the warrant for an

aggregate additional period of not more than sixty days. An

extension of the warrant does not affect the bond given by the collector and his sureties.

[Based upon Con. School Law, tit. VII, § 83, but mostly new. The present law permits a trustee to renew the warrant once, but a further renewal must be with the consent of the supervisor of the town in which the schoolhouse is situated. We propose to permit the trustee to renew the warrant at any time on his own authority, without the consent of any other officer, but he must fix the time within which it must be returned, which must not be more than one hundred and twenty days from the date of the original warrant.
