All disputes as to validity of proceedings to be submitted to the judgment of the Board of the district. In case of failure of honseholders to fulfil regulations as to annual election of Committee, the Board may fix another day for such proceedings ; and if householders again neglect such duty, the Board, at its discretion, to appoint a Commissioner, or Commissioners, to exercise all the powers and duties of an ordinary School Committee.
