ton. The school board had annually preferred
its report for an appropriation lor new build
ing, and from motives. OF economy, accompanied
with desire TO build well, when they did build,
the city council annually postponed the enter
prise until more convenient season. An at
tempt TO find lot of ample size between Walnut
and Chatham streets proved unsuccessful, and
there were those who urged going a much
greater distance southwark. Hut this was
thought to be too much out OF the centre, and
Walnut street.-the old site-was finally agreed to
unanimously as the only wise and feasible
choice. Previous to any action by the city
council, petition bearing the signatures OF more
than one thousand Influential citizens and
fathers OF families, headed by eXMayor Rich
ardson, was laid before that body Urging iti-
mediate decision. The city council, nothing
10th to proceed, provi led the question of Local
ton was satisfactory, gave their committee on
education extraordinary powers. They direct
ed them to procure plans, and make the neces-
sary contracts, placing the whole question of
the architectural character OF the building and
its cost into their hands without further consid-
Grafton by the council. That committee con-
sisting of Mayor James B. Blake, aldermen AL
bert Tolman and George S. Barton, and cGun-
cilmen s. V. Stone, John S. Baldwin, A. B.
Couch and Nathaniel Paine, took counsel OF
the school board, Hon. p. Emory Aldrich and

given us the magnificent building which is
to be dedicated TO day. It stands d splendid
