MEETING OF THE SCHOOL oARD.-A special
meeting of the school board was held last eve
ming for the purpose of hearing and taking
action on the report of the committee on school
houses, in regard to the proposed location of a
new house on the corner of Summer and EX-
change streets. The report was signed 10y Mayor
Very, Rufus Woodward, Samuel V. Stone and
Jason Chaplin a majority of the committee, and
endorsed by A. P. Marble, superintendent of
schools. 1t enumerates among the advantages
of the proposed location that the lot is ample in
size, can be obtained cheap, and being corner
lot is accessible from two streets 1t will re-
quire very little grading, and is more central
than any other attanabe lot. The proposed
house is not designed to provide for the scholars
who now attend the school house on the COM
mon merely, but it will take scholars from the
Thomas street house. thus relieving the schools
on Belmont street.
The report also calls attention to the proba-
bility that the land between Mechanic and
Front streets will in a few years be cleared OF
dwelling houses and occupied by business
blocks. The county house land, nearly opposite
the proposed location, will soon be covered by
dwelling houses, and there viii he Il large sur
plus of children to be provided for. The report
discusses the other locations proposed, especially
the one at East Worcester A new school house
there would not relieve any considerable portion
Of the territory in need of accommodation. I'm
doubtedly, in year or two, there will be call
for new house in the vicinity of East WOrces-
Ter, to take the place of the large house there,
which is to be taken by the Boston and Albany
railroad. When this is done the wants of East
Worcester and Oak hill can be provided for by
a large house, SO situated as to accommodate
both. In closing the report recommends the
proposed site as the most central and desirable
location yet offered for the consideration OF the
board.
Mr.. Gale opposed the location, as in his opin-
ion il would not relieve the Belmont street house
nor furnish accommodations for pupils from
East Worcester who will soon be deprived of
school house by the action of the railroad com
pany. MIR. Whitcomb also opposed the report,
and thought Il school house at East Worcester
would be preferable to the one proposed. Brief
remarks were made by other gentlemen of the
board, after which the report was adopted, and
the meeting adjourned.
