no object about town could have been Sc
lcctcd that better deserved repair than the
Public School Building At any rate, IT
shows, by It's vastly improved appearance
TINT refincd and energetic interest has
secured funds and superintended the
work. Outside, the shutters, window Ia
cings, mouldngs, columns, etc, have been
freshly painted in colors adapted for longer
wear than the former, at the same time
presenting Il superior appearance on ac-
count of the pleasant contrasts. Altogether,
the change is exactly such as should have
been made Without the appointment OF
Mr.. n. S. Frost upon the Board OF School
Commissioners, this beautiful building would
have probably remained i'll the line OF pro-
yrcss to decay But he has arrested this
progress with a firm hand has already done
much to repair the injuries the house has
sustained, and is determined 10 do more
Mr.. John Englcby has been employed to
put up spouting and Mr.. james H. HAWKE
is contractor for the painting. both OF whom
do the most for the money. Next year Mr..
Frost designs ycpail.ing the h1t's OF me
building in an appropriate color, which,
with the neatly enclosed yard and growing
trees, will so thoroughly change the aspect
of the premises that they must become ut
once the pride of the town.
