There is cons iderable talk about town in rels-
ton to building new school-house at the junction
of Brunswick and Central streets, to accommo-
date the gram schools on Lincoln street and
at the New Mi Is, the intermediate school on Neal
street. and the primary schools on Dresden aud
Maple streets. Probably no better time could be
selected, as far cheapness of labor and mate
rial are concerned. Money on short loans be
had for ~ to ) per cent, aud saving in the
expense of running many schools might be
made by putting them into one house, sufficient
to pay the interest on the cost There are no
bonds coming due after this year for several
years, aud the cost of building might be divided
up and paid by taxation during these years
Doubtless the matter will be brought before the
city council for their consideration.
A petition is being circulated asking the city
council to extend Fountain street across the old
e amman school lot to High street. The public
have been 80 long accom- modated with a passage
across this lot, that they will hardly be satisfied If
the privilege should be taken away.
