A Slice OF the State House Grounds
Wanted,
MEssRs. EDIToRs.--Is it not singular that
since we became city, none of itsofficials have
made move to have the State authorities set
back the front fence of the State grounds?
II projects so far into State street as to make
quite curve. l find lately that the public
express surprise that it has remained so long
in its present position. Strangers notice it.,
and only few days since gentleman from
Boston spoke of it as he rode to lIallowell A
very large travel passes there day and night,
and the space is also narrow in front of the
State House where the curve is. The ex-
pense for removal would be small, as no ma.
terial is needcd-ahd most certainly it would
not detract from the harmony of any part of
the grounds. | have been told that one rea-
son why the lot in its present state came so
far east was, that the old road to IIallowell
was west of the State House, and some years
since the stone bank wall, now east of the
present road, was built so as to have a road
in front. 1t may have answered at that day,
but we now need more room there. Look to
it city fathers and see if the much needed
improvement cannot be accomplished. c.

The New. Hisn School Building.

| The Directors Of the Cony Female Acadea
my have made contract with Nathan s.
Wilbur of Boston. TO erect the high school
building, which will be presented TO the city
for occupancy ms soon as it is completed.
The plan was designed by G. J. F. Bryant of
Boston, the same gentleman who was the ar
chitect of the jail, and he has been engaged to
supcrintend the erection Of the new structure
and see that his designs are faithfully carried
out by the contractor.
Those who have seen the plan say that it
will make handsome building, and one that
the city can well point to with pride. 1t
could not be placed in finer location than
upon the lot where the old building stood
for so many years. The structure will be
two stories in height, will have French and
fancy roof, and surmonnting all there will be
tower eighty feet high and containing a
clock The building will face the west, and
on either side of the entrance hall will be a
recitation room. Beyond these will be the
general school room. The second story will
be finished into hall for graduating and
other purposes, and will also contain room
for library and one for the teachers. The
material used will be brick, with freestone
and granite trimmings, while the roof will be
covered with slate and with colored cypress
shingles. The directors have first endeav-
ored to get a building that will be practical,
and secondly one that will he attractive. The
building will be heated by steam, will be sup
piled with pure water from the springs on the
hillside above, and the ventilation will be
carefully regarded.
The basement is to he begun and complct-
ed this fall so that work may be begun upon
it early in the spring. A reservoir with a
capacity of one hundred gallons has been
constructed from which to draw a water sup
ply. The architect of the building, Mr.. Bry
ant is an Androscoggin county man. and the
contractor was formerly resident in Sidney.
