The population and number of children in this sub district were not yet such as to demand 1t. The report was accepted and application dis missed. a-og's1st -} o3 Sas-
 The question of the full completion or fin-,
 ishing of of all the rooms in the new public school building on Ferry street came up. As the case stood, four rooms were to be in- ished and the remaining four left unfinished until called for. MT. Gile suggested if the Al, f0 ha iniS year that they should be finished in time for the first of September. 'S--
 MT. Maher said that the appropriation would be exhausted, all but $103, in com pleting the first four rooms as originally de- cided and thought it questionable if there would be enough scholars to fill more than
 four rooms, particularly as the parochial school was being erected. ezts.-,-.r Mr. Gile said that he had learned from Principal Pitman that both the Woolsey and Lloyd street schools were overcrowded, and that there were 40 children for each more than could be accommodated, so that the half time method was in use for 80 scholars in each of the buildings. Also there were many children to come in from the annexed part. - s - -.5 -5 lg Mr. Parish said there were to be added many children, both girls and boys, who during the spring and summer were em- ploy ed, but who would come in the schools in the fall, as was shown by the increase
 each year on September in the number of pupils Remark was made as to the additional cost of completing four more rooms, which would
 be about 5000, the building as at present contracted for costing $14,987. The senti- ment seemed to be in favor of having the extra rooms finished while the building was being completed, and the matter was referred to the Committee on School Buildings to in- quire and report at the next meeting. ..a.-.a MT. Hemingway remarked upon the ques- tion of hiring teachers for the primary schools in the annexed part of Fair Haven. l There would be great many recommenda- tions to consider as to appointments. MT. Parish said he had made arrangements to go over early next week and look at the schools. l The other pupils would fill up the Grand street school, where there was room for part of the new pupils, and the rest would be distributed in the other schools in Fair Haven Some debate was had with refer ence to the difference in the school terms of the city schools and the annexed schools, and it was thought that arrangements could be made by which the new scholars could come in the city district schools when the others come in.
 Mir. Parish reported the numbers in atten- dance upon the different schools, as far as re. turns had come in and been arranged, as follows:
