BELIAIRE.

The school election to-day is of far more
importance to the people of Bellaire than
they seem to attach TO it. More school
room is absolutely necessary, and the
amount asked for, $4,000, will only in
crease the levy for school purposes one
mill each year. The proposition to put
one school building OF four rooms in the
Second ward, and one on Noble street just
north of Indian run, is certainly as near
of town. and will draw from the central
building in the Fourth ward, and from the
Fifth ward schools. These are about
the only ones that are crowded now, but
thew are crowded much that the attend
ance is not what it would be if more room
was provided. By all means let the elec.
ton to-day result in sustaining the school
board in its efforts to make our schools
better.
