THE contract for the erection Of a
new school building at Georgetown
has been awarded to r. J. Belts, of
Milton, for 81 ,299. The main room
will he G6x32 and the wing 4lx32.
There will be two school rooms in the
main building below. The room
above will be furnished as public
hall until there is demand for more
school room, when it will be divided
as is the first floor. The ceiling of the
first story will be II #. 9 in, and that
of the second y #. lin. The wing
will contain the halls and two school
rooms. one above and one below. There
will be belfry above the halls. They
hope TO use the Rutten Smead Heat
ing and Ventilating System, as it is
said to be at once the cheapest and
bes. means for ventilatiug and heat
ing. Most school rooms have no ven
tilation and they are all poorly heated
because of the size of the rooms. The
cost of this system would be $780, The
bonds are advertised at 5 per cent, and
IT is understood that takers can be
found for them at this rate.

Now that Milford is provided with
hooks, ladders and buckets, we need a
water supply. Two plans have been
suggested for this purpose to lay pipes
from the Haven Mill pond, which it is
claimed is high enough above the level
of the town to supply all parts of it, or
to provide a half dozen wells in diff
ferent parts of the town, where they
could be conveniently got at in case
of fire. The latter plan has only one
recommendation, it would be cheap.
But the wells would be of but little
public benefit, and in case of fire would
probably be found to be in the wrong
place. The first plan would be costly,
hut the cost could be met by tax on
those who used the water 1t could
furnish an unfailing supply of pure
water for household purposes, water
ing the streets and in case Of fire an
ample protection. 1t would promote
health and eleanliness,and render the
town attractive to strangers.
