OF SCHOOL PROPERTY
Improvements Suggested By the Center
District Committee.

Improvements Suggested By the Center
District Committee.
The members of the center district
committee visited five of the school
buildings Saturday afternoon to see
what was needed in the way of improve
ments and repairs. At the Ridge street
school they found tho high stone wall,
part of which has already fallen, in a
very dangerous condition, and it was
admitted by the visitors that it should
be repaired at once. The property of
Charles Thatcher adjoining the school
property they think should not be pur-
chased. The Washington school
grounds were next looked over and the
committee decided that the play
grounds were sufficiently large and that
there was no immediate necessity of re-
moving the ledge of rock in the rear of
them, but that they should be graded
and turfed in front. Porter street
school building was found to badly need
paint and repairs in every room, which
will be done during the summer vaca-
ton. At Bank street school the cutters
on each side of the building are too mar
row to carry off the water and will be
widened as soon as possible, At West
Side Hill school the play ground and
the walk In front of the property were
in a dirty and dilapidated condition,
and Improvements at this place will be
begun at once.

the dispatch that he has offered $50 to

has bought whole trainload, consisting
of 16 cars or 1900 barrels of the leading

to make the great grocer grow gray over

well known fact that every business Place
from Dexter's Corner to Holmes & Par

In regard to KELLY'S Veracity when he
hangs up his fishing rod and takes off his
hip boots he is at par with the rest of the
world, and you could see the proof of that
to-day, it seems that everyone who wanted
to buy flour from Prospect to Woodbury.,

ordered flour, to-day ''the proof Of the
