THE CENTER DISTRICT SCHOOL PROPERTY.
 The Center district school ground has been graded according to the survey. Just 250 loads of good soil have been drawn from the town property in Grassy Plain to cover the sand and gravel in order to secure sure growth of grass where needed. Two large play grounds, one at each end of the new building, have been reserved, which will be properly graveled and rolled down hard. A wide gravel walk leads from Beaver street to the main entrance. A driveway leads from South street to the rear of the build ing, where the coal bins are located in the basement under the school rooms. The grounds are elevated from six to 10 feet above the streets and make a grad ual descent to the sidewalks. The loca- tion is central and one of the most heal thy and pleasant places to be found in Center district for school purposes. The work of grading, soiling and seeding is under the charge of A. s. Judd, one of the committee.
