LAST NIGHTS SCHOOL MEETING.
There was small attendance at the
special meeting of the Central school
district in the town hall last evening.
j. r. Campbell was chosen as chairman
with j. w. Allen as clerk. c. H.
Brown, chairman of the school COM
mittee, stated the condition of affairs
as they now exist in the district Ev-
cry room in the school buildings, with
the exception of one room in the Colony
street school, are now full, and in
many cases overcrowded, and the con-
slant increase in attendance makes it
necessary to provide some other quar-
ters either by adding to the high
school building or erecting new
building on the South Main street lot
or on some other desirable location.
Mr.. Brown stated that he had only got
the price on one lot, which was deemed
a desirable location, which was on the
corner of Ward street and Whittlesey
avenue, which was 200 feet square and
owned by Henry B. Hall, who placed
the price at $40 a foot which would
make the lot cost $4,000.
Upon a motion of Judge Hubbard a
committe of five was appointed to take
into consideration the wants of the dis
trict and investigate as to the best
method of providing for the present
necessity of the district
The following were selected: G. H.
Brown, William Hassett, D. E. Morris,
w. J. Leavenworth, James Gaffney,
George e. Dickerman. The committee
to report at an adjourned meeting.
Voted, That when this meeting adj
journs it shall be until two weeks from
this evening, May II, when the report
of the committee will be acted upon.
There was quite discussion as to
what was the most desirable locality
for new school building should it be
decided to erect a costly building that
! would answer the requirements of the
present and also the future for some
years to come.
Judge Hubbard favored the erecting,
If it should be decided to build, of
any large building on any street but
Main street, and favored the selling of
the property on South Main street
which is not large enough for any
large building to be placed upon, and
devote the proceeds to the purchase
of a new location for the proposed
building.
G. w. Woodhouse was in favor of
disposing of the South Main street
property for the purchase or procur-
| ing other more suitable grounds and
spoke favorably of the Whittlesey ave-
nue. location.
| Mr. Woodhouse brought up the mat
ter of the blocking up by boards of
| the fire escape at the high school build
| ing. c. H. Brown of the school COM
mittee stated that the boards in ques-
keep the boys from climbing up the
fire escapes and breaking the windows
and committing other depredations and
| that the boards were only tackled down
and could be easily removed from
above. The matter of drilling the
scholars to leave the building in order
| in case of q fire was also discussed,
