" ILL COM B
New Clinton
School
Is FULLY ASSURED.


Clinton. Dec 5.-The school committee
at its last meeting decided to make ar
engagements for the erection of a new
school house on North Main street. The
structure now existing there is in very
bad shape, is inadequate 10 the needs
of the district, and not satisfactory in
any respect.
1t is expected that plans for the new
structure may be ready and work upon
it begun as soon as the weather opens
in the spring. The people Of this dis
trict have long clamored for better
school accommodations for their chill
dren. and are much gratifed at the
prospect Of seeing their desires salts
fed.
Walter r. Dame said to the Clinton
correspondent of The Spy this after
noon that the board of directors of the!
Worcester and Clinton Street Railway
Company would meet in Worcester to-
morrow afternoon. for the purpose of
deciding definitely when the 1rst carl
for the use of the public shah be run
over the line and to do other business
that is waiting to be done. Mr. Dame
said he had rather expected the road
would be open tomorrow, but that the
work done today toward clearing the
snow from the tracks had proved moreI
difficult than was expected.
The public has been kept in an osCil
laung frame of mind for some weeks,
relative to the opening of the road,
which has been delayed several times,
for one reason or another.
Manager John Rodgers has succeeded

has existed between his basket bail
team and the owner of DeXter's rink.
Mr.. Rodgers is not ready to announce
the terms of the agreement. but the
arrangement is satisfactory 10 both
parties. and, what is more to the |
point. assures the basket ball-loving
population Of Clinton that 1t Will not be
deprived Of it's favolite amusement for
the rest of the winter, as has seemed |
likely for the last 10 days. Manager
Rodgers had just brought the game to |
d point where it was paying small
margin. when Mr.. Dexter asked for a
percentage Of the gross receipts, that
Mir. Rodgers believed the team could
not afford to play. Games ceased, |
while MI. Rodgers looked for a new
home for the game There was talk
Of securing the town hall, but that plan
Was not practicable.
