The erection OF the building was COM

aldermen being changed last spring, the
new public building committee was made
up by the appointment of Messrs. Lane.

looked the building over. The building
which has been over year and a half in
the process of construction has at Inst
been completed and is an ornament and
a credit to the city. The completion of
the building represents large amount of
money which has besn well expended. as
the building 10 modern in all its appoint
ments, and while 1t is a larger structure
than is needed for present purposes, the
day may not ae far distant when the en-
tire building will be needed for the ac-
comInodation of the increasing popula-
tion. The first money appropriated for
the building was by the aldermen of 1897,
under the administration Of Mayor Henry
J. Davis, when the sum OF S35 900 was
before many months had passed it became
evident that in order. to meet the demands
of the future larger amount of money
would have to be raised to complete the
building. The next money set apart for
the work WAS appropriated in the summer
The work has been oomplated and the
I,oney has been well expended, and it is
safe to assert that there is no finer High
school building in the state, and it is
doubtful if a better building either from
AN artistic or architectural standpoint
can be found in New England.
The building is built of brick which Is
handsomely set of by the terra Gotta
