inendations Of the board are finally adopt
ed two or three new school buildings
will be erected, one will be located in
ward three and another In ward seven
and to meet the necess ties Of ward five
the present building will be enlarged.
Definite information as to the location
Of the buildings was not obtainable but 1t
was suggested to a reporter of the PRESS
by resident of South Portland village, so
called, that desirable lot for the ward
three school house would be that parcel
of land ON the north west corner of Sawyer
and Broadway, now owned by f. II. Har-
ford, which might be purchased at cost
not to exceed $500. This new school
building according to the plans and
specifications to be an eight room one.
1t was intimated that for ward seven
there is obtainabie, for say $1,000, on the
westerly sids of Main street, lot of land
owned by the Atwood Lead company
which would be most desirable and
convenient site for this locality.
