Newark can, and does justly feel
proud of her many thrifty enterprises

known as District No. 80. During the
following year another public school
building was erected and was known
as District No Al. Both these dis
tricts remained separate until 1873
when they were joined by act of leg
islature under the title of United Dis
tiicts. No 49, Al.
