action OF his heart, the organs of
breathing and digestion and fertile

life whatever.
The physicians who visited the suf-
ferer declare that he is afflicted with
disease that runs it's course in sew
ell years, not a day more or day
less. Green has already dragged out
his existence over four OF these years
only three OF his short span OF life
remain.

you go.'' If this policy had been fol lowed in the past the city would not now be paying $42.O00 each year in terest on school indebtedness. There are times, as in this case, of large ex- penditures for school purposes, when it is good finance to issue bonds, but II each year, as in many cities, a fixed sum was raised by taxation for new construction these occasions would oc- cur at rare intervals. The demands of our schools call for an expenditure of between $35, GOO and $40,00O each year for additions and new buildings. If in one year a smaller sum is raised, in the next a larger sum will be required
 Districts.
 Tn June list of suggestive repairs was sent to each of the committeeman. September found these suggestions put into effect and even additional ime provements made, of which the more important are given below
 Wateryille-L Land adjoining the school property has been purchased and plans drafted for a four (4) room addition to the present structure. A modern heating and .yentilating plant, plenum system, with fan will be in stalled not only in the addition but in the older huilding as well. Changes will be made in the lighting in interior arrangement of the rooms. The front yard has been graded and made into a beautiful lawn. New single desks have been placed in two rooms Pipes have been laid to carry the waste from the building and two enameled sinks installed on the first floor. When the proposed improvements are carried out this district will have one of the finest schools in the city, on a site unspr. passed.
 Town Plot-Before the close of the year this building will have been thoroughly renovated.
 Park Road-The roads have been graded and fenced in. The school room has been vanished and kalso. mined, partition removed and new cur tains hung. The blackboards have been enlarged and. recoated.
 OrOnoke-SchooI room, neatly @paint. ed and kalsomined, shades put up and blackboard lowered and redressed Window placed in cellar wall and new gutters on roof
 Oakville-The grounds have been graded and fences erected. The school room has been kalsomined.
 Bunker Hill-The stoves have been removed and large furnace with ven. tilating system installed

BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
Visited the Mulcahy School Site Yes
 terday Afternoon.

Visited the Mulcahy School Site Yes
 terday Afternoon.
 The board of public works visited the Mulcahy school building yesterday af- ternoon and looked over the streets leading to the building. They hadn't been long on the ground when it be- came apparent that there was some thing wrong, but how to right it was a question nobody could answer. The school foundation was started without any regard as to how the approaches to it would affect neighboring property with the result that condition has been created which is not at all ad- yantageous to the city or anybody else with the exception of the Tracy Bros, whose interests appear to have been made paramount to all others in the minds of those who took this matter Tn hand. The architect located the building as directed by the school com- mlttee, to agree with certain street lines which had not been designated by any competent authority. He says he got the stakes from the city en- gineer. Who authorized the engineer to designate such land as was to be used for streets has not vet been cleared mp, but it is presumed that lie received instructions to that effect from the school committee, body that has no more right to pass upon such uucs- tions than the board of public works has to appoint school teachers. But it looks as if things will have to % as they are! Several thousand dollars worth of work has been put into the ! foundation and it is not probable that this will be ordered taken down. no matter who suffers. The aldermen will be obliged to lay out Fairmount street as planned whether they like it or not. | although ail they have done in the mat i ter thus far is to authorize the board of public works to designate such land as is to hc taken for that purpose. l The character of the work OH the foundation, which is being built by Thompson Bros. is very satisfactory, evervthing being done in praise. worthy manner. ',..
 From here the hoard proceeded to | William street and inspected the prem 1 ises of James Sutton. where the brook that runs through private property from Laurel street overf1owed the other night and did considerable damage. Mir Sutton's place presents a sorry specta- cle and while the board regretted the condition it did not seem to them that the city was responsible.

This fall the Walsh and Russel schools were completed and opened Five rooms in the Russell and sixteen in the Walsh were occupied. The pullo- ings. fine in every respect, take tue nlace ofsstVo wooden structures. TWO additional rooms have been opened Ill the Driggs and Barnard schools. one room at Porter street and six rooms aL Bishop street schools have been closeu because the pupils were in attendance at other schools. The Mulcahy school which is in the process of erection Will he completed in time for the fall term < of 1903 and will relieve the pressure at Washington school Otherwise the. schools. except in an occasional room, have not been overcroWded to an e1- tent which could not be relieved Dy transfers It was hoped that two large rooms in the Elm street basement might be closed. but the large increase made it impossible and the only alter native for the future is to open the other basement room. It does seem pity to put children in such unhealthy quarters

 A Noteworthy Event.
 As the most noteworthy event in the educational affairs of the city the read l ing public would place in the foremost rank the consolidation of the two school systems, still another event, not so generally known, might and ought | to be regarded as of equal importance. I refer to the fact that during the past year the city has built schodlhouse, no very uncommon event. but that which is noteworthy about this school building is that when completed ready for occupancy it had been paid foTA- there was no debt nor obligation in cured for the future. It is true that in order to do this an increase of the tax rate was necessary, but as re- snlf of this increased levy the Russell school stands to-day as a monument [ of the sound financial policy spay as
