New sehooihouse contracted For.

Messrs. l.. NJ. Greene, G. ID. Cushing and
! q. II. Topper, the committee elected at the
annual meeting last week to carry out the
vote to build a new schoolhouse, have let
the contract to Randlett q Griffin Of Con-
cord, y. III.
The bull ling is to be on the same gem
eral plan as the new Woodstock building,
except that the exterior is to be OF wood.
The cost is to be 10000 all complete and
ready for occupancy, with electric light
wiring, ventilating, heating apparatus,
sanitary arrangements and plumbing,
black boards, etc, and desks, except what
the district now has on hand suitable for
use.
The committee was authorized to ex-
pend $4,000 and personally were in favor
OF building a brick building that would
cost $4,000, but they realized that there
was consi terable opposition to any school
building at all and also opposition to
brick building on account of the extra
cost, SO the committee thought that a
$4,000 building would perhaps harmon
ize the voters TO some degree. AT the
same time clause was inserted in the
contract to the effect that the contractors
agreed, il they were notified before laying
the foundations that the district preferred
a brick structure, they would build it of
brick for the extra sum of $500 II a square
building, or 5000 extra If not square. In
either case the walls were to be carried up
about two stories and a half, thus pro-
yiding for two hopper roofs.
The building decided on is to have two
fronts, one facing Church street and one
facing River street II is to be built di-
rectly m front of the present main build
ing which il will not be necessary to dis
turb until after the new building is fin
ished, which will probably be next sum
mer, certainly ready for occupancy in the
fall Of 1905
