Condition of Berkeley Schools Pro-
vides Plea for Much Needed
Bond Issue.

BERKELEY, Oct. 5.-Anxious that
pressure upon Berkeleys overcrowded
schools be relieved, Superintendent
Waterman last night made a plea to
the Board of Education for the issu-
ance of school bonds, the proceeds of
which would serve to erect the sorely
needed buildings.
The project for issuing bonds for va
rious municipal Improvements was
abandoned, for a time at least, by the
Town Trustees, at their meeting last
Monday night, but the Board of Edu-
cation is receiving earnest appeals, of
which Superintendent Waterman's s
plea is a specimen, not to drop the
plan to issue school bonds. It is
urged that though other municipal
improvements perhaps can wait, there
is absolute need of added school facili-
ties.
