This Is fifteen nights longer than
heretofore. In the west. Mr. Tinker
stated. the night school term covers
$50 nights; in New York city, 125
nights. the same number In most
places in Massachusetts,. whsle here In
Connecticut, he said, the term covers
the bare number of nights required to
get the appropriation from the state.
There will be no Swedish room this
year as II was dropped out very earl!
in last years term.
Mr. Tinker also announced that the
registration was 500 over that Of last
year. Most Of the schools are crowd
ed. and the nearest to overcrowding
are In the Brooklyn district. 1t will
be necessary to add either another
story to the Bank street school or nd.
ditional rooms in the rear. The latte
seems TO be the most probable. Plan
that cost the city $3.50 will be used.
II was thought better to build on the
Bank street school than on either OF
the Others in Brooklyn as 10 Is more
centrally situated. Rooms In other
school houses may be ordered COM
Melted from time to time during the
nresant term and an appropriation OF
$4,000 or 100000 viii be necessary to
nav for the work. The committee on
appropriations will decide this matter
al the next meeting.
On motion by Commissioner Larkln
II was decided to straighten out the
street near the Mulcahy school and
70 begin the work as soon as possible.
To sfraightpn the street It may be ne
eez4srv 10 hHy some land from Mr.
scuIlv. But this will not delay the
work. The tone Of the board last
night on this matter was to adjust
This bone Of contention a. soon as pos
sible.
