 As instructed by the district the ad- Joining property, corner Whalley ave- nue and Harrison street, was purchased at the option price of $5,OOO, and action Twas taken to grade, seed and fence it Iduring the summer vacation.
 STREET LIGHTS.

 HYDRANTs.
 Action was taken to place hydrant at the corner of Central avenue and Elm street, and one in front of the hose house on Alden avenue. I GAS.
 Gas piping is being extended through out the school building at the very moderate cost of $60.
 Il NEW ROOMS. The construction of the two rooms in the third story, referred to last year, mot only resulted in very pleasant rooms to supply our urgent need; but the fire escape from them, placed on the rear, was also made available for the second story. The trusses placed under the roof greatly strengthened the main building, and the enlarged furn- ace made the heating Of the entire building easier and more satisfactory.
 Action taken to open one or more rooms and refurnish another and make other necessary repairs during the present vacation, will result in am- Iple and comfortable accommodations for our school work in the, coming year.
 The reports of the superintendent of schools, tax collector and treasurer were accepted as printed. A somewhat spirited discussion took
 place as to the advisability of the board purchasing piece of land on the . north of the school, belonging to the estate of E. B. Beecter, at a price not . | to exceed $1,000. It was pointed out by I several of the speakers that the pur- l chase would be good investment for the board, and that the land was badly needed if for no other purpose than fol
 that of a playground. Another speaker . thought the purchase ought to be de
 layed and a committee appointed tc look into the matter. On a vote being taken it was unanimously agreed to se' 1 cure the lot.
