ing Is Well Under Way-Plaster-
ing Is to Be Started at
Once.

The large addition which Is being con-
structed on the north, or Brook street,
side of the public school building at the
corner OF Brook and North Seminary
streets is rapidly nearing completion.
Work was begun on the addition July
is, and A. b. Lane, the contractor, states

cupancy when the schools Of the city
open September g. Both the wood and
brick work are well under way, there

masons was added today, and the plas.
tering will be begun at once.
The addition consists Of two rooms,
each 2s by 80 feet interior, and on the

terror will be finished to correspond ex.
actly in appearance with that OF the old
part Of the building. This will make the
building one.third larger and capable Of
