The citizens committee on new school
house held meeting Wednesday evening,
and later met the school board. In joint
session it was decided to present to the legal
voters, the proposition Of asking for $24, 900
for an S-roomed building complete with
heating plant sufficient for four additional
rooms. This cuts $4,000 off the original
sum asked by the board for 12-room build
ing. Money is much easier, and it is thought
brick building very much like the one at
Coilingswood can be constructed for less
than $24, 600.
