congregated for the purpose of dis

Among the matters discussed and
commented upon was the desirability
of an improved highway from Tampa
to connect with the New York-Atlan-

now marked out and under construc-

new highway should be built, and the
advisability of discussing the matter

SCHOOL BOARD
BUYS new SITE
On Which to Erect Palatka's 8
New High School.

The county school board working in
full harmony with the trustees of the
Palatka sub.school district, has this
week purchased rs 100 feet of land on
Fifth street adjoining the present high
school lot on the south.
This property was purchased OF Mrs.
G. M. Davis, mother of Mayor H. A..
Davis, and the consideration was So, 500.
This purchase now gives the school
board total frontage on Fifth street of
225 feet.
This location, while ii may have some
disadvantages for school purposes, GER
tainly has so many advantages that the
disadvantages will be lost sight of. The
property faces the court house square
and is central.
1t is the purpose of the school board
and the local trustees 10 secure funds for
the erection of new high school build
ing. This can now be erected on the
new purchase without interfering with
the school which will 60 right along in
the old building.
The old building will not be torn
down, but even when the new building
has been completed will be needed for
grammar school purposes.
The board has not yet fixed upon a
plan for securing money for the new
high school building, but will probably
do so before very long. In fact the
board has JUST GOT 1T TO DO.
For the past three year the present
building has been inadequate TO proper
ly accommodate the pupils, the number
of which is now increasing rapidly. In
creased school accommodations are i'm
peratively demanded
The board expects TO first build and
equip building for the high school
proper, in which there are now about IS
pupils. For this purpose at least SIS, 900
will be required.
Palatka is behind in the matter of
school accommodations.

This tops the high record made dur
