In compliance with the demand of
the State Board of Education that the
| CITY Of Lambertville shall provide
modern and up.to. date school build
ings ss provided ny the State School
Law, our Local Board of Education
have decided TO abandon the old school
house site on the Hill, and are negoti-
ating for the purchase of part of the
old Base. bail Grounds on North Main
street on which to erect this new
building.

zenS of Iambertville cannot escape
from providing school buildings as re-
CURED by law, nor do we think the

power to select the site for our School
Building. Neither does the State
Board claim any such right.
The right of selection OF the site IL
vested absolutely in the citizens OF
Lambertville.
We, your petitioners, therefore most
respectfully pray that your Honorab. q
| body will authorize the holding of Il
| SPECIAL election to be held in the near
| future for the purpose Of officially de-
| termining what is the will of the PEo-
PIE on the question: shall the New
School Building be on the Hill or
Shall it be Down TOWN." also your
| Honorable Body certify the result of
said Election to the Honorable Board
of Education, who are the Servants of
the People of the City of LambertviIle,
