Special Meeting of District
No. 2 Called for Eve
ming of 29th
COMMITTEE WILL
REPORT ON SITE
Questions of Finishing Rooms in Oak
Grove School, Enlarging Grounds
There and Buying Site for New
Building VIII Come Up.

Clerk Will b. Smith OF the incorpor-
ated district No. has had warnings
posted today calling special meeting
of the voters of the district Thursday
evening, MAY %, at s clock, in the
high school ROOM
The first business to be taken up is
to see if the district will direct the
finishing, ready for use, of the second
story of the Oak Grove school build
ing, and make provisions relating
thereto. When this building was erect
ed only two rooms were finished off
as it was thought that would be ample
for present needs, but there are times
when there are so pupils in those
rooms, and another room there readv
for occupancy is imperative.
The question has come up as to
whether the district ought not to ac-
quire more land adjoining the Oak
Grove school grounds. and the second
article in the warrant is to see if the
district will vote to buy an additional
lot. The next article relates to pro-
viding funds for finishing the rooms
and buying the lot.
/ Article 4 is to hear the report of the
committee relating to the selection of
site for another school building. The
committee has investigated several
sites, and it is understood that the
| Hines property on Green street is the
most desirable. Another article is to
see if the district will authorize the
purchase of a site for another building.
/ The need of more room in the high
school building for strictly high school
use has become urgent, and it Is
thought by many that it would be
wise to erect new building rather
than to spend the money in enlarging
the Fleming building, which is used
by some of the grades, and in a few
years spend some more money in put
ting that building back into the same
condition that it was when the district
hired it.
This, in brief, is the program fol
the special meeting. A more detaile,
story of the condition and needs OF
the district will be published at al
early date.
