There is an increasing sentiment IN
favor of a new two room building So
located as to accommodate the schools
in Districts No. and No 10. This
would be great step in advance ana
IL is hoped that every public spirited
citizen will lend it his support. Looked
at from a purely financial standpoint
it would be a paying proposition Tor
the town. Property is worth more IN
a town with good school buildings
and good schools. If citizen In TINS
section of the town should wish to.
sell his property the increase in It's
value would make up ten times over
the amount of additional tax paid. AS.
a building is needed at Reynolds
Corner the people in that section
should unite in getting this building.
and in turn be provided with SIM
liar building.
