plan go through this money could be
used in the erection of the centrally
located building. According to plans
made last night the central school
proposition will be put before the peo-
pie at the general election in Novem-
Der.
The districts which will be repre-
sented in the school when perma-
nently located are, Lemoyne, East
Pennsboro township, West Fairview,
Camp Hill, Wormleysburg, Shiremans-
town, Lower Allen township and New
Cumberland. Those who represented

Work on the new buildings will be
started as soon as the architect, c..
Howard Lloyd, of Harrisburg, submits
his plans. probably within the next
two weeks. According to present
ideas, two buildings will be erected
one at Mann's Woods, to be used for
high school purposes, and another on
the site of the burned building, at
Enola, to be used for the lower
grades. The structure at Mann's
Woods will be a four-room building.
while the other structure will have
eight rooms and will be equipped with
an auditorium to accommodate 500
persons.
Washington Heights will benefit
with the loan, $4,000 will be used in
building an addition of two rooms to
the present building. modern heat
ing plant will be installed to replace
coal stoves, in use at present.
