iAnother school, probably hagg CT than the one built in that village about four years ago, is going to be needed at WdlIian1svdlle at an early date, and members of the town schoo. commit I tee have been giving time to inpesd- gate the proposition and will be ready soon to present the data covering the matter to che citizens at a special town meeting that will be called later. The Goodyear Cotton company, Inc, has offered a free site for the school, as was done when the other school build ing was erected in Willamsville, building incidentally. that already has become so overcrowded as to fprce the town school committee during the last few weeks to equip for emergency use a room under the basement of the WilliamSviile church, where sess5ons are now being held. The capacity of
 the new building already has been ex-
 ceeded through the rapid growth of
 williamsville's population, which. will
 be doubfed during the coming spring
 Seere4ary Sidney P. Marland of the
 town school committee sad Monday
 that 12o pupils are now registered at
 rooms of the school became over
 crowded, though this did not apply to
 all four rooms in the building.
 The site offered for the new build
 ing is near the new village that is be-
 ing ed and not distant sffomswqnat
 is known as the Kimban Atwood place.
 As vet the school cofnmittee is not pre-
 pared to recommend what size or type of. school building be erectef but one of six or eight rooms has been talked
 The Goodyear operatives will num-
 her 800 by June 1, Mir. Marland has
 been given to understand, so on that
 basis the present number Of school children in williamsviile will be doubled by that date. There is also
 to be considered the cotton company's plans for a new mill, giving. with the present plant, employment for fnom 1,S00 to 1000 operatives. s.
 All the data procured by the com mittee will be ready for presentation to the citizens of Killing;y at such time as special town meeting is held. That action on the new schoolhouse proposition cannot be delayed beyond the time permitting the com pletion of the schoolhOuse by next September. is indicated by the rapid manner in which the new village is being built.
 On what was a bare and brown plain, dotted here and there, two weeks ago today. by ugly piles of excavated earth from cellar holes. anc pyramids of lumber and other building mate rials, seven houses have ar fisen and a total of half a hundred will be pushed to completion as rapidly as possible, and they are building with speed in WdlliaInsville. By early summer the new village will have close to 100 fam lilies.
 The state, of course, ilnpc ses upon the town as a prime obligation the-es- tablshment and maintenance of ade- quate educational facilities for the children within it's borders. But this aside, KiI1ingly's citizens feel that the town should not lag behind its indus trial development as to providing the necessary schools and little opposition l to meeting the towns educational | needs is expected when the matter of | making the appropriation comes up.
