NEED NEW MT. PLEASANT ST. SCHOOL

Chief Stanton's letter to the chamber made it plain that this list did not in- clude new houses erected in the town side of the city limits, of which there had been a number, and which are available as residences for people em- ployed in the city The record also does not include alterations to buildings so as to make them into two-apartment houses. Again there were several first floor flats altered into stores in some sections of the city that would offset the number of alteration to buildings to obtain flats. Tn 1915 the number of new houses erected or for which permits were granted was occasioned by the houses erected by the Housing Corpora- tion at Thamesville.' Slater avenue and Rockwell street In the past three years. Chief Stanton's letter points out. the number of permits for garages has played large part in keeping the to- tai number of permits granted up to the average of former years
 The committe believes that Norwich IN normal as to its yearly growth of new family houses as indicated by this list. It is felt, however, that owing to a higher standard of living and wages,
 there exists a dearth of modern tene
 ment property of five and six rooms al moderate rentals. According to popula- ton figures recently received from Wash ington pertaining to Norwich the growth of population has been as foIlows:. 1900 1919 1920
