TOWN MEETING VOTES FOR NEW
 SCHOOL BUILDING ON WEST SIDE

New London. where Norwich had grand list of $1s.0o0,000 and New Lon don s33,00o.00o.
 Mayor H. NJ Lerou strongly advocated the passage of the resolution and said that while there was all this talk about a 40 mill. tax the people of Norwich have never really paid even 90 mill tax, because the valuation of property for the grand list is not what it ought to be. The grand list ought to be doubled. We must have a revaluation of Norwich property. The mayor spoke of the ex- ceedingly favorable condition of Norwich as compared to other cities in the amount of school debt the town owes.
 Former Mayor T. c. Murphy was an other speaker for the resolution and claimed that the High street building needed frequent inspection for the sake of safety. He said that the only cost to
 the present generation of this proposed l expenditure would be the interest on an
 issue of bonds.
 Principal H. A. Tirrell of the Norwich
 Free Academy said this was all a ques- | tion of how much the people of Norwich
 valued their children, the best thing that i Norwich owns. It is an investment for
 the children. It is not spending money
 for frills, but w.sen we talk about better light it means our children's eyes, and l This matter ougs.t to go through.
