MRS. BERRY 81
YEARS OLD TO-DAY

Today is the S1st anniversary or
the birth of Mrs. Celia o. Berry of
S Appleton street. Despite her
years, Mrs. Berry may be seen NOV
ing about the streets nearly every
day, carrying herself like woman
of many less years. She enjovs
large acquaintance and is alive to
the questions of the day.
Mrs. Berry does a large amount of
fancy work and has yearly exhibited
rugs. sofa pillows and other articles
at the Central Maine Fair. She has
never failed to bring home at least
one blue ribbon and many times has
received first in all her exhibits.
Mrs. Berry was born in Mount
Vernon and when quite young she
was married to Lewis Berry,
farmer of Vienna and it is in the
latter town that she has passed the
greater part of her life. When her
husband died, IS years ago. Mrs.
Berry came to Waterville and has
made her home with her two sons,
Hon. S. L. and Walter w. Berry.
being with the former the greater
part of the time. Mrs. Berry is a
member of the Advent church and
owns cottage at the Lakeside
campground which she greatly en-
joys.
There will be no special observance
of the day this year as last year,
on the occasion of her S0th birth
day, a big family reunion was

housing from 500 to 900 children.
This would also give an opportunity
| to develop kindergarten schools.
which are coming to be very neces-
sary.
! The committee recommends the
demolition of the present Pleasant
street school building, and the ac-
| quiring of sufficient additional pro-
pcrty adjacent to give suitable
grounds, and the erection Of the jun
ior High school building on what is
now the Pleasant street lot.
, This building should be at least
a Broom school house, planned,
furnished and equipped according to
the very best standards, able to
house from 500 to 600 pupils. and at
Il cost, furnished and equipped Of be-
tween s175.O00 and 100000.
| The committee further recon-
mends that the North Grammar
| school building should have added to
it a new wing on the east side. prob
ably two stories in height to contain
four class rooi =, and the present
hallway and stairs rebuilt to correct
a very hazardous fire menace. New
windows should be built into what
are now dead ends, and the heating,
plumbing and ventilating should be
thoroughly modernized.
The Brook street school should be
enlarged to give additional space and
the roof redesigned and rebuilt to
guard against it's collapsing.
nnlyiY>cr nj tho f,,fI tho
mittee is convinced that Waterville
will have a steady and constant
growth. probably similar to that dur
ing the last 20 years. The Junior
High school building and the addi-
tion to the North Grammar school
. will correct only the conditions which
exist today. BY 1925 our present
High school building will have to be
enlarged by the addition OF a new
wing. and Grammar school will
probably have to be built at the
southern end of the city by 1925 to
take care of the fast growing popula-
tion in that section. This will take
$4,000 more. School needs will
| therefore take 100000 during the
| next five years.
AS a means Of financing. your com
mittee has been able. to discover no
easy way. We must pay for what we
have. 1t is not feasible to mortgage
the future very far ahead. Urgent
needs constantly arising in our city.
other than those connected with the
schools, must be met. This commit
tee recommends that we face the
facts as they are.
First, that we must have these
additions.
Second, that they must be paid for,
and
Third. that we must raise the
money by direct taxation.
We recommend that the matter be
worked out on three-year basis.
that the minds of our citizens be set
for an addition to the tax rate, and
that we go ahead and do what is
patent to everybody should be done
at once.

FINANCES OF
PATTERSON FEED

1t having come to the ears OF the
luncheon committee Of the Father and
Son banquet that the affair resulted
in some financial gain for the promo
ters, the following statement has been
made in regard to the matter. There
were 1872 tickets sold at IS cents each.
which yielded $144.
The expenses for the evening
amounted to $141.06, the bills showing
the following: For rent of Elks hall,
S25; to w. B. Donovan for services,
81; supplies for the supper. s97.5S. of
which $632S was paid to B. f. Steele's
market; kitchen help, $3.50; printing.
So; entertainment. So; miscellaneous.
s1.Ss. This left balance Of $2.94. OF
this sum $3.50 was returned to dis
gruntled guest as a return price for
two tickets. for which he felt he did
not get his moneys worth. That
leaves as a total balance $1.44. which
is to be turned over to the Salvation
Army.
The committee reported that at noon
of the day Of the banquet it was
doubtful if there would be more than
$50 or 175 present. But at night Deo-
pie came who were not expected and
more than the committee had antici-
pated. The menu Of the supper con-
sisted of soup chicken, potatoes. peas,
hot rolls, coffee, two kinds of cake
and ice cream.
