The money obtained from the
$4,000 worth of bonds, which the
Board OF Freeholdsrs will offer for

the cost OF purchasing a plot OF
land in this city for a new voca-
tional school, according to Fl. Brew
ster Willis. secretary of the County
Vocational Schools, today. For
some time past the board has been
planning to relocate the school in
this city and having finally found a
plot of land that proved satisfactory
for the purpose, will purchase the
property and hold it until they are
ready to erect a suitable building.
The land which will lie purchased is
situated in New Brunswick avenue,
near the city hospital.
For some time past the school
here has been operating under diff
culties. due to cramped quarters, 1t
being held by the boaro that a build
ing at least twice the size Of the
demands of pupils. The present
school is located in Bertrand avenue,
where it is never seen by the gen.
era1 public, as 1t is tucked away in
a space surrounded by factory build
ings. Although there is considerable
land at the present location, Mr..
Willis declared today that tthe board
did not feet like spending 100000
tor additions to that site.
L. is the intention of the boar /
to purchase the land for the new
building, holding 1t until the present
building and lots adjoining can De
sold then to take the money this
obtained and invest it in the new
school. 1t is the belief that the
present building and site 1t occupies
will bring good price.
