SCHOOL VOTE
FOR MATAWAN
Borough Citizens Oppose
Additional Appropriation
of $25, 900

MATAWAN, Dec. 19-Thirty-hve
citizens last night cast ballots in
the election held in the high school
and authorized the completion of
the new school building at this time.
a total OF $4,000 had already
been appropriated for the new
building, but it was found that\ this
amount was $4,000 short of the
necessary amount needed to com
plete the entire building and fur
nish 1t.
The Board of Education after
much debate, decided that rather
than only half complete the school
1t would be better to try and COM
plete the entire building at the one
time. The citizens of the borough
and township last night by a vote
of twenty-three to twelve authorized
the additional appropriation of S25-
600 for the building, which will
mean that it will be entirely com
pleted at the cost of $175,000.
This school which was designed
by J. Noble Pierson & Son of Perth
Amboy, will be one of the finest in
Monmouth county and a great credit
to this borough. The construction
work is being done by the George
w. Mercer Construction Company
of Perth Amboy. The school build
liz will be wished and ready for use
by the fall term.
