In response to a suggestion of the board of finance and taxation, the school committee met yesterday aft ornoon and adopted building pro- gram emphasizing what the board considers it's immediate needs, and
 which calls for an appropriation Of S577,000.
 The finance committee will be given a hearing next week and will present this program together with request for s19.S46 for changing the heating systems al the Monroe. Northend and Lincoln schools. The sub committee will also ask an ap- propriation of 5000 for a cafeteria
 for the senior high school, but will go before the board of finance and taxation without unanimous approval of the school board Committeeman
 F. N. Pratt having offered strong op- position.
 The committee on school accom- modations submitted the following program al yesterdays meeting and it was adopted:
 Tn accordance with vote passed at the last meeting of the school board. we appeared before the board of finance and taxation Monday eye- ming. February 1. and requested ap- propriations for addition to Smalley school, site for East end school, and city's share Of the cost of new heating plant for the Camp school.
 We were questioned as to why something was not done to meet school needs n other districts, and explained that on account of action taken at a previous meeting Of the city meeting board. we felt that the city was not prepared to proceed with a building program which would immediately meet our needs and that consequently we were endeavoring to bring up one thing at a time, fin order that each might receive separate and undivided attention.
 The mayor explained that il was not the intention of the city meeting board to interfere with the school board in meeting its real needs, even
 1T it were necessary to bring up sew eral projects at once. The chairman VI Nlfb tAlh tA iAihllIi dilu AdAdAiOH inquired from each member of the board Of finance and taxation as to his views and it was the opinion that VIC should bring in a program at this time which would enable us to meet the needs of all the school children, providing accommodations for every child and dispensing with the use Of portable buildings The mayor stated that he was mol in favor of the con tlnucd use of portable buildings.
 Accordingly, thu school accommo- cations committed met Tuesday. Feb ruary 5. and carefully analysed fhe needs in tho different districts. We recommend that inc following pro- gram bc adopted and that the board of finance and taxation be requested 10 provide funds for carrying it ont al the earliest date possible.
