 Purchasing of the property of the
 Baptist church parsonage and the Church street by the Third School
 district, pursuant to vote at the red hot meeting of Wednesday night, started today when the searching of the titles began. It was first thought that the property of the Baptist church parsonage could not be bought as some difficulty developed several years ago when former sale was attempted. but this trouble did not appear at the present time. The property on which the church itself stands was given for church purposes only to the Baptist church society by the Crockett family. When the church was burned down several years ago, a movement came up little later to sell the property and move the church but one of the heirs of the Crockett family, Mrs. Ellen Judson of Orchard street, stood in the way. The parsonage was bought later by the church society and is not gov erned by the provisions of the Brockett bequest. The total purchase price will be approximately s25,000 for the two properties. The district has voted the sum Of s200,Oo0 for the land and the erection Of 12- room school on the site. petition, calling for a new meeting to rescind the action last "Wednesday, is being planned to start today about the dis triet as the decision of the meeting this meeting does not sit we'll in some quarters.
