MAY CONSTRUCT A
 NEW SCHOOL HERE Board FaYOrs Building for
 Christian Lane District WANT PEOPLES OPINION
Finance Board Appoints Committee To Secure Advice - Convention Delegates Appointed--sfasquerade
 A Success-Other Items of Interest

A new school is needed in Berlin, in the opinion of the Berlin school board, as expressed at 8 meeting last night in the office of the town clerk. The new school, should a recommendation meet with the ap- proval O. the taxpayers, would be erected in the Christian Lane dis trict to take care of many children in that section and also to relieve congestion in the Beckley district. The discussion last night favored the erection of a new structure, but the board desires to secure the opinions of residents of Berlin and today it was announced that the board will appreciate an expression of opinion by various taxpayers. It is probable that one of two plans would be followed in the erec- ton of a school. Either a two room school would be built, with extra plans for two extra rooms, or four room school would be con- structed. The latter, complete with all equipment, would total about $50, ,00O, but a two-room school, also fully equipped, would reach about $14.000.
 The erection of such a school fin this district, 1t is pointed out by the board, would remove a danger, in that it would take away the small rbiIdrpp frnu, tI,n Ignrnirr4 o- ..,..., making it unnecessary for them to travel through the railroad under pass It would also relieve the town Of transportation costs from the Pennington avenue district to the Grammar school and would relieve congestion in the Beckley district, doing away with transportation from Christian Lane to Bockley also. The board believes from a point of
 Hew or accommodations and also of
 safety for the children, that the
 schools should be brought 10 the
 children, not the children to the ! schools.
 Board Elects Officers
 Officers of the board were re-
 elected last night. This was the first meeting of this body for the year. & Chase Coals was chosen president Ernest W. Mildrum, vice-president
 Stanley Galpin. secretary. and Franklin \. Bacon, treasurer. The appointment Of members of snb-comnittees will be announced at the next meeting. These appoint- ments are made each year by the chairman Of the board.

TO ERECT BLEACHER SEATS AT ST. MARY'S
BesSe Club Plans to Start Season
 on May 4 at Home

1 The Bcsse- Leland baseball club which is entered in the Connecticut State league, will play its first home game-not a league contest-on May at St. Mary's field and before that time bleachers to accommodate 150 persons will be erected. The team plays its first practice game this Sun day in Bristol, with the New De- partures as their opponents.
 The management today gave out the following lineup for the first game:
 Catchers-Carpente Schroeder.
 Pitchers-Palmer, Berg, Scott
 First Base-Veilke.:
 Infielders-Budnik. Nom Begley, Holcomb, Bill Fitzpatrick.
 utficldcrs-Landry, Goeb, Green, Ray Begley and Paul Snyder.
 It will appear from the above line up that the old Besse-Leland team has not been kept intact, that many shifts have been made and that q number of players have either been dropped or have failed to appear. Also, several shifts in affiliations are noted.
 For instance, Berg pitched last year with the Corlhn Red SoX and Paul Snyder was an outfelder with the same outfit.
 Ray Begley has been shifted from first base, in favor of Neilke of Meri- den, and will get a chance in the outer garden. lIolcomb is a former New Departure player and Scott is a pitcher who formerly worked in the Green Mountain league.
