SCHOOL TO HAVE ].
 ANOTHER ANNEX
Wing Will Be Constructed To Ensley High
 Building
(Ensley Bureau)

An a1nex to the Ensley High school is expected to be under construction within the next few weeks and ready for occupancy about the close of the term next year. Following the plans sug- gested by the survey of school condl- lions the board of education will build on the south side of the present -hlgh school. At this time the building has two wings with the auditorium in the center. The space provided by the ad- dition will, it is thought, give the school sufficient room to take care of existing reouirements and perhaps those of the next few years.
 The plans for the addition have been drafted and it is understood have been approved with minor alterations. It IS expected that a contract will be given for the work within few days after revisions have been completed.
 The present high school was con structed when Ensley was a separate municipality and was designed to care for 800 pupils. Since that time 1t has housed over 1000 and it is stated that the survey indicates that the enrolment this fall will exceed 1,700.
 The addition to the school will elimi- nate the netessity of renting several re- modeIed residences and will place the Ensley high school in a reasonably good position to take care of the local re- quirements.
