 NEW SCHOOL TO BE
 INSPECTED LATER Public Not to See Linden Street
 Building Before Opening WANT. MAINS EXTENDED

Town Want Water and Other In,-
 provements-Registrars to Sit on Tuesday--Briefs.
 Because thetime before the open ing of the public schools is not far of and the new building on Linden street is not completed, a public in- spection of the Linden street school will not be held before the building Is used for school purposes. L. s. Mills. secretary of the town school committee announced this morning. It had been planned to hold 8 public inspection of the new building before school opened but there have been delays in the construction and the building will not be entirely com pleted when opened for school pur- poses on Monday of next week. When all fixtures have ben put in place and the building is complete in every respect, the public inspection will be held. The Linden street school was constructed primarily as a grade school but for the present will house in addition to a number of grades, the first year of the Plainville High school.
 sThe new school makes most at- ,tractive appearance and in the base ment contains two large play rooms, one for the boys and another for the girls. In addition there is the boiler room, a janitor's room and a huge coal bin. On the first floor to the right as one enters the building will be found a library and waiting room for the teachers. On the lt.t of the entrance there is waiting room and office of the principal There are also four class rooms on this floor. On the second floor of the building there are five class rooms, two in the front part of the building and three in the rear. The corridors are of fire proof construction and plenty wide enough to allow for coat racks on both floors.
 Rooms on the second floor will house the high school grades. MT. Mills stated today that eventually Plainvile will construct a ten-room building with an auditorium, to be used for the high school. It is be- lieved that the construction of a new building with the growth of the school will he saving to the town.
 At present it costs Plainville about $20,00 a year in tuition and trolley fares to transport High school stu dents to the schools in Bristol and New Britain. Last season more than 100 men and women attended the New Britain and Bristol schools. It is figured by the school committee that $5,000 a year can be savedtif Plainyille has it's own High school with 8 competent staff of teachers. Sending children to non-local high schools is an expensive proposition, Mir. Mills said.
 Want Water Mains Extended
 It was learned from an authentic source this morning that residents in the southern section of the city are planning to petition the Plain vile Water company for an exten- sion of the water mains from Hart's corner about a mile south. This section beyond Hart's has grown rapidly within the past year and the residents are without many of the modern improvements found in oth- CT parts of Plainville. With the water mains were first laid in Plain- vile it was not felt to be advisable to lay mains any further south than Hart's. At that time there were few homes beyond that corner and they were amply supplied by wells. Wells are still in use by these people but the lack of water is felt during draughts and many of the towns people there say they badly felt the need of running water. This section is also without gas and an effort may be made to secure an extension of the gas mains along with the water The section involved is sit uated between two towns, Southing- ton and Plainville, but still is with out the modern improvements of each.
