NO MOVE CONTEMPLATED AT PRESENT
FOR CONSTRUCTION new HIGH SCHOOL

1t has been rumored about the city
recently that a committee of the City
Government and the Augusta Board
OF Education was considering the
project of erecting a new high or
Junior high school building, and
many citizens have expressed sur
prise that no information on the pro-
posal had been given publicity. 1t was
the sentiment of these citizens that
as they were so vitality concerned
they certainly were entitled to infor-
nation on the status Of the matter,
and the situation existing.
AS a result of several inquiries re-
ceived at the kennebec Journal Office,
this paper investigated the circum-
stances and found that there was no
committee either Of the City Govern
ment or of the Board of Education
functioning and that there was no
contemplation of innaugurating such
a movement for a new school build
ing this year.
The budget for the school expenses
for the next year has been prepared
calling for a total Of about $4,000
which certainly does not include any
provision for new buildings. It was
pointed out by Mayor Ernest L. Nc
Lean. that the funds for the con-
struction OF new school house
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1924-04-09

would have to be raised by special
bond issue.
Chairman Frank Hewins Of the
Board Of Education stated that no
proposal was being considered by the
board at the present time, and he
did not anticipate that the matter
would be actively agitated for at
least another year. 1t is understood
however, that in his annual report
which will be presented at the annual
school meeting next April. Superin-
tendent Of Schools Fred w. Burfill.
will make certain recommendations
which will include one for the selec-
ton Of a committee to Investigate the
situation and procure an option on q
site for such a new high school build
ing to be constructed at some future
time.
The crowded conditions and made
quate facilities provided at the pres
emit Cony high school building have
several times been publicly called to
the attention of parents and voters
by Superintendent Burrill, Principal
Perkins, Chairman Hewins and other
members of the Board Of Education,
but so far the movement has been
only what might be characterized as
campaign of education to inform
the citizens of the needs due to the
continued growth of the city's Sec
ondary school department.

Mr.. Cony. The Kingfleld chapter has
invited the D. A. r. to hold its an
nual field day at Kingfield sometime in
July. An invitation has also been re-
ceived from Thomaston to hold the an
nual field day there on July rs. As
there is so much interest in the Knox
memorial Thomaston has a special
attraction to the d. A. r.
1t has been decided that both invi-
tations will be accepted and thus there
will be two annual field days in July,
the Kingfield date to be decided upon
later.
Much interest is being manifested in
the discovery at kingfield of the grave
of a woman who was in Boston at the
time of the Boston Tea Party and who
