 X meeting of the voters of the 18th school district Of Forestville will be held at s o'clock next Thurs day evening, May 20, to discuss once more the purchase of q school site south Of the railroad tracks to ac- commodate the children living in that end of the town and who now attend the school located on Acad- eny street in the north end.
 Two previous meetings have been held on this matter. At the first one in November Of last year, q committee, consisting Of William II. Plummor, John kaichcr and Ernest Ieast, was appointed 10 look over several available sites and secure prices from the owners. This they did and al a meeting held in De- cember submitted their report with recommendation that land now owned by Edward Sheeran and Nellie Domaine on Pine street be purchased if the two parties in ques- ton could be persuaded to sell at what the committee thought was reasonable figure. The price asked for the Sheeran land was s3,000, while the figure set on the Donahue property by the owner was sc.@50. This the committee felt was con- siderably too high and in their re- port recommended that condemna- ton proceedings be started and car ried through if the owners refused to be reasonable,
 They also reported on the Mitchell property located at the corner ot Fine and Central streets and on property of Cornelius B. Daley on Central street. The owners of the first mentioned tract would not sell the desired strip and they felt that Mr. Daleys price was entirely out of reason and his sic not as desirable as the Shreran- Domaine property. After considerable discussion. they were instructed 10 interview tn" owners Of this property again and see if their price would not be low cred However both Miss Domaine and Mir. Shecran have stuck 10 their original figure and been awaiting the beginning of condemnation pro ceedings.
 Il is understood that the commit tee appointed on the site question endeavored to pass the matter orcr 10 the school commiuee 10 sta1, condemnation. but were told that they could do nothing without tho consent of the district voters. For this reason a meeting has been called for next Thursday night.
 Many Of the voters at the las meeting favored acquiring a schoo' site on the north side Of Pine street. due 10 the fact that within the ncxr two years it is planned 10 make that street a state road, When this takes place. most of the traffic passing through the center of Forestyille cn route 10 Bristol or Plainville will l., diverted to Pine street. which will make 1T extremely dangerous for the youngsters crossing the street.
 Just what action will he taken is prohlematical hut it is not believed that the voters will sanction the condemnation of any land on ac- count of the large amount of ex- pense involved in carrying such pro ceedings through the various courts. Many feel that it it is decided 10 ac- quire the Sheeran and Donahue land, it would be cheaper a great deal in the end to pay the prices asked.

White. charg- cd with reckless driving and operat- ing an automobile under the in- huence of liquor on last Monday night, May 10. when he struck trolley car at the corner of Main street and Riverside avenue, was continued for a third time by the prosecuting attorney until next Mon- day morning.
