 Must Have Permits For Field Permits must be obtained by teams wishing 10 use the high school or Linden street school grounds for athletics according to a statement issued today by the school department. The statement is as follows:
 The school committee, at it's reg ular meeting voted that all teams except the high school teams, using the high school or Linden street grounds for games, may do so only on permit issued previous 10 each game by the secretary of the school committee, and that Si be charged for each permit. This action was E 1E of broken glass from the soda water Eottles which were found on the fields on Monday mornings, This glass is extremely dangerous if al lowed to remain on fields where small children play during the week {; also the fields were strewn with papers and other rubbish to the eX- tent that it took one person half a day or more to clear them up on Monday.
 Tn connection with football the high school boys frequently have to make repairs to their goal posts after these games, and the lime lines for the gridiron usually have to be reestahlished. For these reasons it seemed to the committee that it was necessary 10 collect enough revenue 10 save the town from the continual expense of keeping the fields clear and to reimburse the high school boys for their extra material. It has been suggested that a permit be required of those selling refresh- ments on the fields. However, this has not yet been voted by the com mittee.
 "The committee requests that reasonable care be taken in order rot to break windows in Iind' street school building. and if, in connection with these games, people persist in forcing their way into Lin den street school building as was the case last year, 1t may become necessary 10 increase the permit sui ficiently to cover the expense of an officer to guard the school property.
 This is no reflection on any of the teams that are using the fields, as it is always necessary that fields be cleaned after a game and put in shape for future work"
