mer and the only solution left for the Twelfth district residents wa. | the erection of new building
 Several months ago the state board | of education was called in by How ! ard Andrews. who at that time wa. | chairman Of the district but since 1 depOsed MT. Andrews asked the | state board to instruct the city oi | Bristol 10 erect the school and as- sume the expense because of the fact that the district was unable tc 1 finance the new project. His re. quest was denied after it was learned that the taxpayers Of Fall Mountain had been assessed slightly over mill school tax for the past 70 years and number Of the property owners had failed to pay even this amount. Other districts in the city, it was pointed out. were paying from four to eight mills and an increase in the tax rate for the Fighting Twelfth" would not work hard ship.
 The new building. which will be modern in every respect. will be completed in February. according 10 present plans.
