 A new schoolhouse on Pine street, Forcstville. will soon be in the process of construction, bids having been asked for by the building com mittee vest erday following q meeting held on Monday evening. The plans, which were drawn by Edwin Burr, a native of ofreStville and a gradu- ate of the Forestville school, call for the construction Of two story brick building, containing eight grade rooms and q lInderga II en. The amount appropriated hy the voters at the annual meeting in June was si5.0o0, this amount to include all heating. lighting and plumbing fix lures and classroom furniture.
 The proposal 10 provide school facilities south Of the railroad track and the ForeStville center was first brought up about year ago by resi- dents of that section, who dislik cd the idea of their children passing through the center where traffic is heavy practically all through the day. At that time land committee 1 was appointed to look up a site and short time later that body recom- mended the purchase Of the two ad- lolnlng properties of Edward Sheren and Miss Nellie Donahue. The voters were given 10 understand at that time that the purchase of the site did not necessarily mean that a school would he erected i'm mediately but it would be available when it was decided to build. At the June meeting, however. the mat ter Of new school was again brought up and it was at that time that the residents Of the district voted the appropriation of s75,0OO. { Figures submitted by Superintend- | cnt Of Schools Karl 4. Reiche under date Of January 19. 1927, indicated that the actual increase for the past i If years in school pupils at the For 1 cstville school has been at the rate Of G.S per cent each year. The to- tai seating capacity of the present grade school is 5l3 while the kin d"rgarten has a seating capacity of 1 56. Figures on the basis of the in- crease for the past fl years indi- cate, according to Mir Rcichc that ' in 1885, the shortage of seats in the present building would be 3l5. ! Figures submitted this year at the : opening Of the fall term, however showed that the school enrolment was less than it was at the end ot the spring term in June.
 In the event q building can bs erected according to the plans and specifications and properly equipped tor the amount appropriated, the contract will be awarded at once Just as soon as the building is com pleted. it will be occupied, according to Julius Ii. Warner, chairman Of the district committe. He believed that for the present school year | however no additional teach CTS would be required due to the fac, /, that at present some of the lower grades each have two instructors The expense Of additional teachers las not been included in the school budget for the present year and nc appropriation has been made by the city for any additional teachers. I, is probable, however, that if addi- tional teachers are required, the cX- penSe involved will be taken care oi by a special appropriation. Mir Warner also believed that at the opening of the fall term in 1927. tn, new school would house eight grades in addition 10 the Kindergarten which would mean the employmen' Of several new teachers.
 The building committee consists O. | Harry N. Law, William l.. O'Connell Miss Nellie E. Hills and John J Kaicher. The district committee i comprised of Julius Warner a! chairman. John E. Roberts ant Arthur N. ManroSs.
