Hopes of the school department

Monroe school section OF the city
that the new Robert j. Vance school
on Vance street would be ready fol
occupancy by the opening of the fall
term next Tuesday will not be real
lied and between 400 and 500 stu

on part time session plan. John
f. Downes, school construction su-
pervisor, does not believe that the
building will be completed before
October 1.
The school is being built by the
Hayes Construction Co of this city
and until recently it was thought
that there was a possibility of cont
pleting it before the opening Of the
term.
This Is expected to be the only
school which will be crowded to the
extent which will make necessary
the part time plan. The school has
been needed for some time but de-
lays made necessary by condemna-
ton proceedings on several pieces of
property held up construction at the

to do for water funds or parks or
anything Of that kind. That doesn't
