the Senior High school that large basement room which formerly housed the pattern shop of the trade school would have to be cut into tN o class rooms to accommodate increas- ed enrollments.
 ''Is that the last thing we can do 10 accommodate the students in the present plant?" Committeeman L, W, Young asked.
 Tt is the last thing. but 1t Is not much help 10 the health and happi- ness of the students" Supt Holmes declared. According to the superin- tendent the windows are more than six feet above the floor.
 Mr. Young asked if the proposed new building, which is to be con- stRucted on Bassett street between the vocational and academic build ings. would accommodate a much larger enrolment. He was told that with the new building a total of l. 500 pupils could be accommodated an increase of 600 pupils.
 X discussion Of other plans fol- lowed, but the proposal providing for q. new high school unit did not meet with favor since the members felt that increased overhead expenses would not be desirable. Using the trade school building on South Main street and building a unit some place else would accommodate 2,S0o pu- pils. fl was said.
 II seems to be the opinion of the committee that the junior high school situation would be met by making the Roosevelt school a junior high school plant and by making additions 10 the Smith school to take care of the elementary pupils who are now at the Roosevelt school.

BOOSTING ADOPTION 0F BUILDING CODE Supporters Believe Restrictions
 Are Needed by Town
 CONFIDENT OF VICTORY
Marriage License Issued to Local Girl-Large Attendance at Grange Chicken Supper - Town Nurse Meeting Scheduled for Oct. :.

Comment on the proposed adoption of building lines and the establishment Of building code, which will come before the annual town meeting within a few weeks, points towards the adoption of the recommendations of the committee appointed to draw up the code, it is said The committee, through the chairman, First Selectman George B. Carter, gave a report at recent special town meeting. pointing out the neetA of the town in regards to the establishing of a building com mission and the adoption of set of building standards to prevent hap hazard erection of structures. At that time the report was accepted as one of progress and the vote on the mat ter was postponed until future date. The question has been included in the call for the coming annual town meeting.
 Although opposition has been yoic- ed, the majority is reported to favor acceptance of the code in general and the appointment of a building commission and commissioner. Home owners after waiting for the report of the committee. delayed through unavoidable circumstances. are anxious that no time be lost now that the report has been submitted and, except for the reading of the code In full, are ready to accept the recommendation with few possible exceptions.
 Among the discussed points which will possibly be revised are those of the salary of the building commits sioner and the extent of power to be granted the commission in regard to condemned buildings. The committee which drew up the resolutions re- earding the building code submitted it with the understanding that it had been drafted from codes of nearby towns and cities and might, in sev- eral instances. prove less applicable to Berlin than 1t had to the town from whose code 1t was taken. Changes and discussion were vel comed by Selectman Carter in his report for the committee.
 A small element has voiced the opinion that the adoption of the resolutions submitted would prove too mandatory. While it is accept able in larger cities, Berlin is not. ready for it. they claimed, Support CTS of the move claim that the town has long needed the restrictions.
 The committee which drew up the resolutions has expressed the opinion that education of the dis senting factor regarding the pur- poses and goals of the proposed code would remove large part of the objection. The printing of the entire code. they claim. will bring a greater part of the objecting faction to the support of the issue.
