A warm school meeting, for which
the hot weather of the past few DAYS
Will IN no way be responsible, is
scheduled for this evening in the
auditorium OF the Church street
school. when voters of The Third
school district will meet to consider
the advisability of resembling Il vote
taken at the annual meeting two
weeks ago, which authorized the
school committee to purchase land
on Crown street for the districts
future needs. The land in question
| Is owned by Joseph p. O'Connell and
Robert J. Stack and the purchase
price named was $4,000,
Although the minutes of the an
nual meeting indicate that the ma
lority of the voters present at that
time, voted in favor of the purchase
OF the land in question. a number
nave commended that steam roller"
| methods We're used and that INSULT
cient time was given for remarks on
| the motion. Others have stated thai
| the land in question. which is locat-
| ed near the dividing line of the
Third and Twelfth school districts, is
too near the district boundary to be
| feasible for a school site. At any
| rate, few days after the meeting
petition, signed by 20 voters of
the district, most of whom reside in
the territory which would naturally
be served by the new schoolhouse,
! was presented to the district conf
mittee and the call for the special
| meeting was then issued.
Leading the opposition to the site
| in question is Sperry Mastrobattisto.
a. local contractor who was lnstru-
mental in the petitions circulation.
He owns considerable property in
the district and it is understood has
/ offered it at what he terms rea-
sonable figure to the special COM
| mittee appointed by the district to
select a site.
1t is very probable that other sites
will be offered to the district at to-
nights meeting. 1t is understood
that many in the district believe
that land owned by DR. b. B. Rob-
bins, located on South street extern
sion, is the best adapted for the new
school and q suggestion TO this eff
feet will be made to the voters.
Joseph P. O'Connell, one of the
owners of the land which it was
ing. presided at that meeting as
| chairman.
