 Action on the proposal to erect an eight room addition to the John J. Jennings school on Burlington avenue will be taken at a special meeting of the voters of the First School District, to be held tomorrow evening in the Federal Hill school.
 For the past two years lack of facilities at the Burlington avenue school has necessitated sending 8 number of children residing in that section to the Federal Hill school. This arrangement caused no incon- venience until this year when the Federal Hill school became over crowded. When the fall term open ed it was found that almost 100 pupils who lived on Burlington ave- nue and who should attend that school were forced through lack of room. to attend the Federal Hill school.
 In the event the voters decide to erect the proposed addition. bids will be solicited at once and the contract awarded at meeting to be held within the next month.
 For the past several months the question of establishing the dN- trict lines of the Federal Hill and the Stafford districts was considered and at one time it was proposed to extend the Stafford district as far as the top of Martins Hill. Had this proposition been carried out. . school would have been erected in the vicinity of Jerome and Farm ington avenues. The proposed ad- dition to the Jennings school will, however, eliminate the necessity of re- establishing the district bounda- ries and all children living west of Jerome avenue will be cared for in that school.

 Warming Signs Placed
 To eliminate the danger to chill 1ren crossing North street in the vi- cinity of the North Side school, the word Stop" in large yellow letters has been painted on the pavement near the corner of West street.

 Objection to Gas Station
 A strenuous objection to the loca- ion of gas station at S7 Wash. ngton street. Forestville has been foiced by several property owners in he vicinity and petition has d. 'eady been circulated. This will be presented at a public hearing in the .ity court room at 3 o'clock tomor- 'ow morning. Those objectins to the granting of he application of Oscar Ebb point ut that a gas station at the point in question would constitute . nuisance, would lower property values and would increase the traffic hazard.
