BOARD OF FINANCE DISCUSSES SCHOOL Receives Plans for Addition But
 Takes No Final Action
 EIGHT ROOMS ARE SOUGHT school hoard Presents its Program Students Hone from College No Objections to Carnivals-Le. zion Meeting Tomorrow Night.
EIGHT ROOMS ARE SOUGHT

The town finance board met last night at the town hall to discuss an appropriation of $65.o00 for an nd. diti6n to be built onto the Kensing. ton Grammar school and $l0.0o0 to install a sewage disposal plant at the school. but no final action was taken. The plans were presented by Percy and Bishop of New Brit ain and will be acted on at a meet ing to be held in the near future.
 The plans call for an eight-room addition to be built on the east side of the present structure. In addi- ton to these. eight class rooms there will be a gymnasium. two locker rooms, offices for the principal and the nurse. and domestic science room. It is planned to remove the present boiler room and enlarge the room SO as to be able 10 install a cafeteria for the benefit of the teachers and pupils.
 The complete building would make the Junior high school one Of the best in this section of the state for the town of the size of Berlin.
 The sewage disposal plant is . separate item and wiu cost about s1o.o0o. This is necessity in order to conform with rules of the state board of health and education Whether or not the plans for the ad- dition are accepted, it will be nec- essary for the disposal plant to be installed.
 Residents in various parts Of the town are heartily in favor of the new plans offered by the school board. They feel that an addition will take care of the crowded con- ditions at other schools in the town. While there are fewer pupils en- rolled in the town than at any time during the past few years. there Is a larger enrolment at the Ken- eington junior high school and the Kensington grammar school than there was last year.
 With the use of the portable building and the basement of the grammar school building. parents and teachers have combined in com batting conditions and work toward relieving them. The portable build- ing was built some years ago and was not erected with the purpose of continual use. It was thought at that time that a new building would be built and that the portable one would not be used much longer than two years at the most.
 The question on the lips of many of the residents of the town is what to do with the land purchased last year for the purpose of build ing a school. which proposition was defeated at the last special town meeting. The land was bought with the understanding that a school he erected upon it and the voters at that time passed on the proposal. At the last town meeting the proposal that A school be built on this lot was soundIy defeated. As the purchase of the land was the wish of the voters at that time. town officials refuse to take any responsibility for the mat ter.
 The finance board will meet next Ghursday night at the town hall to
