MAY END STRUGGLE BY LAND DONATION
Anonymous CiYer Of Stafford
 School Site Reported Ready
PLAN FOR POLICE BALL
Committees in Charge are Announc- ed-CeOrSc s. Beach Elected Red Cross Chairman-Hish School to Enter IOurnamcnt-Elks Elect.

While residents Of the Stafford school district still disagree on the proper site for the proposed new school building for that section, 1t it is believed that the differences of opinion will be adjusted satisfac- torily by the donation of certain piece of land on Pennington ave- nue. It is intimated that the pro- perty in question will be offered to the district without cost, although school officials have refused to di- vulge the name of the district $ benefactor.
 The site recommended at a recent meeting Of the voters was on pro- perty on Pennington avenue owned by Alexander Harper. president Of the Bristol Brass corporation and the American Silver company of this city. A group of the Stafford residents objected to this location because of its proximity to the pres ent site and as a result of the objec- tion the first building committee was discharged and second one appointed. Alfred H. Tallis, spokes- man for the group in question, ex- pressed the opinion that the new building should be located some dis tance west of Mine brook. while others contended that the Harper site was admirably located.
 A meeting of the voters is sched- uled for the latter part of next week and it is expected that definite action will be taken at that time. Whether the donation of the site will have any bearing on the dis tricts action is problematical be- cause of hostility which has existed between the two opposing factions for the past several years.
