Town Meeting Tonight
Both the opponents and opponents
of the proposed new school build
ing in kensington will come TO the
special town meeting tonight deter
mined to convince the people of
Berlin that their side OF the aues-
ton Is the one which should lie
followed.
The most important question i'll
the minds of the people # Berlin vi
the present time is tire school ques-
ton. The people of Berlin will hear
d recommendation from the school
committee asking that they sanction
an Appropriation OF $4,000 for q
new school which would house jun
ior high school pupils.
Those favoring the plan say the
kensington Grammar school is
crowded to its capacity and the
sanitary condition and drainage is
poor because Of the soil upon which
the school 10 built. 1t Is expected
that opponents Of this plan will
suggest that septic tanks be INSTALL
ed to take care Of the drainage and
that an addition of four or five
rooms to the kensington Grammar
school be built.
DcIbert X. Perry of NeNington, an
architect whose office il In New
Britain. drew up the plans. and
even those in opposition to 1t ex-
press satisfaction with the building.
The chief difficulty. however. IL
the expense Of constructing the
building and the great increase IN
the towns debt. A prediction was
made by a town official this morn
ing that the taxes will show a large
increase II the town approves the
recommendation.
Still Investigating

vestigating that Frank Laziana 81
