 In an attempt to elarify the school site situation, the voters of the sixth school district in Stafford have been notified of special meeting which will be held in the schooihouse at o'clock Saturday evening. It is | understood that the building conn | mittee, consisting Of District Chair
 man Carl T. Mahannah, J. C. Grif-
 fin and Eugene Marchand, will re-
 commend that property owned by Frederick J. Hiltbrandt located on the north side of Pennington ave- nue. between his residence and Boardman street be purchased. Mir. Hiltbrandt. it has been learned, has
 offered the site, which has a front
 age Of approximately 400 feet on Pennington avenue. to the district for s4,6O0.
 At meeting held by the district
 on Friday evening, March 15. the
 committee reported favorably on the purchase Of a site from Emil Red man, located on the south side of Pennington avenue between Brook street and Stafford avenue. The property, according to J. C. Griffin was offered for s3,500. Mr. Red man. however appeared at the meet
 ing and informed the assembled | voters that since making the offer, he had secured purchaser for his
 entire holdings in the district and
 the sale of any portion for school l purposes would prevent the deal ! from going through. In spite of his statement at that time, a vote was l passed authorizing the district Com-
 mittee 10 purchase the land in the 1 belief that Mir. Eedman would again | change his mind. He has failed to do so and because no written option
 on the property was secured by the
 committee, the Hiltbrandt site is now 1 proposed.
