CHARLES KIMBERLEY DIES

CHARLES KIMBERLEY DIES Was Prominent in Many Crganiaa- tons ,.oycna Opens - Walker Norton Daes-R.orIan Ecscues Two GirlS-BristoI Notes.
 The new four room schoolhouse for the Stafford section of the city. the erection of which was approved by the voters Of the district several months ago, will not be available for use when the fall term opens in September because of the fact that final approval has not as yet been given by the building committee to the plans. It is understood that sev- eral plumbing changes have been re- quested by the committee, and the plans are still in the hands of Har- old A. Hayden, local architect.
 When the voters took action 10 provide proper facilities for the chl- dren of the district, it was anticipat- cd that the new building would be ready for occupancy this fall. The school enrolment has increased to such an extent that the old school building on Stafford avenue will prove entirely inadequate. according to residents of the district. The fact ] that the completion date of the | school is uncertain has prevented i the board of education from making an accurate appropriation for the city's share of the teachers salaries and the budget of the district still 1 remains an uncertainty also. The new school is to be located { on Pennington avenue in the heart of the district, on q state road which 1 IS kept open all winter and can be reached with considera bly, less diff culty than the old building. How ever, unless steps are taken to hurry the building program. it is probable that the children will be forced to use the old schoolhouse until late ! in the year.
