 Committee to Investigate
 At a meeting of the city council held last evening Judge Newell Jen- nings, acting as chairman of d special committee created by the board of education 10 find a suit able site for a high school building, appeared and requested an appro- priation of s14,0O0 so that 10 acres Of land on Burlington avenue could be purchased for the purpose The council, after considerable discussing of the proposal had been gone over decided that Mayor w. Raymond Crumb should appoint a committee to thoroughly investigate" and bring back a recomm mendation.
 Judge Jennings stated that it was only question of time when present high school facilities will be over taxed. Facts pertinent to the growth Of facilities were related by the judge as follows: "A recent very ac- curate survey of the growth in aver age registration each term for the past II years shows that there h, $ been an average increase in aver age registration each year of seven and seNen-tenths per cent. In other words. it shows that the school has been increasing each year on an average Of thirteenth over past registration. an increase that means Bristol high school facilities must be watched"

In 1881. the chart shows that S51 pupils will be re>.s- tered, with jump 10 1,660 nine years later. in 1940. The judge s.- serted: From figures presented by 1 Principal Henry Cottle, the maxi mum seating capacity for both the freshman and senior high school would appear 10 be 1,295. This will mean that our entire health school plant Of three rooms. two for pupils and one for food, will be placed goodness knows vhere-likely out Of commission as there will be no place 10 put them. Also. our music room Nill he used and there will simply be absolutely no room left. From these figures il will be ob- served that we will come into the 1295 mark sometime between 1936 and 'S1. and my original statement was that we would hit the maximum around 1935, which is still true if We save 70 the Bristol school system our health school rooms. and it would be an absolute calamity to
