MILTON

Milton is being done and the bricl
work will begin as soon as this par
of the work is completed The dig.
ing of the basement is progressing
rapidly and the grading of the
grounds is in progress. The build
ing will be one of the finest and best
appointed in the county and situated
on beautiful site. bordering on
Lake Fangansylli, very scenic body
of water fringed with pines and oak
trees. 1t is hoped the wooded por-
ton of the property will be convert
ed into a park for the enjoyment of
the pupils. This can be done at lit
tie expense and will add materially
to the appearance of the site and of
real benefit to the scholars. There
is ample room for baseball, soccer
ana other outdoor sports, and an
G,4brtunity for grassy pits in the
front of the building that would make
this a beauty spot along the main
highway through the town. The To-
cal building committee, consisting Of
Frank r. Carey, Robert u. Lingo, Ell
mer DickersOn and Joseph NJ. IIank,
were in Dover on Friday in confer
ence with the State Board of Edu-
cation as to the building plans. These
men are public spirited and it is eX
pected that they will bend every et-
fort to make Milton's new school
one of the most convenient for the
education Of ur children as well as
beautiNing the surrundines.
