PLATES MILLS HAPPY

The board of education met Monday afternoon and heard com plaints from residents of Chipman street, who object to having their children transferred from Tinker school to Barnard, not because of any fault to find with Barnard, but on account of the hazard in cross ing so many streets, and climbing back home up the steep grade. Henry Watterworth and others ex- ap1ained their point, and wanted to know the reason for the change. Superintendent Condon stated that already some of the children on Chipman street are attending Bar nard and besides Tinker is crowded and there is spare room in Barnard. After long discussion the matter was finally referred to the com mittee on rules.
 The schooIhouse committee re- ported on the Lincoln school question in a manner that pleased g delegation from Platts Mills. The school is to remain open, and will be conducted at greatly reduced cost to the city. The Bristol Com pany will reduce the rent, pay the water bills and other items of ex- PCHSO Oi COhuhtiOh bhbS sAhC Siey reconvey the land on which the school stands to the company free. The lot was donated to the school without cost by MT Bristol.
 Mrs Norton, speaking for Platts Mills residents said this was satis- factory to the people who have children in the district, and that all they need now to make their happiness complete is an assurance that they will have the same, teach CT that has been there for some time past. Nothing was done a- bout the teacher.
 These resignations and trans- fers make 1t possible to dispense with two double sessions, one in 7 Bishop and one in Chase school, and rearranging the schedule of sewing classes all told amounts to $6,090. These items and others sav- ed during the past half year re- duce the current expenses of the schools to over $20,000 without discharging .any teacher or impair ing the work in the schools.
 The committee on rules reported with reference to children attend- ing school outside their own dis trict that two petitions were granted for one year while the children are in kindergarten and grades one and two and five others granted without any limitation of time. Two other petitioners who live In the outside districts were given permission to send their children to inside district schools provided they paid the required tuition fee in advance.
