To Recommend New Praperty, Chairman.'Traut of the committee on school ‘accommodations exhibited a map of property west of the Smal- ley school which can be purchagéd from the B. Clark estate for $4,000 and which, from the present outlook of conditions in this section, will be needed for school purposes anduntil that timg can be used for play- grounds. There are two acres of land on the proposed slte. It was voted that definite steps,be taken to pur- chase the land. . 'Other Land Considered. '’ President Gaffney spoke at Jlén of a parcel of land on Mill and S Main streets containing fifteen acres oilet Preparatinns e used by t.b'owwhoél.re—nenpmeunuy stands f i dy s ;5 YR alaias weu 300 250 : | that can be purchased rrom Joseph Towers for $6,000, and which would make an ideal location for a play- ground.

The property has‘two houses and a,mnd bank lo- : cated on it. The. prlce,he\ considered reasonable and the sand bank could be utilized to grade it and place it in nhape "Dr. Kelly said it was'a fact that in ¢ ort time there would be néed for ; L school in this_section of the city. Mr. Pease disputed the right of the committee to purchase property for playground purposes. He thought the board was going beyond’ its jur- isdiction in the matter. Dr. Martin did not think the land | sultable for athletic purpose with its. sand ‘bank. ‘He =aid it was hllly and low in places and grading it withsand’wowa not proveésatistac- factory. He .thought the athletic council better Judges to advise on an athletic field, He said if the board wanted to suggest an athietic field it would 'be bette¥ to 'go’ down further to the "FlAta," but if it /'was consid- ering the llnd for school .purposes it was- all_right: ‘Mr. Pease said it was too neartown | line. and was certain that a school would never be biuilt so_close to the line.

( The board voted favorably on tl\ej recommendations ‘of the committee on teachers and the teachers as published recently ‘were adopted. Repnm on beMngs Bank Accepted, Mr; ‘Goodwin chairman of the com- ! mittee on the proposed savings bank system for the public schools, brought in the following’ réport. ¥ The' Purpose: ’ To ‘@fford for pupils of grades seven and eight a ‘practical | experience in the'ordinary transac- tions of banking, i e,/ methods of making deposits and, withdrawals, the Bctumulation and. computatjon of, in- terest on, deposits; etc. To afford the DUPil Popelinity for application of bookkeep- ing. accounting; etc. to real' problems arising out of actual business transsde- ! 5.

Depositors having “‘$1 or more as deposit may open an ‘account at the bank chosén . as a depository for school bank funds and a regular depositor’s pass-book lsapad therefor, Mr/ Pease did not favor the idea ot pupils using time during study periods for depositing money. Superintendent Holmes said that in | other citfes where the plan is carriea out, no trouble is experienced. He thought the same condition would i prevail in the local schools. Dr, Martin said that if any extra time Was put on the teachers regard- 1 ing. remaining after hours to accept . deposits they would be soon looking ! for anvincrease in salary. { _The report of Chairman Goodwin vas adopted‘. i Watér a “‘Nuisanee. President Gaffney, repomd that E. ¥, Eichstaedy, member of the Ger: man Baptist} cnurchi on Elm._street, | next to Prdvocatignal school, haa lodged : complaint) with him in re- gard. to water which floods the alley- { way betwcen the church and. the | school, which belongs to the city. He thought it was a matter for the beard of public works or the health board to straighten out. On motion of Dr. Martin it was voted to refer it to the finance com- mittee of the hoard. Complaint Against Other Fellow. President Gaffney reported that a | Mr, Felneman, who resides near the | Northend school, had dug a ecellar on a line immediately adjacent to school property, thereby leaving a bank which is slowly moving away, and is dangerous for children. ! The matter was discussed at length, and it was decided to have the corpor- atifn counsel and the finance com- mittee iake the matter up with M Fieneman,, and see if he would p his share toward erecting a retain- ing wall, The School Schedule.

A1 DING, DING, THIS GAR FOR NORTHWEST |} Council Gives Conpecticut . Go. Permission to Bulld Line Another stee! link that =~ wil strengthen and build up the eity was forged last night by the common council when it granted the Connec- ticut company permission to extena the trolley system through the north- west section. Men who have workea for the extehsion for years were pres. ent when the council withouit a dis- senting voice granted the request ot the trolley company. The omly peint in dispute was ths adoption of a plan for the construc- tion of the liné at the corner of Main and Myrtle streets and this was not sufficient to cause ‘even a_ ripple on the surfage. Two plans had’ Beén prepared by Chief Engineer W. C. Dunharm’ of the Connecti¢ut’ cosmpany 2nd ‘the second, or substitute plan, was adopted, making it unnecessary to take a large amount of the side- walk in front of the Hotel Bassett. ~Maps of the extension weré ex- amined by the council during & five minutes recess' and then a resolu- tion from the board of public wdrks calling for the granting of permis- sion for the construction of the sx- tension wes adoptéd on recommenda- tion of Councliman George M. Lan- ders. P Company to Pay All Expenses. Thé Connecticut company is to re- imburse the city for .all damages in curred by taking sections of.the side- walks at the corners of Main and Myrtle sireets and Broad and Grove streets. The company is also to pay for the re-location of manholes, dam- age trees, etc, and to place the streets in good condition after tae work is completed. Poorest Troliey System in New England Ex-Councilman Willlam J. Farley who = has .been champion of the exiension, spoke in favor of the line. He classified New Britaln as the poorest trolleyed city in New Eng. land. When this’ city had 20,000 people it had four lines; today with over 50,000 peeple it has only five lines. This Jine, he said, would open up the most beautiful section of the | city and would enable many mors péople to own their own homes, the ideal way to live. Attorney M. H, Camp also spoke of the great need of the extension. No Dela¥ Anticipated, President Humphrey of the board of public works spoke of the course the plans for the éxtension had taken. A plan was.adopted, he said, whien would probably eliminate 'any delay because of conditions undesirable to property owners at ‘the corner ot Main and Myrtle streets. In réply to a question by Councilman Degnan, President Hurhphrey said it was first proposed to cht nine feet off the sidewalk at that corner but a better place was tinally adopted. Councilman Landers at the requut. of Corporation Counsel J. E. Coeper introduced a ‘resolution authoriziag, the mayor and corporation counselito modify any conditions meoud by the city. Judge .Cocper explained that the conditions had not been submitted to bhe Jegal department of the Con- cut company and .a few minor 1 changes ma; be necéssary thout the city abandoning any of its rights or reéstrictions.

Should the city construct extra subways to accommodate more power traffic in the future, the wires will be taken down and run in the subways.
