The board will meet on Friday evening, March 4, at the office of | the town clerk to consider offers of s-parate parcels of ground for the| use of the school board in its ex-| tension plans. One piece of proper- | ty has already been announced as heing proterred to the school board, | 2 plot of about three-quarters of an | owned by Albert E. Norton a| from Farmington | avenue, near Christian lane. This property, with the others will be Jjudged by the officials in an effort 1o find the most acceptable among| those oftered. | The board will probably have no! trouble in receiving offers for grants | of property as the acceptance of | property will lead to the acceptance of the street upon which the school is located and the Installation of water and gas. Mr. Norton's land lies in a sec- tion which has been developed and| which would doubtlessly recelve | benefits through the erection of a| school. It is thought that many| r property owners will greet with open arms the chance to bring the school into their district. | The school board is considering| the advisability of erecting one or| 1wo buildings of the same type as Js| now In service at Blue Hills. The| Blue Hills building has proved sat-| isfactory to both the residents and | the school board and it is generally | Dbelieved that further extensions in! the building direction will be based | on this standard. The question of further housing capacity for school children was| brought up by Superintendent of Schools Mary E. Griswold at the last | town report in which she pointed | out unfavorable conditions existing. The school board took up the ques- | tion soon after the meeting and has| discussed the situation from the financial standpoint until now it is ready for field work to ascertain the best possible situations for pro- posed new buildings, The question will probably come before the vot-| ers of the town at the next annual town meeting.
