KING Reelected President Board of Edu- | cation. . | be appointed to the system for next ! vear should be in the hands of the board members at least a week in | advance of the meeting. { In answer to Mr. Day's request, | President P. F.

Secretary Burr who, with Mr. King and Mr. Holmes, :nake up the membership of the teachers com- mittce, said he would like to make one point clear which might be mis- tee goes into the facts about the ap- pointment of teachers and Mr. King's statement that Mr. Holmes | cachers would lieve that the lead pcople to be- committee is not Information on how the system was first originated was given by Supt. Holmes, who said that when the staft of teachers became so large that the comumittee was obliged to| spend much time on their sclection, Judge Gaffney worked out the pres- | ent system which he found was| lcgal and would save time. The board voted to present method and tha teachers | whose names were printed in the| Herald last evening were elected lol positions for next year.

Bleacher Question Mr. Ray, a member of the special committee appointed to confer with the park board in the matter of scats the annual New Britain and next fall reported that the commit- tece would appear before the board of finance and taxation with a re- quest for $7,500 which would go toward the payment for the con- struction of 6,400 seats. This with | 1,333 for which the park board al-| ready has an approprjation will |make a total of 7,733 additional seats. The report was accepted as | one of progress. It was learncd that |the bleachers could be ready for the | of August. Discussion of School Sales Declaring that that property| | which now houses the old Burritt | school at the corner of Main and | st Main streets should be saved as | an gmportant cog in the development of realty in the northern scction of |the city, Mr. LeWitt who was ap-| {pointed chairman of the committee to look into the matter of selling| the old Burritt, the old Lincoln | rect school and the old nnsseu! residence recommended, that no ac- | tion be taken on the sale of two of | them at this time. He recom- | mended that the Lincoln street | school property be put on the mar- | ket and sealed bids asked. The old Burritt school property a different matter,” Mr. LeWitt 1. e described it as a central | piece of realty which would develop with the city. “To divorce outselves | from this property would be an er- ror at this time for it will be an important development north of the | " he predicted. 1 Attorney Casale spoke against the “flat footed” policy. saying that the! committee should decide to put the| property on the market when the' proper price is offered instead of ! giving the public the impression | | ‘HE was proud of the business which bore his name. . . and practically his entire fortune was invested in it.

Wrrite or call for this booklet New Britain Trust his ambition that his sons should inherit this business was a natural one.” | Thanksgiving that the school board is taking the first step to discourage north end development. “The city is losing revenue by holding the property,” he said, “if we sell we will not only receive the purchase price but would also give the city the benefit of taxes.” Mr. LeWitt said it was not the sub-committee’s opinion that the property should not be sold but it felt that no action should be taken at this time. Mr. LeWitt suggested the place be used as a city parking station for the present. When question by Mrs. Mangan concerning the disposal of the old Bassett residence, Mr. LeWitt said that bids were asked for and when the time came when bids were to be opened there were no bids. The committee recommendations were adopted. A letter from the New DBritain Fresh Afr Camp, Inc, asking for a temporary house which is situated in the rear of the old Lincoln street school was referred to the finance committee with a request that it confer with the corporation counsel before it acts. The school accommodations com- mittce recommended that it be au- thorized to request an appropriation for $200,000 for the erection and follow the | game if ordered as late as the first | equipment of an elementary school to be located on Clinton street. Per- | mission was granted on the motion Mrs. Mangan, Miss Louis Bennett was granted additional compensation for services as acting principal of the Isracl Putnam school when favorablo ac- tion was taken on the teachers’ committee report. Mrs. A. E. Wallen wrote the hoard thanking it for its courtesy in | the matter of compensation for an injury received during the winter. School Calendar Adopted.
