’ * ON KIDNAPING CHARGE NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, JANUAKY 2, 1925 WANT GAHPLAND FOR SCHOOL DEPT Board Hints Condemnation Pro- coodings Will Be Bronght Newington, Jan. 20—Negotiations have again been opened by the # school b@ard with Misses Mary and T.aura Camp for the purchase of a strip of property belonging to them which adjoins the Elm Hill school. ‘The.beard feels that a larger play- ground should be available for the children and it is also looking into the future when an addition will be necessary at the school. The property has a 150 foot front. . on Maple Hill avenue and a pth of about 400 feet, extending through to [Eleanor Place. The school board has been attempting to purchase this property for the pa® two or three years but as yet is un-| successful. The owners refuse to set a price on it, preferring to have the hoard make an offer. At the last meeting of the school hoard a conwnittee composed of Mrs, V. Woodruff and Miss Anna Kel- logg_was appointed to confer with the Misses Camp on the purchase of the property. The owners have un- ofticially been approached but refuse to change their attitude. Several| members of the school board are in favor of bringing condemnation, proceedings and if negotiations fail this method may be resorted to. It is understaod that the board has also made an attempt to pur-| chase property on the south side of the building but this property is not as well adapted to the purposes. The Elm Hill school is filled to ca- | pacity even with the twp sessions which have been instituted since the Christmas holidays in the first and | second grades.
