The plans are being drawn up by Perry and Rishop of New Britain and will be submitted to the school board at the June meeting of that hoard. Members of the board and the architects are workigg in conjunc- tion with the state board of hflhh on the problem of proper drainage snd sewage for the new building. Flush toilets, modern in all details, will be included in the plans and also will be ‘ncluded in the present building, under the plans of -the building. The school board is trying hard to patisfy the voters of the town with the proposed building and it is along the lines of the addjtion proposed at the last meeting, that steps are be- ing taken. At the last meeting of the voters of the town. the proposal of the school board that a school be built at a cost of $130,000 on the land purchased a year ago for the pur- ose was defeated. ‘With the propo- sition that the school hoard is work- ing on at present, there is every ev- fdence that the plot of land purchas. ed by the town at the vote of the people may never be used for that rpose. vu’r‘; achool problem has been source of much comment and much controversy among the voters and townspeople. : The achool hoard some time ago propésed to the voters that a achool be erected at a cost of $130,000 on the Alling lot.

This brought in the same proposi- tion at the second meeting and it was again overwhelmingly defeated. At this meeting it was voted that an addition such as the school hoard is now werking on be erected. The re- sult of this meeting w declared | fllegal by Judge B. F. Gaffney, as the authorization of bonds for the expense of the addition would mnot go through the proper channels. The statement of Chairman Stanley L. Galpin today was the first te be made since the matter was defeated at the last meeting. It was threugh him that the pres- ent plans of the school board were made public. 1n regird to the action of Ernest W. Mildrum in retiring from the school board. Mr. Galpin stated that his resignation was a great loss to the board and that in the past Mr. Mildrum had been an important and needed worker on the hoard.
