REJECTED THE CITY LOT
TIIE SELECTION OF A SCHOOL SITE
STILL A PBBPLBXINO QUESTION.
After a Spirited Discussion tho Voters of
the District infuse. by a Vote of 78 to
as, to Accept the Depart of the lpaclal
Committee, and the looting Adjourns.
A large number of representative tax-
payers assembled, Tuesday night, in the
Franklin street school hall and discussed
the question of a school site.
The meeting was called to order by
Clerk Nelson Dickerman, and by an
unanimous vote Senator John H. Ferris
was made chairman of the meeting.
After the call had been read by the clerk
a motion was made that it be accepted.
The motion was lost. A motion was
then made to adjourned, but was also
lost. Some one called for the reading of
the minutes of the previous meeting.
After the clerk had read them, Mr. Sla-
ter and several others thought the mat-
ter of a site should be thoroughly discuss-
sed. Upon motion. it was voted to recon-
sider the vote on the call. This was
done, and the call was accepted by a
large majority.
The next business in ,order was the
readingof the report of the committee
by R. H. Golden, chairman. The report
was favorable to the city’s lot at the cor.
nor of Clay and Franklin streets. Robert
Pearson moved to adopt the report, and
the motion was seconded. Then follow-
ed excitement and fun as the debate pro-
ceeded for and against.
E. A. Woodward spoke of the hard
times; be said the taxes would bedoubled
and that the city could not afford a new
school. He oifered a substitute, embrac-
ing in Iesolutlons these three things:
First, rooms should be rented to accom-
modate the present overcrowdedneas;
second, the districts should be consoli-
dated; third, all efforts to build a
school building at present should bestop~
pod.
Committeeman Light thought the ratio
lotions were not in order, as they did not
come under the call. The objection was
sustained, and the resolutions were not
considered.
Mr. Pearson then secured the floor and
remarked that “hard times" was a good
reason why we should build a school
house. Other communities were build
ing public buildings to give employment
to their citizens. and so should we. To
use the city lot would be the cheapest
way of securing a site. "If you place a
school to the northwest, said Mr. Pear-
son, “you couldn't till four rooms with
children;" to the southwest and south
there were even less children. it was
not proposed to build a high school, but
a school where the higher grades could
be taught.
Charles I". ilallock said‘he recognized
the need of more room, but was opposed
to the site. Moreover, the lot couldn’t
be bought from the city for less than
$6,000. To the north, where it school
was needed the most, a lot could be so
cured for $1,000.
Charles R. Townsend said that about
three hundred children, between the
ages of six and twelve years, woulilnt-
tend a school placed in the northwestern
part of the city. lie quoted resident“
as saying they all desired a school in that
locality.
John McMahon spoke of the undesir-
ability of a small school. “You can't
grade the children in a small school,"
he said, “and hence older children will be
held back with the younger. Besides, the
people of tiraniteville wouldn‘t send
their children to an Inferior school."
8. C. Palmer thought detached schools
made better citizens, and a resident of
(lraniteville wanted to know why a
school in that locality ought to be infer~
ior. Mr. Mahon replied that it would be
inferior, because the children could not
be properly graded.
Edwin Adams then made a strong or.
gument in favor of the city lot. He re-
viewed the history of school building in
South Norwalk for the past twenty
years. "When the (kineord street school
was first built." he said, “it was im-
possible to send children there. They
wouldn't go and their parents wouldn’t
send them. Some want so far as to say
that if their children were compelled to
go to the Concord school, they would
take them out of school altogether. its
school were built in Granitsville the
some trouble would result.” Mr. Adams
then spoke of the cost of the lot. “We
are the city,” said Mr. Adams. "if we
pay $0,000 to the city for the lot, we
still have the money, because we are the
r. Slater mood in favor of a site
in the vicinity of Falrilsld avenue, saying
that a school there would serve the
purpose hotter than a sbhool on Clay
sir-set. it would be cheaper and scholars
could be graded from it into the Franklin
outstation.
A "uncut of Granitsvills wastes to
know when they musing to eat
thematic: the Messed tangle
and that if it had common sense it
would have seiccud the lot corner of
may and West street.
Mr Adams asked if that was true,
why Mr. Rowan had appointed the com-
mittee. Mr. Rowan responded, saying
that he thought they had level heads.
The report of the committee was then
read again. and ballots passed around by
the tellers, lie-rs. Fools, Hoyt, Davis
and Townsend. The vote was as follows:
Total number of votes cast, 96; necessary
to a choice, ill; ysas,23; nose, 73. The
site was therefore rejected and the
meeting adjourned, sine die.
SANG AND THEN DANCED.
luiiy Three Hundred People IpJoy the
Germanic limerbund Sociable.
A most sussusful and enjoyable socia-
ble was given Tuesday night, by the Ger.
meals Smugerbund, fully three hundred
people being in attendance at their hall

lent oonoert programme was rendered,

ford, led by G. F. Men. and fourteen

astically encored. H. Kampf sang sev-
eral soles in his humorous way. Th.a

MAY CHANGE HANDS.
New York l'artlcs Negotiation for the
Purchaaa of the Tramway.
Negotiations are pending, it is said, for
the sale of the bonds of the Norwalk
Tramway company, and it will not be
surprising if the road changes hands be-
fore long.
ll. W. Mansfield, of Boston, treasurer
of the company, was in Norwalk yester-
day, and met representatives of Jones 8:
00., broken and bankers, of New York
city, who came to look over the line and
to make an offer for the bonds. No sale
was consummated, but the bankers
thought very favorably of the purchase
and were much pleased with the system.
Mr. Mansfield said that Mr. Jones was
here in person and that all of the gentle-
men had been taken over the road. He
said then- wus no secret about the mat-
ter, and that the strangers were in town
to bargain for the road.
The Norwalk Horse Railroad company
have also made a bid for the Tramway.
it has been known for some time that
the road would be sold at the first litur-
able opportunity.
