Old Fairiield County Bank Pro-
perty in Wall Street Being
Remodeled
/
The committee on schools of the
iBoard of Education negotiated a
lease of the old F‘airfleld County Na-
tional Bank property on Wall street
last Friday. with the owners, to use
the building as a temporary school
house. For some time the committee
has been looking ever likely ptaces
in which to hold sessions for the over-
flow of grammar-school pupils of the
First District and for a time the use
of the Town Assembly Hall was ser-
iously considered. There were many
objections to that location. the prin~
eipie one being to the entrance to the
building. So the committee investi-
gated further with the above result.
The lease is for one year with the
privilege of a removal for any term
desired. The rental of the property
is 850 a month.
Csrpenteri soon start Work re-
modelinmthe building and when they
have finished. there will be run:-
rooms‘ available for the pupils. each
one having seating capacity of from
35 to 40 children. This building will
take chiefly the overflow from Center
school. but there will be some schol-
ars attend who would have otherwise
gone to Over River school. providing
there had been room. The work of
making the building over will: be
completed. before the school V year
commences in September.
