NEWBONDISSUE
- Matter of Ofiering $250,000
Bonds for New Buildings
Comes Up for Vote
in October.
RELIEVE CONGESTION
Program Calls for Three
Schools-Delay Will Mean
Three Years Wait.
At the Board of Education meeting
to be held next Tuesday night. the
board will probably consider methods
by which the recommended 8:50.000
bond issue for construction of new
schools will be placed before the peo-
ple of Norwalk.
The bond issue bill was passed by
the last. session of State Legislature
with the proviso that a referendum be
taken relative to the issuance of the
bonds. This referendum vote will be
taken in October at the city election.
If the bond issue is not favorably
acted on. at least three years or more
will pass before the congested school
conditions can be relieved.
Besides the proposed 8250.000 bond
issue. there is another bond issue of
8100.000 pending. This was approved
both by the State Legislature and int-
er by a referendum vote of the poo.
ple several years ago. For various
reasons. however, the bond issue was
never used.
The program of the Board of Edu-
cation calls for the construction of
tin-ea new schoolhouses. one to he to-
ad in Broad River; 'a. second in the
' =2 ‘ .zwx‘tlird in
ma r'iaukiin schooi‘ district. ’11..
program further calls for the con-
struction of a two-story building in
the rear of the present High school
in \Vest avdliuo.
The Board of Education plan calls
for a gymnasium and an auditorium
in the High school annex. With this
annex. the auditorium in the present
High school building is to be divided
into three school rooms. a lunch room
and a domestic science room. This
additional space will meet require-
ments at the High school 1hr several
years to come. .
Considerable difficulty is being en-
countered by the committee on new
schools in securing a suitable site in
the Second district for the proposed
new school building. There are only
a few available sites and the owners
of these are reluctant about dispom~
ing of their property. Other sites
that can be obtained are too small.
A suggestion of an addition to the
Franklin school has met with dis-
approval of the board who feel that
that old school building is too far
gone for,that purpose. It is said that
the rear of the building is in such a
condition that it would be necessary
to tear it down and put up an entire-
ly new structure. an expensive pro-
position.
Superintendent of Schools G. V
Buchanan said 'this morning that oth.
er important matters would come up
before the next board meeting.‘ The
teaching staff will ,probably be dis-
cuued at some length.

Subsequently Commissioner Mac-

ittrated this statement and added
that it was not necessary for thel
spokesmen for Fairficld county to
present arguments to him to convince
him as to what is needed.
“I can see what should be done."

to do it. You do not need anv further

Added to this was the declaration
from an authoritative source that the
only reason for concern. was becauu

L'nllcd States and not because of any
new symptoms or likelihood of any.
Mrs. Harding Optimistic
"Since we have our toxin in“ unde-
control. I feel safe in saying lllul us
have passed the peak load of trouble."
was the way General Sawyer summar-
ised the situation in an informal state.
ment. "1 don't want to be too cm-
phatlc about it. because we always
face complications. But I feel that
the crisis is over and that the Pres<
ldent is well on the road to rccm cry."
This feeling was manifestly shared
by all of the other physicians and by
members of the President’s immediate
family. Mrs. Harding, who has been
‘ at the side of her husband throughout
this fight. as she has been in an
struggles he has waged. was under:
stood to be even mete optimistic. and
the President. himself, was convinced
that the battle has been won.
"Work. I think we are almost out
of the woods." he said late yesterday.
The President! own feelings were
e pressed at a time when his condition
as not so satisfactory. He was said
to, be extremely cheerful when he
awakened about 9 o'clock last night
from what Dr. Sawyer described as
the best and most. natural sleep he ltd.
had since his illness began.
Has bong Sleep.
He was awake only a short time and
then dropped back into a sleep that
was described as quite different from.
and exceedingly more satisfactory
than the nervous sleep of Monday
night when all the physicians were
agreed that his condition was grave.
From time to time last night word
came from the Presidential suite that
Mr. Harding was asleep and each time
those who remained on watch became
more and mac optimistic. Sleep and
rest “to repair the breaches" General
Sawyer said. was what the chief
executive needed most and so far as
could be learned prior to issuance of
an official bulletin this need was being
in t.
{A steady inn-ease in the amount of
nourishment being taken by the Pres.
ident was another cause for optimism.
His diet. as prescribed yesterday. and
as continued today. consisted of egg.
hogs. fruit juices. milk, toast and soft
