Again
If ' the recommendations passed
last night by the Common Council
are approved by the Board of Edn-
cation, the new Junior High school
will be built in East Norwalk.
The resolution as presented by
Councilman Pohlman and posed by
the Councu states that a site ghall be
purchased near the present Fitch
school for the erection of an eight
or ten room Junior High school and
that four rooms shall be added to
the Washington school and that land
shall be purchased adjoining the
preswt Franklin school. so that this
site may be used for a new Junior
High school at some future date.
. It is believed the Board of Education
will 'endorse this resolution inasmuch
as the members have already agreed
to the plan ns‘an alternative if the
Andrew'sstte was not selected.
To Take m Offer.
.It was also voted an a resolution
presented by Councilman James. to
purchase a site for the new Broad
River school from Charles H. Har-
ris for $5,500. This resolution was
posed without a dissenting voice.
After passing the resolution re-
garding the purchase of the Harris
site for the Broad River school.
Chairman Douglas Nash of the
Board of Education stated that the
Joint committee had gone over a
number of sites for the Junior High
school and had failed to find any
site as good as the Andrew‘s prop-
crtn
Councilman Pohlman then pre-
sent a resolution asking that the
An s property be purchased.
A dbl-ion arose as to whether
the former vote of the Council. re-
Jecting on site. would have to 13¢
minded. Councilman Riordan
stated that the minutes of the pre-
vious meeting as read stated that the
Joint committee was to bring in an—
other report. This statement was
confirmed by City Clerk Irving Rob-
inson. Councilman Benton moved
that the previous vote of the Council
be reconsidered and he was inform-
ed by Councilman Taybor that the
only ones that omildmovs tor a re-
W
site at the last meeting. The cor-
poration counsel stated as: this was
right and then Councilman Taylor
moved for a reconsideration. The
matter was put to a‘ vote and lost

Taylor, Pohlman and Benton voting
lfor it.
Pohlman’s Resolution.
‘Councllman James stated there
was another proposition to be pre-
sented and that the reason he had
voted against a reconsideration of
the Andrew‘s site. was that the other
proposition had not been presented.
Councilman Pohlman then, presented
the ireoiutlon as previously. stated
regarding the East Norwalk site and
the plans for South Norwalk.
Mr. Nash declared that this propoo
sitlon had been presented as an al-

results could be obtained by pur-
chasing the Es‘st Norwalk site and
that this with an addition to the

Mr. Pohlman stated that the mat-
had been gone into very thor-
