Board Stresses Problem Of '

City Scho oijaccommodation

A deilclt of 84,065.76 for the year I062 was recordedin the annual report of the of school Trustees presented to the annual meeting of the City Council last night by Major T. E. MacNut-t. Board Secretary.

The total income of the Board for the year was 5140,2580?! with expenditures of Gl44.l64.0l- The amount paid as supplements to teacheif salaries -was 884,561.25 less deduction for teachers City Pension Byitem eissne, and de- duction for Blue Cross 31680.28. making a net supplement to teach- ers of 381,363.01. ”

It was noted in the report that the opening of the Kindergarten in West Kent School in 1051 had proven to be 0. very valuable ad- dition to the educational system of the City. "Mrs. Wlllett has con- tinued in charge of this depart- ment and is giving mlendid ser- vice." Major MscNutt said in pre- senting the report on behalf of Dr. R. G. Lea. Chairman of the Board.

Referring to the overcrowding the report states: "Our sc” ' are terribly overcrowded, and the Board was forced to advertise for space in church hall or even pri- vate homes, but were not success-

ful in obtaining space until the close of the year when Principal Lowther made available a. room in his dwelling house, where some 20 pupils of Grade I of Prince Street school are receiving instruction. This can only be a temporary ar- rangement. but points to the fact that additional school accom- modation must be provided. By next September with the usual in- crease in school populalon, the situation will be desperate."

The nuinbw of pupils enrolled in the City Schools in December was as follows: Prince Street School. 067 -- West Kent. 401- Queen Square, 101 - Rlchford Square School, 578 and Kinder- garten 45. This makes a total of 247! pupils and xupresen-id an in- crease ci 158 pupils over the pn- vious December.

The number of foscheu em- ployed at the end of the year was as follows: Prince Street School. 21 - West Kent. 20 - Queen Square. 22 and Rochford Square 1'1. making 9. total of 80. In addition there are four music teachers, two physical instructors. one Home Economics teacher and one Art Instructor.

Reviews Activities Of City Fire Department

The suggestion that the air horn fire alarm system which was in- stalled early last year should be automatically controlled was made by Conn. P. R. Mocormac, Chair- man of the Fire Committee at the annual meeting of the City Council here last night.

Coun. Mocormac said that it was the feeling of the Fire De- partment that the new born was an lmrprovement over the old sys- tem, especially for general alarms but it was felt that it should op- erate automatically.

In s. comprehensive report Conn. Mocormac told the council that "The Fire Board, which has not functioned for years; yet is the real governing body of the Fire Department as set forth in the City By-laws was reconstituted and
