commodation tiie chairman of the meet ing was reeve gar lehman and he called upon mr cec hen dricks chairman of the public school board to elaborate on the boards thinking as regards present and future school ac commodation the meeting was advise 1 that j the present school buildings could only accommodaie ninety additional pupils and the board members were of the opinion that possibly now was the time to be seeking a new public school site while a third pub lie school was not expected to be required for two or three years the board feared rising land costs and the loss to hous ing of possible good sites 128 more families figures provided by clerk ralph corner showed that the possible number of new homes which could be occupied on the three subdivisions now build ing was 12s this

suffice for some time councillor laush- way and councillor wagg also expressed the view that present accommodation and additions to i the two present schools could handle the requirements for i
