r-- <br /> IRV" <br /> In accordance with the request voted by the Town at the special <br /> meeting held March first, the School Conffni.ttee submit to-night pl�-.ns and <br /> estimates for a new six-room building for the primary and lower gramriiar <br /> grades . to be erected within the district bounded by Winthrop and Percy <br /> Roads . Front several plans submitted to theri the Committee have selected <br /> those prepared bir Mr . Willard D. Drown of this toT:rn, and feel that they <br /> can heartily commend them to the Town c:n i score <br /> tr e , ccre 0,f attractiveness sim- <br /> plicity , practicability and economy.
