If so let him call at the mayor's of fice or confer with aidermen of the ward It is the only section of the city without a playground Of course the city could buy up a lot of property and construct a

wide provement in school buildings is ported in the annual document of school department as prepared Supt of Schools William This improvement Peck says is due to the personal in terest and attention of Mayor Yoerg and the more efficient and prompt handling of requisition by the public works department Notwithstanding the school buildings of the good shape according and the list of repairs needed is a dis couraging one An urgent appeal is made for immediate renovation of the high school either through direct funds or a WPA project The latter proposition has already been approved but because of the cost to the city of materials the work has not been done A major loss of 421 pupils was noted in the census for last year the decline being in all schools except the Vocational department of training which seems to be more in demand now than ever Elimination of the salary contribu tions has stepped up the per capita cost and Holyoke is now sixth among the 39 cities of the state In the ele mentary schools it cost $9031 to edu cate a pupil last year as against a state average of $8724 The budget for the coming year will be less than last year due to economies instituted by the school de partment Recommendation is made to institute a signal system and explanation made of several de vices used in other communities The report continues: "During the coming year we have high hopes of setting up an effective program of social educational and vo cational guidance "at the high school This will involve diagnosis of individ ual needs and abilities conferences with sympathetic teachers and sur veys of training programs and occu pational opportunities The school to day is not abandoning youth at the door of the schoolhouse on Com mencement day but is seeking des perately to guide him into a useful self reliant and satisfactory life "Other types of work which have never received proper emphasis in Holyoke and which we sincerely hope may be approached this year are lip reading for the hard of hearing cor rection of speech difficulties and a day class for deaf pupils AVe espe cially favor the employment of a part time teacher for speech correction inally to help meet the tremen dous demand which exists among the young people of the city for indoor recreational facilities during the win ter months we again suggest that the abandoned Sargeant street school building in South Holyoke be con verted into a combined gymnasium and shop building under a WA proj ect It is too little realized how eag erly our youth seek places to play their games during the winter sea son and how little the city has to of fer them The gymnasiums at the Lawrence and high school annex buildings though in constant use are not enough to meet the situation The auditorium of the Joseph Metcalf school poorly adapted as it is has been practically converted into a gym nasium under the WPA recreation program and is open every night A recreational center is needed in each of the five sections of tne city Sa re ea nt street school offers a pie and economical solution of this problem in the South Holyoke dis trict and the opportunity for inaugu rating a constructive program in the supervision of youth Recommendations No report would be complete with out a formal set of recommendations The following are therefore respect fully submitted for your considera tion Renovate the high school building under a WPA project Correct the serious deficiencies at BENJAMIN RTII Benjamin McCarthy ing at the home of A Alphonse Turgeon street South Hadley short illness He had Stuttering Movietone News Cartoon be sent to Ashley ponds and harvest tne ice ror tne city nome Chairman McLean replied matter was entirely within the pro vince or tne board of water sioners and that it had been very carefully considered Having in mind the illegality of water works em ployes doing such work the chairman was firm in his stand that they should not do so This was the first and only request that was made for the use oi the water works employes oy me mayor In closing his honor threatened bring the matter to the attention tne state department According to the press and was informed that the the state department are visory and that the final authority rested with the water commissioners The board of water commissioners refused the request to use its em ployes to harvest ice for the City home for many reasons irst and' most important is that it is illegal Section 49 Revised Char ter reads "No sum appropriated for a specific purpose shall be expended for any other purpose" Harvesting ice for the City home does not come within the purposes for which water works funds are appropriated The boys do things up ynn was on the go from good Mrs Eva Bears is chairman 'for the social which will

one immedi ately the superintendent of the City home requested of Superintendent Gear that he be given permission to use horse drawn plows on the ice As the use of horses on the ice was positively forbidden by the board of water commissioners the supeerin tendent refused the request AVithin a few minutes ffie was 'called on the telephone by his honor the mayor and asked by what authority he refused to allow horses on the ice Informed by the superintendent that he was acting by authority of the water commissioners and carry ing out their orders a discussion fol lowed the substance of which was that his honor insisted that he had had the permission of the state board of health and as he was the chief executive of the city such rulings and orders on city business as he wished to make must be carried out Before Superintendent Gear had an opportunity to inform Chairman AIc Lean of this conversation which he very speedily attempted to relay his honor had called the chairman on the telephone in regard to the ice cutting Whereas in his conversation with Superintendent Gear a few minutes earlier his honor professed indigna tion that the rules of the board of water commissioners did not permit horses on the ice and would not be suspended for the convenience of the City home his conversation indig nantly expressed to the chairman was from a very different angle He demanded an explanation from the chairman as to why men not employes or the water were allowed to harvest ley Ponds contrary to mendations of the state He reminded the chairman frequently that he was the chief executive and that his wishes must prevail He de manded that water works employes MAIN ST OPP SO HOLYOKE ENGINE HOUSE Package Store With Better Service' Til Close 2O Kistner Tom

Carpentier jointly commenced work Air Bray and Air Moss jointly started a few days later The water department furnished the water: tight containers for the re ception of polluted matter from the workmen and instructed its watchmen to constatntly supervise the sanitary conditions According to Air Carpentier" an agreement was made whereby he was to furnish the motor driven equip ment and cut the ice while the City home would furnish run ways etc and laborers for loading Actual harvesting of ice commenced Tuesday January 11 and the labor ers furnished by the City home are said to have been recruited from the welfare lists of the relief department After what is reported as about 300 tons of ice had been hauled to the City home work was suspended on account of a snow fall of about five inches which interfered with the pnuxss oi cutting As Air Carpentier had Holyoke Jan 26 John He reux of 47 Samosett street charged with breaking and entering and lar ceny pleaded guilty when arraigned

water department opened a six inch branch pipe from the feeder from the AIcLean Reservoir into the Rock Cut canal at Wright's pond together with increased run off of its watershed due to rains anil melting snows increased the ele vation of Wright's pond so that it reversed its usual direction of flow toward the intake and instead flowed toward and into Ashley pond or the same reason the level of Ashley pond raised until it overflowed the spill ways at the Southerly extremity of the reservoir It naturally follows that in that period of time during which the di rection of the current is from the intake toward the spillway no pollu tion entering the reservoir at its southerly end near the spillway loca tion can enter the intake pipes at the northerly end of the reservoir more than a mile
