THE CITY SCHOOL BOARD

ON AN INSPECTING TOUR.—SEVERAL* CITIES VISITED.

The Board Accompanied by Mayor Duncan and Superintendent Wilson—Our New Building to be a Nice One,

Last night the city board of school trustees, Eph Marsh, D. B. Cooper and E. P, Thayer, Jr., Mayor G. W. Duncan and City School Superintendent George S. Wilson, returned from a two days' trip inspecting school-houses. They were at Frankfort, Tipton, Peru, Wabash, Marion and Anderson, paying particular attention to the buildings at Frankfort and Wabash. They found the school buildings they examined, up-to-date, and far superior to those in Greenfield. The new one, however, which will be built this year by the Board of Trustees, will be all that can be desired in the way of a modern school building—one that will be a credit and an honor to our city one such as our position among the cities of the State demand that we should have one in which our children can have advantages, comfort and safety equal to that of children in other citie3. Let the good work go on and the building be erected as speedily as possibly. The gentlemen were highly delighted with their trip, as they were shown every possible courtesy by the officials representatives and citizens generally of the live, active and progressive cities visited. Greenfield certainly has a just pride in her representatives who were so honored as they were, such as to reflect honor and credit on our city.

The New Telegraph Office Going In.

B. F. Collins and a force of men are here and at work putting in the new down town telegraph office for the Western Union Co. It is to be in one of the west up stairs rooms in Randalls new block and will face State Street. As it will be between both stairways it will be quite convenient although not so much so as if on the ground floor. It will be much more convenient however than the present location. The same service however will be continued at the depot as heretofore and the new office is simply an additional one. John F. Eagan will have charge of the office in the Randall block and will keep the office open during business hours. Cliff Geary will probably be promoted to day operator at the depot, and the service there will be both day and night.
