HIGH SCHOOL AND HUTT PARK

The question of the site for a high 6chool or secondary college on the Hutt Park, recommended by the Educatiori Board, although not supported by tho Lower Hutt Council, and practically treated in the same manner by the Petone Council, is, however, to be reopened by the Hutt and Petone District High School Committees.

The first-named' committee recently carried a resolution favouring the site, and appointed a sub-committee to take steps to expedite the matter, whilst the Petone School Committee has forwarded ,the following letter to the Petone Council"Dear Sir.—l have to acknowledge receipt of your letter of February 16, in-which you state that my letter of February 6 (in regard to an . area on the Hutt Park for a High School site) was placed before your council, and no decision was arrivetl at. I am further instructed to write, respectfully requesting your council to re-open the question, as apparently (according to Press reports of the meeting, at which the matter was discussed) some _ slight - misunderstanding of the question exists, and perhaps an explanation at this stage may afford some light to councillors on . the matter. Councillor Anderson, who is a member of the School Committee, is in possession of al) the particulars in connection with the subject, and my 'committee will be pleased should your counil accede to the request.—R. Kirk, secretary, Petone District High School Committee."-
