nookvillc rvritrc, March !>.—Rof'kvill(> Centn' .vrcm.s t/> hiiVP a way of solvinic It.s problcm.'i In iia iinforKorn tnanacr. Now oom(-.s nn opporlunity lo nu-ct the nc«-d for ll rrinniciii.'il bulldlns:. Thi.H has liMin di.scu.s«pd for a Ions time, and al tho r-li-rtion next Tuf'.sday a proponition to purcha.se u ."dte at I'Union aviinuf, l''ront .street to Collopi^ pliuv, a.s a silo for such a stnir-tuio, will he n .subject for vote.
Now oomeH thi- KUpRT.stion that with th<? steady growth of the village, a new hiKh sehool will have to be built in a few yc.ani, and .sinee the vlllafre has liMi.sed additional .spaee for offlceH for live yearM, there is no iires.sinu need for IL iiiuniei[>al biiildlntf.
Sehool .'UilhoritieH Incline to a pioiio- sition to sell the preKcnl hUjIi school to the villane for a llfriire to be arrived ;it but substantially b'.'^s tluin the cost of Il n6w structure.
The hiKh school, it i.s contended, could be retuodeled for vlllitKe olflce jiurpo.ses and other uses to which the tiilkedof memorial buildlnfr Would bo put. 'I'lu- b.a.seriient is .siiitalile lor ii police sta¬ tion anil ;i jail. The iiuilitorium could be used for inectin.ir rooms for Ihe l.etrion and Veterans of Koreiun Wars. The lower floor would .serve for village (Illlce and court room.
The plan has been di.scussed amonir residents for Ihe purpose of learning the sentiment.
The lloaid of ICdiication, Alfred K. Ives, presidenl, beln^ of an economiciil furn of mind, estimates thnt the sale of the school bijildinM: to the vil- lapii is luactically a tran.sfer of owner- .ship in nain«« only, sLnoe the vlllafre lines and aehoo* ilislrkt lines are aliout the same.   The  rosidr-nts   wpuld   be   biiyimr
something from  themselve.s nnd  .selline: il   to themselves.
The proceeds of the tran.saction would be devoled to the erection of a new liiKh .school on the Uillside-Lakevicw site, alKiiit four acres, acquired a year airo. The need of the new hlRh school Is .i.MserlinK itself more nnd more yearly. Should the deal be consummated this yenr. the new buililinsr would lie ready to meet Ihe dcinnnd foi- hiKh school facilities,   which  will   surely  be   made.
The proiiosition which comes before thi' voters Tuesday firovides for a $2(1,0(10 bond i.ssue. rf-deemable in four years or at flie rate of J5000 a year. FInnnclmr the purcha.se of the hlsh .school misht be arranged similarly. luiy- nienls of the viUiiKe to the lioard of Kducation could be in conformity with the refiindinir arranfrements of any tiond i.s.sue  made   for  lite  new  hish   .school.
The Itiversiile School bond i.ssue is lo be $1(17.000, which is II.I.OOO less than.Jhi' $12l',000 authoiiz(^l. While this is n .siivlUK, there will not be any actual (-ash uvnilable. ns it is not the intention of the board to i.ssue the full aiiioiint of bonds and pay interest on tt)e $l.'i,000 while .'iwaflinK authorization tu inoceeil with buildinR- the new hiph .school, nowever. it reiuesents to the t;i.\I)ayeis. tlueequnrters of cost of the pKiIMiscd  miiniciiial building site.
If it had been neces.snr.t fo expend this amount and the $20,000 for the other necessary to [luit'hase the old hish .school, which, it is .wdimated, will be obtainable for about $30,000.
The cost of a municipal buildinK would have to be nddeil to the $:i!"i.OOO. thus represenlinn a sum in excess of $rio,uoo.
.since the Iloard of Education is de¬ sirous of obtaininK- sentiment nn the proiiosition. The Daily Kcview will bo Iilea.sed to piihlisli sipncil li'tfeis. e\-. liii'ssin'.r opinions on the subject.

Hempstead, March !).—I'apers were signed this morning for the purchase of one of Ihe most valuable tracts in the business seotion for a consideration of $78,000. It is believed the purchase was made to secure ground for a thea- t re.

The inoperty is on the west side of .¦Main street. It is but a few hundred feet .south of Fulton avenue and there¬ fore in the heart of the business .section of Hompstead village.
