BACK TO OLD BUILDINGS.
NAPIER SCHOOL CLASSES. POST OFFICE RECONDITIONED. (By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) NAPIER, this day. The grant, which has been approved by the Minister of Education, for reconditioning the Hastings Street School at present in use as the chief post office, will bring about the early reoccupation of the building by Napier Primary School classes. The building has housed the post and telegraph staff since the second week in February, 1931, but the Department will be transferred before the end of this month to the former office, the reconditioning of which has occupied over 12 months, involving a cost exceeding £30,000. Eight school classes, comprising nearly 350 pupils, who have been in temporary rooms since the reopening of the schools after the earthquake, will bo affected by the transfer. As soon as the building is vacated by the Post and Telegraph Department a start will bo made by the Public Works Department in refitting it for reoceupation as a school. It is expected that the work will take a fortnight, and the final adjustment of the primary school classes will be completed by the end of this month.
