Fairfield panel to plan 16–24 room K-6 school at North Mill Plain
Fairfield town meeting appoints a building committee to plan construction and equipping of a new 16 to 24 room K-6 elementary school in North Mill Plain after a report by First Selectman Di mitri L Kinnie estimated town capital expenditures at 14.66 million for the next five years. The Osborne Hill school committee was kept at nine members as opposition blocked enlarging it. The move follows a push for a referendum on future capital appropriations of 500000 or more.

Finance board chair George L Todd urged spreading costs over years due to high bond rates, while not delaying needed projects. Members named include Homer C M Cudmore, Mrs Stephen Matto Jr, Henry V Lindeman, Roswell Barrett, William M Clampett, John T Dooley, William H Moffitt III, Frances Duffy and Harvey Bresler.
