MAPLE STREET-The Palladium in COM
mcnting on the public edifces, aludes to the
unfortunate location of our new and admira-
BILE high school building, which it speaks of as
massive structure, characterized by strength,
simplicity, symmetry, with its ornamentation
in good taste. Because it is shut in, as it were, it
is feared that the city will never know how well
it builded its high school house. The remedy
for this will be to push Maple street through to
Elm street. That is an improvement which the
city ought not TO postpone, for now is the con-
venent season when costly buildings do NOT
stand in the way of the needed street extension.
