The people Of Duluth for the
past few weeks have been "all torn
up" on the subject of ercc ting anew
high school building. The school
board recommended the issuance of
$4,000 in bonds. This was favored
by one party and opposed by an
other. a third party favored the
raising of money by direct taxation

Several meetings were held. One
meeting instructed the board to go
ahead and expend the amount on
hand, some $4,000, in commencing
building, but the last meeting not
only voted not 10 issue bonds or
raise money in any way but went
so far as TO resclnd The resolu-
tons Of all former meetings.! SO
they will have no high school build

As they seem to want an $4,000
school building we can sell them
one that cost inst about that sum,
and sell it cheap too. We refer to

in 1870 and lying idle for some
years past. 1t could readily be
moved across The baY on a scow,
or on the lee next winter. Or if
this plan wouldn't work the Duluth

over here and back every day.
