conference with the District Commissioners
yesterday, in relation to tho new school build.
ngs TO be erected. The cost of tho building
planned by Architect Cluss, to be erected in
the irst district, on Massachusetts, avenue, 1t
has been found, will exceed the amount which
can be set apart for the purpose out Of the
Congressional appropriation. The conference
was in relation to making the necessary modi-
hcatiOns OF the plan. No conclusion was
reached, although it was proposed to uso, in.
stead o. pressed-brick, common handmade
brick, in the construction, the difference of
price making considerable reduction in the
COS! Of the structure. The cost of the Iauritzen
building, to be erected in tho third district,
will not exceed its share of the appropriation,
but Commissioner Dent has had prepared
