paper to the District Commissioners, to-day,
stating that at meeting of the committee on

lutions were adopted: ''That we accept the

tor of buildings, as the plan for the erection OF
a new school building on Massachusetts, ave.
NV, IDaU IL IS the sense Oh The COmmlUUee UlaJ
the Commissioners authorize such notifications
in the plans submitted by Mr.. Entwisle, as will
give as much additional width in the main
hall as it will be possible 10 have with the
amount appropriated, and for that purpose we
respectfully recommend that all outside appui-
tenanceS, such as fences sidewalks and the
boiler vault, shall be for the present dispensed
with, and the amount thus saved be added to
the additional expense of widening the hail.
that it Is the sense of this committee that we
deem it unwise to advise the Commissioners to
start any building to exceed the appropriation
made by Congress- The Commissioners have
the paper under advisement and will probably
give it their approval and proceed with the
building in accordance with the plans sug-
geSted. The plan adopted reduces the width OF
hallway from q to IA feet but does not change
the size of the school rooms.
