ior, clerk, the board formally adopted
the plans for the proposed new school
house submitted by Donovan & Meaney.
and will at once advertise for bids. 80
that the work of construction can be
commenced as soon as possible. A de-
scription of the plans was published in
these columns several days ago, 40 that
an extended notice of them at this time
IL unnecessary. Suffice it to saw the
building will be handsome and com
modious edifce, supplied with eli the
modern schoOlhouse improvements, and
will be located on beautiful block be-
tween the barrel factory and Lake I'm
ion. The seating capacity is estimated
at between six hundred and seven hun.
dred. When completed and furnished
the building will cost upwards of S25..
oOO. There is nearly enough money on
hand to pay for the block, clear it, and
erect the second finest school building
in Washington Territory. So much for
Seattle as an educational center.
