THE PARKING OF THE HIGH SCHOOL SQUARE.
petition has been placed before the Com
missioners, signed by property holders in the
neighbOrhoOd OF square i46 upon which are
the Henry school and the High school build
ings) and members of the school board, urging
that parking improvements be made on the .
street front of the High school on both sides of
lines and improvements east and west OF said
square. The frontage of the High school,
gentlemen interested in the petition say, has
been neglected by the parking comm ission for
the reason that the street in front is not in
condition to receive the much-needed foliage
and lawn improvements, the curb lines at
present being quite out OF place, they having
been left SO by the abandonment of the site as
Il market place. The front OF the High school
is back from the building line about % feet,
which, in addition TO the lawn that would be
acquired by change of the curbng line as
suggested would, IL Is claimed, provide an
ample and handsome lawn To the main en-
trance OF the High school.
