The Vaughan Street School House.


To the Editor of the Press:
The recently published communication of
IS. Ell. MeA," and Ward Seven" in the col
umns of the morning papers, relating to the
condition of the cellar of the Vaughan
street school house, calls for some attention
on the part of the committee having charge
of the building.
There is certainly some misapprehension
with regard to this matter, from what cause
it is difficult to tell; but just as certainly
there is very little, if indeed any foundation
for the statement that the building so COM
planned of is in an unsanitary condition.
That citizens whose children attend that
school may be satisfied that no such state of
affairs as complained. of exists, all are in
yited to examine as. fully and as carefully as
they may desire, the arrangements, sanitary
and otherwise, of the Vaughan street school
house, and we shall be pleased to hear from
any of them thereafter
The building will be kept open one week
for the above purpose.

Buildings.
