Ac1.1M FOR SCHOOL BUILDINGS
Four Localities Said to Be Greatly in Need OF
Buildipps-To Be Erected This Summer

Mr.. J. ". Wingard, chairman of the
committee on buildings and grounds of
the city school board. reports that the
committee is giving the question of erect
ing school buildings special attention now
a-days. 1t has long since been apparent
that the committee is compelled to provide
more room, as the school population is
rapidly increasing. The rapid building of
school houses during the last year, it
seems, was not as great as the increase in
the enrollments Besides. the buildings
erected others were rented, giving few IA
cilities and causing both pupils and teach
ers in many instances to work under great
disadvantages The simple and plain
conclusion is, as voiced by Mr. Wingard
that some buildings must be erected and
relieve the pressure in this direction He
figures that four localities are greatly
in need of buildings, and the peo-
pie in those localities are just
as much aware of their needs,
Judging from daily expressions, as any
member of the board who has listened to
the facts and call for better facilities
The localities most needing buildings as
he terms it are. the Burton car works,
Paramount, southeast and directly south.
The demands for each it is thought are
sufficient to call out action from the board
but the first that should command atten-
tion is the car works. 1t is argued by
some that nothing less that an eight room
building. which means two story brick
will suffice i'll that locality. The location
viii probably be at some point giving best
facilities to the car works, Dold packing
house and plow factory. A number of the
citizens interested in that locality have
the matter under consideration and are
figuring on the point most calculated to
accommodate all. They have shown
enough interest in tie question to cause
the board to believe that suitable and
sufficient school grounds will be
donated if the board will consent
to commence work on building
at an early date. 1t is
believed that the proposed proposition will
assume definite shape by the next meeting
of the board, when that body will act in
way to meet the demands of the COM
munity.
Paramount and other localities named
are not reported as showing such school
population, and hence ahe demands for
buildings are not so urgent. but entirely
pressing enough to call for the best efforts
of the board. Their buildings will not, it
is thought, be so large or costly, but will
have to be buildings of some sort. 1t is
thought the board will respond with
prompt action and have the buildings
erected this summer, so they will be in
readiness for next year.
