THE NEW BUILDING.
Petitions were read from Messrs. E /.
p. Reynolds. s. w. McMaster, John
Warner, James Mirfeld, w. P. Quayle
and some two hundred other residents of
the Fifth and Sixth wards. asking the
board to replace Building No. by a
safer building as well as one more ade-
quate to supply the needs of that COM
munity. The reports of the expert build
ers alluded to in last nights ARGUS were
also submitted, showing that they had
carefully examined this building and pro-
nouncing 1t unsafe and unfit for repair.
Mr.. j. d. Taylor in his report says: THE
building is unsafe as it is and l do not
think itproper or wise to do any work on
said building" Mr.. s. j. Collins says
ut is in very unsafe condition, the
mortar in the foundations and brick walls
being very poor. more or less out of
plumb and badly cracked. consider the
building unsafe and not worth repair
ing" Mr.. w. A. Guthrie says: 1T
is in very unsafe condition. There
is possibility that it might stand
for two or three years under favor
able circumstances but it is liable to
fall down at any time, the foundation
and brick walls being in a very bad con-
dition." Mr.. G. ]. Larkin says: 81 find
that the walls are in an unsafe condition,
being out of plumb and in several places
buckled so as to throw the strain on two
iron rods which may at any time pull
through from the poor quality of the
mortar in the brick work. The said
bricks being loose in many places, the
building is badly cracked and it would
be unwlse to make and repairs on it."
In the face of these facts the board
thought its duty was to erect a new
No. in that district. A resolution
was therefore adopted disseminating the
school house and inviting architects tc
submit plans at an adjourned meeting or
Friday evening for a new eight-roon
building to be erected on the same lol
with Ruttan heating and ventilating ap
paratus, the cost to be about $4,000
It is intended to erect this building dur
ing vacation and have it ready for use or
the opening of the fall term of the schools
10 September.
Mr.. B. Fl. Kimball was authorized II
take the school census, and his compen
sation fixed for such task at 800.
