The Board of Education met yesterday
morning, President Pomeroy in the chair
and Messrs. Cox, Woodbury., Ellis,
Frew, Gosper, Powers and Whaling
present, in the rooms of Superintendent
Friesner. The meeting had two.fold
object, that of examining plans for q
high school and for school houses OF
eight, four and two rooms. Plans were
submitted by the following architects
G. H. Brown, J. Lee Burton, r. A. Cox
head, G F. Costersan, Curlett, Eisen u

w. o. Merithew, Morgan & Walls, j. q.
Newson, w. r. Morton, j. N. Preston &
Son, l.. E. Todd and R. B. Young.
1t was decided to allow each architect
ten minutes in which to explain
his plans, and for about two hours the
Board examined plans and listened to
the architects. Most of all the plans
presented were excellent, and those Tor
the High School were especially good. 1t
is proposed to build High School which
shall be a credit to the city, and the
Board could not make much OF mistake
in selecting any one of the plans. Some
were especially good as regards their
interior arrangements, and others were
more imposing In appearance, and it is
probable that the Board will be able to
select plans that will combine the best
qualities Of all.
