il could be erected within the S25, 600.
All the plans provided for the Ruttan-
Smead heating and ventilstiug system, as
that seems to be the favorite system in all
school buildings nowadays.

time and Mr. Bloch moved that only the
plans for the twelve roomed house be
taken into oniideIation, as 1t would not
be long until more room was needed, II
only an eight roomed building were erect

came to the conclusion they were not and
decided 20 adjourn, subject to the call oil
the Chairman.
Several of the architects were then re-
called and questioned about their plans,
the time being occupied in this manner
until late hour, when the committee Ole
solved.
