Dire and means Of daily ineress and esress
near the front Of the building, aethe

Another-an Objectionable feature which
should have been remeiied long ago.
I'VE think We have u better plan than
this to offer. II 10 THE: We would
recommend the sale Of the old rookery
on Second street, known rs public school
No. 23. the proceeds OF the sale TO bo ap.
piled to the erection of an addition 10
school No. 3. This addition would extend
to the building line on Jefferson street,
This would give two fpe large rooms,
which would more than accommodate
the scholars at No. 80, and be q great
Improvement to No. 3, an ornament to
that part Of the city and . credit to the
Board of Education. 1t has been sug-
gested that the successful bidder on this
improvement might take school No. 80
10 part payment. Probably . better pr'ce
could be obtained TOR IL In this way than
in any other. Respectfully submitted,
