appeared in the daily press, having refer
ence to the present unwholesome and de-
lapidated condition of many of the chool
buildings of this city, and of such charac-
ter as night be construed as rejecting
upon this Board of Education, and
Whereas, This Board is in no way re-
sponsible for such condition of said build
ings, and have not only used to the best
advantage, and under their immediate
personal supervision, all money allowed
them for repairs, but nave sought in
every possible manner to secure larger
appropriations for this purpose, and,
Whereas, They are fully convinced that
these conditions should be improved at
ing that the people will gladly assume
any reasonabl Indebtedness for the pay
ment of such expense as may be incurred
in not only putting all present school
buildings in repair, but also in favor of
erecting large, commodious and well APP
pointed buildings wherever the number
of children will warrant such expendi-
ture, including the erection of a new
High School which, properly located and
so built as to compare favorably with
any building of the kind in any city of
this country, will not only supply a long
felt and imperative need, but will re-
fleet credit upon Jersey City, therefore
Resolved, Thai a committee consisting
of the President of this Board and the
chairmen of the several committees be
appointed to confer with the Board of
Finance to take into consideration the
securing of such legislation during the
coming winter as will authorize the
Comptroller of the city, Upon application
Of the Board of Education and upon the
approval of a majority of the Board of
Finance, to issue bonds in the name and
on behalf of the Mayor, Aldermen and
commonalty of Jersey City, to the amount
of five hundred thousand dollars, par
value, to be known as school bonds,
which shall run for such term of years
as the said Comptroller shall direct, but
no longer than twenty years, and shall
draw interest at not more than three and
one-half per cent. per annum. The pro-
| ceeds of such bonds, when received, shall
forthwith be deemed appropriated for the
purchase of new school sites for the
erection of new schol buildings, for adj
ditions to school buildings already erect
ed and for fitting up and furnishing the
same for the use of the common schools
of Jersey City.
