The Martins Ferry board of education
met last night md examined drawings
for the new high school building mado
by G. II. Ousley, OF youngstown, George
D. Griffin, OF Wheeling, and Yost &
Packard, Of Columbus. The latter wore
shown by Luther Lewis, OF Martins
Ferry, who is employed by this firm.
The board did moi reach q final con-
clusion at this meeting. A letter has
been received from James B. Bailey,
OF Pittsburgh, who wishes to make
plans. Tho board has not only ex-
aminod those above mentioned but tho
drawings OF Leiner & Faris. Charles
Hamilton, Franzheim & Gicscy, and
Mr.. Henigst, Of Wheeling. and Mr..
Thomas Green, OF Martins Forty. Most
OF those submitted are for buildings
costing about $4,000, several with tower
and town clock. Several architects
say that the building could DO com.
pleted by November l, 1894, as first
talked of by the board, but others say
this is an impossibility, and n says
that a first class building cannot be
completed before the first Of April. 1t
is the intention o. the board OF educa-
ton to have the building erected as
soon as possible, consistent with a good
job, and not rush it through regardless
OF the kind OF work. Plans will BIO SO.
lected soon, and the contract let in the
near future. Unless specified, the time
OF the completion OF the building will
depend on the successful contractor. 1t
seems that it will be next to an I'M
possibility to have the new building
ready for occupancy by November l.
