houses is becoming very live issue in
deed. The school board, the city coun-
oil and the superintendent OF schools'
Office are all getting down to solid busi-
ness in the matter.
As the discussion progresses the did
culties OF the situation present them
| selves. 1t will not be an easy matter to
psnd two or three hundred thousand
dollars on new school buildings and i'm
provements and please the residenta OF
every portion of the city, at the same
time that the real interests OF the schools
are subserved The residents of the
wards which get no new school houses
or improvements will be apt to look
with envious eyes at the ward which
| gets brand new school horee, and to
leave the question of actual necessity in
the background. Then there are q
great many other things to consider, in
cluding politics.
Consequently the school board and
| the council are proceeding carefully,
though by no means slowly.
Yesterday about the whole day was
devoted to the matter by the superin-
tendent and his assistant and members
OF the council and school board.
/ The committee appointed at joint
meeting OF the city council and board OF
| education reported as follows:
We recommend that q bond election
be called for the purpose of voting on
the bonds for the erection, acquisition
and repair of the following named school

nue., lot and additional ground, $23, 900.

Addition OF four rooms to the Union

| $4,000.
Addition OF eight rooms to the Caste

Addition of four rooms to the Temple

| located either on the Spring-street lot or
the Eghth-street and Grand avenue or
vicinity, with equipment. is estimated
to cost 100000. Thus the bonds re-
quired would be for 1925, 900.
Some members OF the council were
free to soy yesterday that they consid-
cred the industrial high school PROPOSE
tion out of the question entirely at this
time. They confessed that this would
be very desirable thing. but did not
| believe a two-tnirds majority OF the
voters would be in favor OF building it
now.
Yesterday morning Superintendent
Search and his assistant, Mr.. Foshay,
visited all OF the places where additions
and new buildings are contemplated.
Then in the afternoon party COM
posed OF Messrs. Munson, Pessel,
Rhodes and Innes OF the council, Frank
and Stein OF OF the school board, Super
intendent of Buildings Eisen and Super
intendent of Schools Search, together
with the reporters, made the rounds
again.
Tbs grounds we're carefully gone over,
estimates considered and ths matter of
new and proposed building improve
ments in the ths vicinity of each pro-
posed change or new building carefully
| considered.
l. was pretty well understood that the
third Improvement on the list, the ad-
ditionof eight rooms to the Seventeenth
street school, will hardly be consid-
cred. Several other changes will also
probably be made in the plans before
they are finally submitted.
1t ia understood that the more con-
! servativs member OF both bodies are in
favor OF getting the amount down below
| 5000, 600 before it is submitted to the
vote of the people.
There WAS some discoursging talk
about any further improvements on the
Tenth street school because OF its rather
untavorable location. but it was finally
decided that the present building could
be raised and four additional rooms put
underneath.
The present Grifin-avenue school
building, in East Los Angeles, was con-
sidersd hopeless case, and probably a
fine 12-room building will be built on
the present site Of the fout-room
shhnty.
AS yet no kickers at any of the i'm
provements contemplated have devel-
oped in either body, and ii is not likely
any will.
