The question of more school room was
| then raised and Mr.. Lynch stated that it
was important that the board should de
eide whether or not it would re lease the
| basement of the German Lutheran
church for school purposes 1t was the
sentiment of the board that an additional
| school building should be built, but it
was decided not to take definite action
until an estimate could be made of the
probable expenditures for the ensuing
| year and the committee on building and
| repairs could make report on the prob
able cost of a site.
The committees will ge' Jgether and
make estimates, after which meeting OF
the board will be called and it will be de
! cided whether or not a new building will
| be erected. According to the present esti,
mates the resources of the board for the
ensuing year will aggregate about $4,000
| and the probable expenditures will
| amount to about 5000, leaving in the
neighborhood of $4,000 for new schoo
building, should the board decide to erect
| one
The obstacle in the way is the higt
valuation placed upon real estate. 1t il
understood that the ground on SOuti
Jardin street now owned by the English
Baptist church can be secured for $1,000
but the board considers this figure to,
high. 1t is said site can be secured a
| the northwest corner of Cherry and JardiI
| streets for $500.
1t is understood the election of teacher
will not take place until the regula
meeting of the board in July.
