Blocked by the City
Council.
Education Committee and the
East Side High School.
Nothing More Can Be Done for Ten
Weeks.

There is considerable complaint which
Is not confined TO faint murmurings on
the east side of the city and in the Broad
street section about the slow methods of
the City Council committee on educa-
tion. The most urgent need of the
school department just now is the COM
pletion Of the Hope street high school
and of the Broad street grammar school.
Work on roth buildings has been given
up for lack of funds. The committee on
education knew this, they knew hat the
only way OF raising the money Yves by
securing authority from the General AS
sembly TO hire it, ano they also knew, for
everyone else in the city did. that the As
sc nbly would adjourn last Friday for two
m ,nths.
Nothing was done however during the
two weeks which the Legislature was in
session to secure the necessary legislation
although a petition for il was expected at
the State House n there would not
have been q shadow Of opposition to
granting il.
In the meantime petitions of many
signatures are being sent into city hail
urging the authtrities to hasten matters
for the adequate accommodation of the
pupils, and the authorities of the school
department are helpless so long as the
Council committee in control delays &C.
tion.
No special reason Is given. The chair
man of the finance committee says that
the money must be hired. Ii is needed
more now han some time next summer
However, ii will be impossible to get the
Legislative authority now until after the
9TH of April.

unsuccessful applications by counsel for a
