which they weave cloths of SILK and gold
of divers kinds, and they also msLnufac-
ture all sorts Of equipments for an army

Mayor Wanser, Finance Commissioners
Brautigan, Detwiller and Simpson, City
Hall Commissioners Hough and DATE,
Street and Water Commissioners Harding,
Heintze and Boltwood, Corporation Coun-
sci Blair, Directors of Education DAILY,
Stone. Beach, Superintendent Snyder and
Principal Lindsey met in the Mayors
private Office today and discussed ques-
tons pertaining to school affairs.
Readers of the News" will remember
that some time ago the officials decided
to tear down No. l School in York street
No. is the school In which the venerable
and respected Principal Lindsey has
spanked many of the city officials, Mayor
Wanser not excluded. The old building
has been condemned and some months
ago it was found necessary to tear doVn
one of the wings which had become rick
ETY. and unsafe
The city officials dislike to remove the
landmark, but occasion requires it. 1t is
proposed to erect on the present site,
which is to be enlarged by the acquisition
of two lots modern structure which will
in all probability cost from 5000 to $780,
o0O
The old building accommodates about
eleven hundred pupils and what to do
with them while the new building is being
erected is causing the members of the
Board of Education much concern, They
want the old City Hall, claiming that it
will be possible to furnish it at a trif1ing
cost, make it suitable for school purposes
and furnish seating room for eleven hun
dred pupils, if not more.
At this mornings conference it was
agreed to allow the conversion Of the
Old City Hall into schoolhouse. Before
such use can be made of the building,
however, some legislation is required.
Under the City Hall Commission act,
bonds were issued in anticipation of the
sale of the Old Hall and other city prop
erty. These bonds will mature shortly and
the only means the City Hall Commits
sioners have of retiring them is with the
proceeds of money derived from the sale
of city property.
The bonds cannot be received. To get
around the situation Corporation Counsel
Blair is to draw a bill for presentation to
the Legislature which will authorize the
Board of Finance to raise sufficient
sum on bonds to retire the City Hall
issue when they mature The Finance
Board bonds will be paid upon maturity
with the money that is derived from the
sale of the old City Hall. The School
Directors believe they will not have to
useSthe old hall longer than one year The
Street and Water Commissioners are to
adopt plans for the new school which is
to replace old No. /, and advertise for
bids as soon sas the Legislature passes
the bill allowing the issue of bonds to re-
tire the City Hall issue.

It Is curious thing that the old
churches built in New England before
the Revolution were often placed on top
of high hills. There was a reason for
this. The church must be safe from In
dams and from the high hilltop the con-
gregation in the meeting house could SEE,
the Indians in time to turn and drive
them off. The meeting house was fort.
churches were built In the towns and val
leys. These hilltop meeting houses were
terribly cold. windy and dangerous, and
prove how. unwise 1t is to build dwelling
houses on exposed hill sides. In selecting
q place for new house. always look out
for shelter from the northwest wind
The ideal position for a home that is to be
