O'Neill, Ito this Board Of Education in
awarding the plans OF the new High

formed on reliable authority, and I
also know from my own personal
knowledge, that we have as competent
architects in our own city as can be
found anywhere, and who could have
designed the plans for the J.ew school
as we'll and as cheaply as anyone else
from abroad.
81 speak in behalf Of the taxpayers
Of the city OF Wilmington, who have to
bsar the burden necessary to this work.
It is not just 10 our citizens that work
that can be done as cheaDly at home IA
abroad should be given to foreign
parties.
q also want to cali Councils atten-
ton to the S,rtCt and Sewer Depart
ment That board is now awarding
contracts for material to parties abroad
which could be furnished by our home
industries. 1t is true that we canno
furnish brick for street paving, bu
that brick used for the building Of sew
srs can be produced here as we'll al
anywhere else. Therefore, Mr. Presi
