PLANS FOR PARK STREET SCHOOL.
School Board Discussing Them-AIso
Voted Not to Allow Money to Be Raised
in the Schools.

Voted Not to Allow Money to Be Raised
| in the Schools.
There was special meeting of the
| school board yesterday afternoon at halt
at four o'clock This nesting was called
for the purpose of examining plans for
the new Park street school house, submit
ted by Architects Tompson and Stevens.
IL is the intention Of the school commit
tee to decide upon plan for school
building and having obtained estimates
as to its cost, ect., to submit them Wl1n
it's recommendations to the committee on
public buildings, who in turn will sub
init them with report to the city govern
ment. The state law requires that oil
plans for school buildings shall be first
approved by the school boards, but in this
case the school committee desires to save
time in the matter and as the Park street
school is not to be erected for another
year, the next city government will be
able to make an appropriation to cover
the erection of the building.
1t is proposed to erect a ten room build
ing on Park street and have in addition
to these rooms large hall whick can, if
necessary, be made into unconditional
school rooms. School buildings cost about
5000 room, and it is estimated that
the Park street building to be properly
constructed and equipped will cost about
$50, 200. The school committee desires to
make this building an ornament to the
city and up to date in every particular.
At yesterdays meeting no decision was
arrived at in relation to the plans under
consideration, but at the regular meeting
of the board it is probable that one Of the
two plans already submitted will be
adopted.
A communication from. State Superin-
tendent of Schools was read by Mr.. Lord,
the local superintendent, calling the at
tention of.the Portland school board to
the efforts which are being made to raise
money among the school children to
build battleship to replace the battle-
ship Maine, and also to raise enough
1900, to be unveiled on July 4th of that
year, in memory of Lafayette. The tate
superintendent proposed that day for
each purpose be set apart in the schools
all over Maine for the collection of this
money. Superintendent Lord intimated
that he was not in favor of this kind of
thing. The mayor and other members of
the school board spoke strongly against
money being raised in the Portland
schools for these purposes, and it was
unanimously voted that it be not allowed.
The school board then adjourned.
