Board Leaves the High school Loca-
tiOn Open Again.


tion Open Again.
The meeting of the Board of Education
last night again failed to bring about a
selection of a site for the proposed new
High school building. After the board had
for nearly three hours listened to citizens
some of whom wanted the school located
on the Oakland avenue site and others who
were opposed to it being built anywhere
north of Broadway and after the board
had by vote decided 10 take action in
the matter Member Moore urged it be
delayed. He said he understood that other
sites would be offered and parties who had
proposals before the board were coming
down in their prices and by delaying the
selection for a few days the district might
be saved anywhere from $500 to LOCO in
the purchase of a site. Member Henry was
OF the same opinion as Moore and a mo-
tion to reconsider carried. Sims, Swaine and
Stewart voting against it. 1t was then de-
cided to adjourn to Monday night and that
all new proposals must be in the hands
of the secretary by this afternoon.
Residents of the Fourth ward, who are
opposed to the school being located on the
Oakland avenue site and consider that one
of the sites offered in their particular ward
should be selected, attended the meeting in
full force, They were backed up by a
large delegation from the Fifth ward
while the people of the First, Second and
Third wards who favor the Oakland avenue
location, were also we'll represented The
crowd was the largest that has been pres
ent at any of the meetings OF the board
50 far since the site question came up. The
board room was filled to overlooking and
more than half the crowd present had to
be satisfied with seats in the corridor.
The speechmaking Was started by For
rest Smith, a real estate agent interested
in having the school located in one OF the
two sites offered on Fifth avenue. In sup
port of his position he presented maps Of
the city with diagrams showing that the
center of the population lay nearer his
sites than Oakland avenue
He was followed by Attorney w. S Mayne
who appeared for interested parties living
northeast of Fifth avenue and who favored
the site on Oakland avenue
Attorney Harl appeared for citizens who
desire the school placed on the Oakland
avenue tract He was provided with a
wealth OF statistics tending to show that
this site was the most convenient for the
largest number Of children attending school
in the city, He produced figures TO show
that there were 2,4l3 children attending
schools north OF Broadway as against / ,9S9
attending schools south Of Broadway. The
number OF pupils attending schools north
Of the sites on Fifth avenue he showed,
was S,015, as against LOSE south OF Fifth
| avenue, or three to one who would find
the Oakland avenue site more accessible
than IL the school were located on Fifth

In refutation of the statement that the
Oakland avenue site was on the top of q

SIOUN FALLS, s. D., March 3l-lSpe-
cal. 1.-The people living on the bottom
lands along the Big Sioux and other streams
look upon the cool weather as a godsend.
Had the weather turned suddenly warm
after the recent heavy storms, the rapid
melting Of the vast quantities of snow would
have entailed untold damage to the property
of farmers by overflows. Under the in
luence of the cool weather, the snow has
melted slowly and the streams have been
able to carry away the water without diff
ticulty. The greater portion of the snow
has now melted in this manuner, and a
sudden change to much warmer cannot
cause dangerous floods.

Ross street on which the property abuts was
ninoty-three feet lower than High school
avenue where the present High school is
situated. The figures also showed that
when the property is graded the building
would be on a level with the second floor
Of the Washington avenue school.
In locating the school on the Oakland
avenue site Mr.. Harl said the board would,
by being able to heat both the new High
school and the Washington avenue school
with one plant. save between 5000 and 500
a year.
Chris Straub spoke shortly on the ques-
tion of foundations and said it was his
opinion that II the school was located on
any one OF the sites on the bottoms, mean
ing the Fourth ward, IL would take $4,000
extra to properly pile the building.
MT. Straub was followed by Lucius Wells
who spoke in favor Of the Oakland avenue
site which he said contained between g., 600
and 10000 square feet, or twice as much
area as any other site offered He was OPP
posed to placing the school at Fifth avenue
and Seventh street as the noise of the street
cars would interfere with the pupils. He
also contended that a proper foundation for
such building as the board intended
erecting could not be had on the bottoms,
ana In support oil TINS referred TO an expert
ence Deere, Wells G. Co. had had when
building their implement warehouse on
South Main street.
Attorney |. N. Flickinger, who prefaced
his remarks by saying he represented the
people of the Fourth ward, spoke against
the Oakland avenue site and suggested that
the board leave the matter of the selection
of site to a committee OF citizens. He
asked the board to postpone action in tho
matter until other proposals for sites could
be submitted.
Spencer Smith, ]. ]. Steadman and S. n.
Snyder also made short talks in favor of
the Oakland avenue site.
After the speech making the board took a
recess of ten minutes and on reconvening it
was understood that the board had practic-
ally decided on selecting the Oakland ave-
nue. site and Member Moores motion to
further delay the matter came as a great
surprise.
