MAY OPEN NO. z MONDAY |
Board Of Education May
Wait for Vacation to
Make Repairs.

Plans regarding sessions in NO IL
School, on Crescent avenue and Astor
place are indefinite. At the rooms OF the
Board of Education this afternoon no
one could be found who knew whether or
not the school is to be opened for sessions
Monday morning. The matter will prob
ably be settled tomorrow.
The majority of the members of the
Board are in favor of opening imme-
diately. 1t is thought that this action
will finally be decided upon in spite of the
condition of the building.
The contractor, Neil Campbell, stopped
work yesterday saying that his part of
the contract had been carried out as far
as hecould 60 This included the building
of a sewer, toilet rooms and some internal
repairs. The work that remains to be
done, he said, is that of laying the cement
in the yards. 1t cannot be done, until
after the fifteenth tof April. This work
is included in the contract. The frost in
the ground is responsible for the delay.
The Board of Education can postpone the
work two weeks beyond that date If it SO
desire.
The condition of the walls and roof OF
No. 12 have been told many times by
s"The News" They need repairing badly
but the members of the Board of Educa-
ton are undecided as to whether it would
be wise to continue the repairs or wait
until vacation before doing the work. 1t
is said that if the work is begun no"
much time will belost to the pupils.
Mr. Wiseman, the clerk of the Board OF
Education, said this afternoon that ne
thought the members were in favor OF
opening the school Monday, and leaving
the roof and wall repairs untiltvacation
time. He also said the roof leaked, but
that the building was not in deplorabie
condition.
Director w. H. Quinn of No. II asked
the Board of Finance for an extra appro-
priation for the walls and roof. the
amount is about $1,000 It will be appro-
Driated
