amount originally fixed as necessary for
school purposes was 81, 500 900. Prior to

Ian and President Bergerot of the Board
OF Education came together and agreed
that 81 900 900 would do, and the amount
was forthwith reduced to that figure.
Charles Bundschu was first to speak
TO the board He argued solely for the
Lowell High School, and said that il was
the unanimous desire of the residents of
his district that they be treated as well
at least as was the Mission, when the
Mission High School was erected.
Attorney Frank Gould represented the
Western Addition Improvement Club, and
he, too. spoke for the Lowell High School
He said the voters in the district would
be more strongly inclined to vote for the
bond issue If they were assured that a
due portion of the amount would come
back to them in the shape of substantial
improvements. He pointed out also that
every other section of the city had been
better treated in the way of handsome
school buildings than the Western Addi-
r lion.

ated Improvement Clubs. echoed the opin-
ions OF the previous speakers, and Super
visor Perrault a t once moved 70 raise the
visor Aigeltnger backed him. Mayor

but Supervisor Aigelunger opposed him
and said that education was one thing

shown in any other than the School De
Then Assistant Superintendent of
Schools Marks came in and sthe Mayor
asked him If the department could get
along without the administration and
truant school buildings. Marks replied 1t
could if it tried. and his Honor suggested
that Sl.400 coo be fixed as the amount.
LaCkmann moved as an amendment that
a vote AigelUnger, Attridge, Collins and
Perrault voted no because they wanted
a million and a half instead of the lesser
figure. They afterward changed their
vote and made ii unanimous.
