MORE ROOM NEEDED.


of the North Side High School Monday
night The objects of the meeting We're
set forth by Mr. Sedgwick He stated that
additional floor room was needed for the
minor grades. it being impossible to
longer devote the entire upper floor of
the high school building to the high
school pupils without additional rooms
for the lower grades If the entire upper
floor is used by the high school then new
rooms or a new building is necessary to
accommodate lower grades. If room for
the Sth grade is taken ON the upper floor
the high school will be crippled The
little Norwegian church ON north 18th
street which it was proposed to use will
not hold all the Sth grade. An addition
to the Luling school is the most feasible
way of obtaining the additional room
that is required. 1t was proposed to buy
the park west of the Luling school on
which to build the addition. AT present
the school owns the ground only p feet
to the west of the Luling school Mr.
Wood, on behalf of eastern parties has
agreed to sell the ground in question for
81 600 The proposed building is to con-
tain two stories, one room to each story
and to cost 81, 900. 1t is proposed to
replace the present defective heating APP
paratus in the Luling school and also
supply the addition with heating appar-
atns all of which will cost $4,000. The
furniture required will amount to $500,
making the cost of the proposed improve
ments amount to some 81, 600 in all,
The present Indebtedness If the school
district will be liquidated ON Feb. next.
1t is proposed to pay the cost of the inn
provements in yearly installments OF
81 600 each for nine years and $1,000 the
tenth year
Prof Evans then spoke on the amount
of additional room required and why it
is necessary. He stated that although
the high school room was crowded to its
utmost capacity last year there promises
to be twenty more pupils enrolled this
year than there We're last year. Regular
recitation rooms have already been par
titioned to secure more recitation rooms.
1t has been even necessary to hold reel
tations in the basement The inconven-
fences of this are obvious. Mr.. Evans
~ hat Ia on hA
east of the upper floor of the high school
building and which was occupied last
year by the Sth grade. be given over tt
the use of the high school and that add
tional rooms be built to accommodate
the Sth grade This additional room has
become necessary for the high school be
cause the number of students is increas
ing each year and more graduate than
formerly. Although the increase is con
fined mostly to the district yet there are
many country pupils coming in yearly
and it would be detrimental to the high
school to cut them off for lack of room
Fifteen country pupils We're enrolled last
year, three or four of whom graduated
Mr.. Ed Nash spoke of the pride
the patrons of the district have always
had in their high school which has al
ways been fully equipped in all essential
features, and urged that the addition be
built at once so as to stop budding the
Sth grade and the high school pupils on
floor too small to accommodate them
He stated that the addition can be com
pleted and ready for use by Jan. l. ac-
cording to Architect Tegen.
Mr.. Torrison moved for an informal
ballot on the whole proposition OF erect
ing and equipping an addition to the
| Luling school The vote was unanim-
Gus in favor of the proposition
| Mr.. Sedgwick spoke in regard to the
law governing the issue Of bonds by
school districts and stated the road was
clear of all legal distractions.
The clerk then read the resolution
drawn up by the board in regard to the
purchase of the real estate for the site
of the addition, which resolution was
adopted The other resolutions in re-
gard to the erection and equipment Of
the addition, the heating apparatus. the
furniture, and the architects fee were
then read and adopted separately.
The resolution empowering the district
to borrow $4,000 at per cent. to be
paid in ten annual installments AZ above
described was then voted on by ballot
and adopted almost unanimously, the
number of votes cast being 36, of which
80 We're for and 1 against the resolution.
The meeting then adjourned.
