A special meeting of the South Port
land school board was held on the 10Th
in order to make arrangements for bring
ing before the board Of aldermen the
question of much increase of school facil-
tiles in case that board decides against
the erection of new school buildings 1t
was decided that the school board should
ask that the building in Ward . be
raised one story, and the School street
house in Ward be repaired; also that
the buildings In Wards . and be raised
an additional story. In order to bring
the matter expeditiously and intelIigently
before Ethe aldermanic board. it was
voted that contractors and builders be in
vited to make estimates on the desired
work, the same to be considered as bids
in case the aldermen decide to make the
asked for changes. 10 such end estimates
for the work to be done on the East
High street building in Ward 1 should be
sent to Mr.. @. A. Hilton; for the School
street building in Ward to DR.. Frank
I. Brown; for the building at Town
House corner to Mr.. Geo. f. Delano, and
for the Cash Corner district to Mr.. Chas
A. Dawson. Each Of these gentlemen
viii give the details of the work upon
application.
The proposition of the school board is
that by thus inviting estimates from
builders, it will be possible to lay before
the aldermanic board without delay, the
exact amount of money needed for the
devised repairs. 1t seems desirable that
time should be economical as much as
possible in order that, if the city council
conclude to have the work done, it may
be begun sufficiently early to complete
the repairs before the opening of the fall
term Of school
