SELECTED YESTERDAY.

| the SpecificatiOns-Laud atOry Resolu'
ton Concerning Mr. Mtrick.
| The board of education held a special
| meeting at s o'clock yesterday after
noon TO hear and act upon the report
OF the special committee on the seiec-
| ton of plans for the new high school
| building. The committee consulted MI
Faxon, a consulting architect of Bos-
| ton, and considered the plans for the
building submitted by architects in
competition. Three sets of plans were
submitted, and of these the committee
recommended the selection Of the plans
marked No. 3.
At the board meeting held yesterday
afternoon the committee presented and
recommended the adoption of resolu-
ton providing that plans No be Sc
lected, subject to the conditions of the
specifications as to cost of the building,
etc. 1t was further provided that the
committee should consult with the arch
itect, whose plans were selected, to de-
terInine whether the building can be
constructed according to those plans
for the appropriation, $230,000. The res
olution was adopted. Until this matter
is settled the plans will not be finally
adopted.
The plans submitted by the architects
were numbered, and the names of the
architects competing were unknown to
the committee when the selection was
made. After the board had approved
the committees selection envelope No
i,iy Of ornhitQnt
submitting the plans of that number,
was opened and was found to contain
the names of the firm of Brown & Won
Beren. The other two envelopes were
not opened
The plans favored by the board are
for square three story building in
which the rooms are to be arranged
about central court, In this court Is
the large assembly room. The other
two plans submitted did not provide for
a building to come within the appro-
priatiOn of $3.50 900, and consequently
were practically out of the competition,
although one of these two sets was
more satisfactory to the board than
the one selected. 1t Is said that the
Boston architect who has been consult
ed by the committee is of the opinion
that none Of the plans is for building
that can be constructed within the ap-
preparation.
The committee will meet with the ar
chitects whose plans were selected Mon
day evening and will then consider de-
tails of the plans.
