evening to discover. if possible, just
where it stands with respect to the oc-
| cUpancy OF the old University build
ings, and the committee on buildings
and grounds was directed to interview
the state land board fully in regard to
the matter at once. The action of the
board was oeeasioued by the presenta-

| grounds Of acquisitions from various
schools for improvements and extras,
the total cost OF which was estimated

Status Of High School
The $1,O21.5O for the High school en-
bTaced an item Of 5000 for additional
toilet accommodations and another of
$500 for Office fittings in Mr.. MeKay's
department. Mr.. Geoghegan OBJECTED
to the Improvements at the High school
until it was known how long the High
school would remain in the building. or
until the board learned as to whether
any refund would be made by the state
for such Improvements, and suggested
that the owners be asked to make the
necessary additions.

thai the city was being given the build
ing rent free, and Mr.. Walker thought
that under that condition the board
should make the improvements at once.

datiOns was referred to the committee
