EAGER TO CONSOLIDATE
SUPT. OLSoN'S AGITATION Is AL
READY BEARING FRUIT
Gratifying 1Unantmtty OF Sentiment
in Districts Where ConsoIida-
ton Is Most
Needed.

Since the G o b e made the announce
ment that State Superintendent Olsen
was going to work hard to accomplish
something practicalyin the line of school
consolidation, the idea has been picked
up all over the state and impetus given
it in districts where it is most desired.
Many of the papers throughout the
state have Endorsed the movement NEST
cordially and from the letters received
by Mr.. Olsen it is evident that Mime
sofa is to escape the fate of the older
states. In Massachusetts and Connecti-
cut it took years to cultivate a public
sentiment in favor of this regulation.
The rural communities fought the move
ment bitterly, and it had to force it's
way slowly, step by step until it had
proved concluSively that it was an
economic advantage to the state. In
Minnesota it seems very likely that there
will be no opposition worth mentioning
The project is meeting with so much
favor, and is being taken up with so
much enthusiasm in the thinly populated
districts, that it's success from the be-
ginning is assured.
Supt Olsen has talked this question all
over the state and is quite pleased to see
his efforts bearing fruit so SOON The
Minnesota law makes consolidation en-
tirely optional with the districts inter-
ested. Reports received from Pine, Mile
Laos, Isanti, Chisago, Lac qui Parle, and
several of the southern counties as we'll
indicate that large number of districts
will take the steps necessary to form
central school in the very near future
The next report of the department OF
public instruction will thereby be able TO
give to the legislature fairly complete
statement of, the results of consolidation

Question as to Who Is Responsible
for Repairing These Struc-

in Courts.

Unless prompt steps are taken to pre-

early decay of many of the bridges now
spanning the railroad crossings through
out the city. Smoke and cinders from
passing engines, he says, Is the cause,
and the inevitable, he thinks, is sure to
come at an early date in demand upon
the railroads for reimbursement for the
loss that will be sustained by the city.
The action of the smoke and cinders
from locomotives on the structural iron

like a sand BLAST says Mr.. Claussen,
''and L am confident that at no distant
date the courts will be called upon to de-

The above. in brief. is the story OF
building operations in st. Paul for the
eight months ending with August and it's
comparison with the same period for last
year. Not since the boom times of the
early SOS has it been equaled
AS expected by the city building de-
partment, August, in respect to cost of
building operations, comes off a winner,
and though it has been equaled when
permits for such buildings as the Ryan
hotel, the New York Life and other big
buildings were granted, yet it is cons1d-
cred record breaker, and will go down
in st. Paul building history as such.
An anxious desire to beat out theAnew
building code which goes into effect Mon
day was in all probability responsible
for the rush at the city hall yesterday,
but it helped swell the total and no re-
strictions were imposed by those in
charge.
In all, incl;Aling plumbing applications,
nearly forty permits were issued yeSter-
day, and when the day had closed the
estimated cost of the properties repre-
include permits for plumbing, the major
portion of which are never included in
the value of building operations monthly
given out by the department.
The larger portion of the permits grant
ed yesterday were for residences of mod
crate cost, ranging from $1,000 to $1,000
though there were a number that exceed
ed $4,000 in value. Notably among these
was the $4,000 fiat building to be erected
on Dayton avenue by M. ]. O'Neill; a
fiat building for E. NJ and H. F.. Ware
on Laurel avenue to cost ST, 800; an Office
building for Smith & Taylor, adjoining
for w. c. Winter, Portland avenue and
Mackubn, cost $4,000; City Of St. Paul,
school building Arundel and Mackubin,
cost 100000; Rev. John Rynda, hall and
Western
Rev. L. CosgrOVe and Rev. A. D. Mayer
ca oh two-story parish school buildings,
cost $4,000 each; Samuel Stickney, res
idence, Summit and Lexington cost $18,-
COO; w. D. RaudenbuSh, residence, Avon
and Grotto, cost $1,000.
Plans for each of the buildings for
which permits were secured We're filed
with the building inspector, and their in
SpectiOn neceSSitated an unusual amount
of work. In order that all might be &C
commodated, the office was kept open up
to o'clock, and even after that hour a
number called with plans.
AS compared with the boom of the SOS,
When sky scrapers went UP at rate
that threatened a surfeit of them, the
cred of the substantial kind, and in this
respect the total cost is looked upon as
a record-breaker. The majority of the
buildings put UP have been for a purpose
realized on their completion, and in. no
sense for speculative purposes.
There is a prevailing opinion that next
months building record will see a heavy
drop. but this st. Paul builders and arch
fleets say is not true. All the architects
are busy, and in number of instances
extra men have been put to work in order
to keep pace with the rush.
