An important question before the Board
Of School Commissioners at it's meeting
last night was the advisability Of obtain
ing other quarters for the business depart
ment of the schools. The suggestion was
made by Charles w. Moores. president of
the board. that on account of the growing
demands Of the public library more room
is required by it. There were 621 volumes
added to its shelves last month, and there
is no place to put them. 1t was suggested
by Superintendent Kendall that the board
probably could find quarters in the Short
ridge annex. and the matter was referred
10 the committee on buildings and grounds.
A resolution was offered by Commissioner
Sickles to the effect that the bills presented
by the business director for payment be
allowed in the sum of s4s.s07.s2. The reso-
luton was adopted. OF this amount, $751;
1865 was expended for buildings and i'm
provements.
John y. Cleland. business director, re-
ported that he had closed the deal for the

The manner OF joining the building of
the Shortridge High School with the new
structure which is to be erected on the
north side was discussed by the board,
and finally referred 10 the business d.
rector and superintendent, who will con-
suit with the architect.
