ROWLAND'S FEE.
Mr.. Brock Protests Against
the City's Architect
Getting Special Com
pensation for
High School
Plan.

When the Board of Finance, at the
request of the Board of Education was
about to vote upon a resolution to issue
school bonds to raise $1,000 for the
purchase of the Harrison estate as a
High School site yesterday, Commission
er Brock asked to know why the amount
was fixed at 100000, when the purchase
price of the property is only ss5 1000.
President Ringle replied that archi-
tects' fees and other items were to be
included in the 100000 raised by the
issue.
Mr. Brock declared that would be ir-
regular and he asked if an architect had
been already engaged He was told that
Architect Rowland was to draw the
plans. Mr.. Brock contended that the
architect to the Board of Education was
paid for his services by the year, to draw
plans for any school building, and that
the Board had no right to allow him ex-
ira compensation. 1t was also contend
ed by Mr. Brock that no official or GER
titled copy of the Board of Education's
request had been received by the Board.
In addition to these matters Commits
sioner Brock said that many taxpayers
agreed with him that the HARRISON site
was not a proper site for a High School
anyhow, and he criticized the city's law
department for failing to make the Cen
trail Railroad pay $1,000 back taxes on
the property. The Railroad Company,
he said, had for years lodged local TAXA
tion on the property on the ground that it
was to be used in the future for railroad
purposes. The falsity of that claim,
urged Mr.. Brock, is that it is to be
used as site for a High School He
prophesied that the Railroad Company
would fight any attempt to collect from
it the back taxes which are a lien on
the property, and that when the city
finally got title to the property the title
would be cloudy.
