sum sufficient to erect permanent and
suitable building, which would be a
model of comfort and convenience
Fifth. That we find that it will be
necessary to have more school room to
open our schools with this fall, as the
high school gave up it's much needed
recitation rooms to bridge over the chasm
during the past year. which, in order to
retain it's high standing with the state
departments, they must have the use of
next fall, or our standard will fall. The
numerous complaints coming from the
state department must not be ignored
any longer, or our city as an educational
center will suffer. 49, ~.' -
Therefore, Your committee has con-
cluded that considering everything
health first, education second, economy
third the most feasible way to correct
the conditions will be to erect four
room primary school building, which can.
be completed for about $4,000, which, if
erected near the present site, can be
heated by one boiler, which, when the
heating system of the old building has
to be remodeled, can all be heated from
one boiler, and save the additional cost
and labor of maintaining two heating
plants; That this committee would rec
ommend the erection of said building as
near the south line of the present site as
prudent, and have the. same face on
Swift street; That the contract for said
building should be let at an early date
in order to complete the building for
opening the schools this fall. Consider
ing the short space of time to erect said
building, your committee has procured
plans without cost to the district, and
offer the same for inspection. 5
