The diamond drill. (Crystal Falls, Iron County, Mich.) 1887-1996, 1903-03-14

cbFSIn ngure II Is necessary 70 have
more than one school. I think me
building ought 10 be put up now u
take care OF what we have and tina
that binding ought not to be located
with view to being central but with
an idea, later on, when this place
grows, as 1t certainly is going to do,
of erecting another school in different
quarter. OF. course that is looking
away ahead but the general mistake in
school matters is that the people dom
look far enough ahead and hence their
improvements become Anticipated in a
very short time, think that site
back of the courthouse good one.
NJ. j Lindsay; | think we need
a school house but should say that
before making any estimates of the
amount we should bond for the
school board should lay plans and
estimates before the people and give
us data to work from. ] am in favor
of putting new school house on that
fiat back of the courthouse but before
that is done | want TO see the streets
opened mp 80 that there will be no
after clap OF having to buy streets from
Someone who owns lots lying between.
T.. A. Henry - We need new
school and good school | am not
prepared to say what amount ought to
be spent as have no idea. II we
need $40, 600 it ought to be that sum and
! less II IL should be less. don't want
to see any such an underestimate az
was made in the waterworks business.
Let ) raise enough at the outset to put
up modern building. / do not want
TO see the matter rest where it is now.
II nothing can be done otherwise
call a mass meeting OF the citizens and
let's agree on something. We need the
school and | can / see why disagree
ment between one or two persons in
the district should deprive the whole
Of the people Of this district from school
facilities.
Irving II. jackson We must have
a school but / do not think that the
bill introduced at the instigation OF
the board ought to be assed. The
township ought to be represented ON
the board by one or two persons who
are residents of the township but
elected by the whole people
II remember correctly 10 room
building was built at Sturgeon Bay
recently at cost of S32, 600. 1t is just
about the Kind of building that we
need here. / would suggest that the
people Of the city get togetheer and
effect compromise of their difficulties
so rs TO get a school
G. Pfeifer - We need school
building but can't see why four
men should 90 ahead and put re-
organization bill through without
consulting all of the people. I'm in
favor of everyone looking into this
matter and all agreeing on school
bill of some kind. We need the school
but let us have the thing done right.
Otto GesKie have hear great
deal of talk about this school business
and don see why all Of the people
were not consulted I'm in favor of
building new school but want to see
things done right
! Jas. McCourt;- We ought to have
( n new school The district cant
worry along longer with that shakey
old shack The first thing that we
know it will fall down and kill twenty
or thirty children and then we'll be
( kicking ourselves that we didn't build
before it happened. We ought to have
one big school house that will accom-
modate all the children and do away
with the little houses that we have
been maintaining,
w. F. Sanborn - We want a school.
: That much / know and we need it
badly Regarding the other provision
of the proposed act over which there
is contention, ! am not enough inform
cd to express an intelligent opinion.
We ought by all means to have good
school house built. One that will be
large enough and modern enough to
answer our needs. have no idea how
mach II ought TO cost but know that
1t will cost "a great deal
Hendricks - We need a new school
and ought to have one but l don like
the deal that was being put up on us.
/ haven't laid awake nights to think
this matter over so can't say just
What think ought to be the method
OF procedure. :.
