Mr.. ROSE GIVES PLANS.
A Meeting Saturday Night on The
School Proposition.

The court house was about half
full of citizens Saturday night to dis
cuss further the high school PROPOSE
ton. R. A. Charles called the meet
ing to order and introduced w. W.
Rose, an architect from Kansas
City, Kansas. Mr.. Rose began by
stating that he considered $50, 900
enough to meet the present demands
of the city. To this the board had
agreed after bearing his ideas on the
matter. F. V. Russell read the
Boards proposition. which appears
in full in another part of this paper.
The. architect showed a drawing of
the proposed high school in Larned
and started that he thought the Great
Bend school should be about 80 feet
wide and 80 deep to match up well
with the grounds.
F. G. Strothman wanted to know
what the cost of the building itself
would be. Mr.. Rose estimated be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000. Bal
ance of the amount to be devoted to
heating apparatus and chemical and
manual training departments Con-
sidered double floors absolutely es-
sential. In regard to method of heat
ing, regarded hot air most practic-
able. Hot water never used in
school buildings. Steam heat too
costly. Architect said grounds were
large enough for high school purposes,
and understood the six rooms below
were to be used as grade rooms
merely temporarily.
Russell re-read boards PROPOSE
ton, and explained the seeming haste
to have been because of anxiety to
have the building erected by opening
of next falls term. Further to keep.
the election within this year on ac-
count of registration and desire to
have full vote on the proposition.
