"To the honorable the President

Gentlemen-YOur committee com
posed Of Messrs. DR.. g. Sabatier as
chairman, P. r. Burke, J f. Du-
puy, A. B. Murray and l.. @.
Hacker, appointed by this board
on the 18th day of April, 1904, to
visit and select suitable site for
the erection of a public school at
East End in this city, respectfully
submits this their report.
At the request Of this board, we
visited the several lots in East End,
offered as site for the erection of
the new public school building,
and after mature consideration, we
unanimously recommend the lot
offered by Mr.. Geo. NJ. Robertson,
situated on the Southeast corner
Of Lee and Charles streets, with a
front of two hundred and thirty
eight feet on Lee street by depth
of one hundred and twentyseven
feet and two inches on Charles
street.
In making this selection, we
were Influenced by the advantage
of having lot with ample room
to accommodate a spacious modern
school building, with two large
recreation grounds on each side
of the building, one for the girls
and one for the boys. This lot,
though, not far from Main street
is sufficiently removed therefrom
and from the Railroad to insure
quiet, which is so essential to a
schoOlrOom.
We therefore, unanimously re-
commend the purchase of the lot
hereinabove described for the
site of the school house.
