SITE FOR HIGH SCHOOL
Eleven of Them Have Been Offered for
the Consideration of the Board
of Education.
Prices are Reasonable, Ranging from
Free Gift to $1,S00-Board
to Act Soon.

The question of site for the pro-
posed new high school building for
Redw wood Falls seems to be agitating
the public mind more than any,
thing else on the public bill boards
at the present time. So great is
the interest taken in the matter
that President A. e. King of the
board of education, as rapidly as he
receives a proposition for a site,
causes the same to be bulletined in
the postofice, and over all the prop
ositions he has magnificent color
drawing of the new building, CIV
ing residents an idea of just how
the building would look on the var
ious sites proposed.
The board of education has not
yet fixed upon a time when it will
give final consideration to the ques-
ton. The members prefer to let
the public discuss the matter thor
oughly and then do as majority of
the tax payers wish them to do, and
it may not be amiss to say that the
members may allow the public to
vote on the proposition. Access to
sewerage and water system, con-
venience of location, and desirable
ity from typographical standpoint.
must all be taken into considera-
ton, and people interested should
look upon the proposition in that
light.
Up to last Saturday evening elev-
en- sites had been offered to the
board. with the prospect of one or
two more being placed on the list.
The prices in nearly every case,
are reasonable, and that a good site

is going to be secured at low fig
ure, there is no doubt.
Robinson & Co. offer lots and 6,
block 2, Hitchcock 1st addition to
Redwood Falls, for $500. This is a
tract 100 feet square, where the
tabernacle stood, and N. V.R. Hun
ter suggests that it is consecrated
ground and would be just the place
for the building.
Till Tibbetts offers a tract 100
feet square on the southwest cor
ner of block 10, Third and Mime
sofa, for the purpose, and will sell
the same for $500. One or two
members favor the site at the pres
ent time.
F. A. Gray offers to donate free
of charge tract 200 feet square on
the hill in Ramsey Heights, over
looking the lake and city, and his
free offer is likely to appeal to the
board.
Probably one of the most desir-
able of all the sites offered, provid-
ing the grading can give it the
proper topography, is that of the
Martin heirs, who will sell audi
tor S lot No. for 5000. This lot is
at the north end of Washington
avenue, extending up and down
Bridge street for distance of 200
feet, and contains over six acres of
land, running as far north as what
is known as little falls. Consider
able grading and diking would be
necessary if the site was selected.
A building of the magnitude of the
high school building looking up
Washington avenue at this point
would be stunning. The objection
is that the surroundings are not
definite and Objectionable interests
might secure the surrounding prop
erty.
