New Castle. Jan. 2L-The proposed bill
10 bond the city to the extent Of $4,000 for
the purpose OF erecting a new school
building should the Board OF Education
deem Il necessary ID build one In the
near future has brought forth multitude
of protests from taxpayers and there Is
little prospect that the measure will be
introduced into the Legislature
The bill was almost the sole topic OF
conversation yesterday and expressions
Of almost every nature except favorable,
were heard on the subject and it is an
admitted fact that should the proposition
be nut 20 a vote that n will be showed
under completely.
Good Suggestions.
The subject, however. has brought
forth number OF good suggestions. any
one Of which might be adopted with ao-
vantage by the board. II has been sug-
gested that If a new school should be
built that it might be erected on Market
Square In the rear Of the Town Hall The
building could be three stories In height,
the two upper stories being devoted To
school purposes while the ground floor
could be used as a market house with a
portion of Il set apart as a waiting room
for the trolley line. BY this method an
annual interest could be paid on the
money invested and the building would be
a benefit to the public as wen as the
school system.
Another suggestion is that the dwelling
portion Of the old jail building be con-
verted into a school house. There Is ann
pie room on the FIRST and second floors
for four school rooms and the building
could be converted into an educational In
sttution with comparatively little cost.
A third suggestion is to the effect that
either the Red Mems and Knights OF
Pythins Hall be rented and used foI
school purposes there being sufficient
room IN both together 10 make four large
rooms. In face Of Tie opposition il 1,
doubtful if tho Board Of Education VIII
ask City Solicitor Cooper TO draw up th'
bill.
