where On Marshall
Street.

It is certain that one sof the sites now
under adyisement by the special commits
tee for the proposed new High School
building Is that now occupied by the
Woman's College. 1t may be definitely
said that the college trustees offered the
lot TO the committee on Wednesday after
noon, and that the main condition is
that the building shall not be disturbed
until utter the next session Of the
college. Indeed 1T Is known that two
sites are now being earnestly considered
by the committee The one is where
the present building stands and the
other the property OF the Woman's Col
lege.
The Powhatan Hotel site has been elm
mated from the contest, and will not be
further discussed.
Fine Location.
The Woman's College lot is consld-
B cred a admirable one. and la favored by
many members OF the committee as
well az OF the Council. For some time
1T has been the desire OF the trustees
TO sell and build a college In the West
End, and II the committee shall finally
decide to purchase the lot, the move
will be the means of building two splen-
Nd new educational structures in the
& city. .
@sltf may De put Gown hs st4Hioet Sei so... 80.
E that the new High School building Will
be on Marshall Street below Eighth, It
Is equally true that sentiment seems
strongly in favor OF securing some, other
site than the present one, and chances
now seem to greatly favor the lot on
which the Woman's College stands,
This affords not only ample room for
an up-to-date building, but sufficient
ground could likely be acquired for
playground. which Is much desired IN
+ connection with the new school.
KS It Is violating no secrets to say that
an ofrer OF sale has been made by the
college trustees to the special commit
tee, but with the understanding that
IL the lot is transferred. the present
building shall not be disturbed until
June 1st, 1906, the next session Of the
Woman's College to be held there.
