URGE ERECTION
OF STRUCTURES
School Directors Opposed
to the Purchase of Lands
Only Out of Bonds Sold
TO RELIEVE CONGESTION
Hayes Valley Merchants OBJ
ject to Block No. 73 as a
Site for Public Library

The Board OF Education yesterday
declared itself opposed to the PROPOSE
ton suggested by the Supervisors
Public Utilities Committee that the
proceeds OF the sale Of portion OF the
school bonds amounting to s65o,6oo be
applied to the Immediate purchase of
lands 70 be used as sites for the build
ings. The committee believes that the
money should be so expended in view
OF the fact that real estate values will
enhance and q saving VIII be effected
by buying the land at once.
The members Of the Board OF Educa-
ton take an opposite view, claiming
that the money should be used to erect
the first seven buildings considered as
absolutely necessary TO relieve over
flowing attendance in several districts.
The object desired is to provide school
facilities In these districts, which will
not be attained if only the sites for
most OF the buildings be purchased.
School Directors Altman and Walsh
were ready to present their case to the
committee yesterday, but a proposed
meeting for the afternoon had been
postponed earlier in the day until next
Friday afternoon.
Walsh has prepared a list OF the
their urgency, as follows:
Washington Grammar, building s119.-
900, lot $4,000; Spring Valley, build
ing $119, ,000 lot S24, 200; Burnett or New

ZOO, lot 81, 900; SunnysIde, building
$4,000; Bergerot, building SIS, 600;

The cost of these seven buildings, in
h1 -fr to fao rob n
gregates the sum of S626. 200, and there
will be $3.50, 800 available from the
bonds sold. There are twenty four
