The North East School Building
Problem.

By Invitation of the Board of
School Commissioners, the County
Commissioners, Messrs. Patterson,
Spence and Davis, and the School
Commissioners, Messrs. Blake,
Carey and Jenness held a joint
meeting on Wednesday, May 81, to
consult as to the condition of the
North East school.
The Trustees of the North East
school, Messrs. E. G. Lowe and
John L.. Moore, with T. G. Nc
Cracken, J. Gibson CAN'T, Jesse
West and others were also present.
The County Commissioners were
informed as to the proposals receiv-
ed for the new house that they
were above the sum that they had
authorized, and were asked to in
crease the amount. Mr.. Nc
Cracker stated that I. FL. Foard,
ESQ.,, and sister would donate a
piece of high dry land, naming the
the lot, provided that the Commits
sioners would increase the amount
by $1,000. Mr.. Patterson said that
the house could not be erected for
a less sum than that named in'the
proposals. Mr.. Moore and Rev.
Mr.. CAN'T urged that a new house
be granted as the old one Was very
unsafe. Mr.. Spencer stated that
certain persons were not satisfied
with the report on the conditions
of the house as made by Mr.. Strick
land and the Building Inspector of
Baltimore, and it was finally agreed
that Mr.. Patterson select a new in
spector, and the Board adjourned
to meet on the North East grounds
on Saturday, June 3. In accord
ance with above agreement R. A.
Whittingham, Civil Engineer and
Architect of the Pennsylvania Rail
road, examined the building and
reported to the Commissioners on
June 3: "The house is rapidly fall
ing to pieces; it is not safe for child
rem, and | would not advise that it
be repaired. The foundation walls
are not thick enough, and they are
of very poor material; the mortar
is not much more than sand. The
walls above are not thick enough
for the height. 1 would not send
my children to it. You might
have bad accident"
The members of the two Boards
were in joint conference on Tues
day, in reference to the proposed
new building. 1t was held and
agreed that the School Board had
the power to proceed with the erec-
tion of such building as, in judg-
ment, was required and could call
upon the County Commissioners to
meet its cost, which of course, must
be within reasonable limits.
1t would appear that the County
Commissioners could not avoid pro-
viding for the cost of a new build
ing, and that the only question
would be the best method of meet
ing the same. 1t might be provid-
ed for in next years levy or author
ity for bond issue might be sought
at the next session of the Legisla-
ture. Meanwhile, the matter is
left with the School Board, who
probably will take no definite action
for the present.
