Board Of Education Again Con-
sidering the Enlargement Of
Central School Building
MAY ASK F0R BOND ISSUE.
Board Unwilling to Ask the City for a
Straight Appropriation, bnt IF
Bonds Can Be Issued The
Work Will Be Done

The. Board of Education at their
meeting, held at the city hall Tuesday
evening, revived the old plan of en-
larging the Central school building in
order to make this building more
suited for use as a high school build
ing. The plan for this work was first
brought forward more than a year
ago, but with the building of the pro-
posed school on the West side of the
city the members of the board deemed
that it would be unwise to ask the city
council to make another appropriation
for the enlargement of the Central
building. For this reason a few
hundred dollars was spent in chang
ing the Central building last year,
but it has been found that the changes
made have not improved conditions
ard the enlargement is necessary.
Plans for the proposed additions
were made some time ago by Archi-
tect Gaastra and his estimate of the
cost of the proposed addition is $25,
900. This, added to the $4,000 de-
n1anded for the new West side school,
would make it necessary for the city
to raise nearly hundred Thousand
dollars for school purposes next year.
The matter was discussed from many
points by the members of the board
and a majority were of the opinion
that it would be impossible for the
city to meet any such demand at this
time. The proposition brought for
ward was for the city to issue bonds to
provide for the changes in the school
building.
The committee was ordered to take
this matter up with the city council at
once and see if plan for bond
issue could be devised. Kenosha peo-
pie have always tonight SHY of bond
issues and it is probable that bond
issue even for the additions to school
building would meet with pronounced
opposition.
There IS no doubt bnt that the addi-
ton is badly needed, but it is feared
that the board will have considerable
trouble in securing the money. It has
been definitely decided that the pro-
posed West side building is to go up
during the coming summer and this
building. will take all of the money
that the city can afford to put into the
school board fund,
In the absence of President Theirs,
who is now in California, Commits
sioner James Cavanagh presided over
the deliberations Of the board, and in
his capacity of presiding officer he
brought up the discussion IN regard to
the enlargement Of the. Central build
ing.
Little other business of Importance
| was transacted at the meeting.
Miss Loretta Toner was employed
a grade teacher to take the place
made vacant by the resignation Of
Miss Anna Adams.
The building and grounds COM
mittee was instructed to see to it that
some plan was made for heating the
| Weiskopf school for the coming
election days.
After the allowance of the usual
number of bills the board adjourned.
| There will be but one more meeting
of the present board and Immediately
after the next meeting a nev board
will go into Office.

Tuesday the editor was held up in
a manner that soaked up all his digni-
ty. He had just been out to get sup
ply OF cigars to last through some Of
his hearty editorials, when he met a
couple Of cowboys, known all over the

proceeded to possess themselves Of all
che surplus cigars in the EDITORS peck
cts, but left his watch some small
change, and few personal trinkets.
Tuck would be a pretty nice fellow il
It were not for the influence Of Bert,
who leads him into all kinds Of devil
ment, It is likely that no action will
be taken, as both have respectable
family connections.

In his final forecast of the result
Of the election in this county, J. c. /

"As to the county officers we now
have entire confidence in the election
Of every man on it. It looks very
much like a clean sweep. The con-
tests on sheriff, clerk and recorder and

only close ones, but everything indi-

will be chosen. The other candidates
will all receive handsome majorities.

will elect every one Of our nominees.
"This forecast is, Of course, based
upon the expectation that every Re-
publican will do his full duty. The
lines are so strictly drawn and the
issues involved are so important that
every member Of the party, without
urging, should make personal effort
to swell the Republican majority to
the largest possible figure"

voters before election day, the Argus
