gineer Commissioner, the duty Of going
over the school situation with reference to

Association, the Commissioners expressed
their unwillingness to enter into proceed

this would be a considerable hardship to
the property on both streets except at the
western end, near Lincoln road.
AS a counter proposition Capt. Morrow
suggested that the District authorities
would look with favor upon any measure
