Cause of Delay

The members of the board have been
criticised severely for the delay i'm call
ing for bids on the new buildings,
which will result not only in made
quate facilities for housing the public
school pupils at the beginning of the
fall term, but also has compelled the
board to pay higher prices for the
work of construction than would have
been the case had the contra cts been
awarded previous to the San Fra n cisco
fire. The school authorities insist, how
ever, that there has been no needless
delay on their part. Much of the re-
sponsibity for the present state of
affairs is placed on the architects
who it is contended failed to prepare
the plans on time.
1t is estimated that about 10000 chill
dren will apply for admission to the
Los Angeles city schools next fall. The
annual report of Superintendent
Moore which was read at the regular
meeting of the board last Monday
! night, shows that a successful and
prosperous year closed on June 20. The
report also included the following
! facts:
There are two high schools, with 81
principals and teachers; 6l primary
and grammar school principals, 295
! teachers in grammar schools, 1884
primary teachers, Sc teachers in kin

The average daily attendance at all
schools was 27,317 and at the primary
schools was @. .339
The number of books in the library,
exclusive of the city library. is %. $50,
valued at $l3.127 The total valuation
of school property is S2.2O9.S47. The
total bonded Indebtedness is 81. .67S. 800

The superintendent called attention
IN his report that from the present
prospect the school facilities will be
overtaXed during the next school year.

total expenditures therefore are likely
to take up the entire appropriation.
All of the buildings are to be
constructed of wood, with one excep-

structure and one of the most complete

which will take up a large part of the
first and second floors. The audi
torium will be fitted up with a stag ge
and will be provided with all the ac-
cessories necessary to the production
of class plays and the holding of
elaborate commencement exercises.
The laboratories and class rooms
will be arranged and equipped es-
pecially for the study of the various
sciences and they will be as complete
as it is possible to make them. AL
though at present the basement will be
used only for the heating, ventilating
and lighting plants, the entire space
under the building will be excavated to
provide for work rooms in case their
establishment should be deemed ad-
visable in the future
Cost Exceeds Estimates
Although the contract prices for
nearly all of the schools are somewhat t
higher than the boards estimates, the
members say that in view of the sharp
advance in building materials they are
we'll satisfied with the figures. There
was a large interval between the time
of the voting Of the bonds and the
calling for bids and it was not until
after the San Francisco fire that the
| board finally was in a position to
award any of the contracts BY that
time prices for lumber had advanced
| Is to 20 per cent, and the cost of con-
struction was necessarily increase
materially. The board, however. ex-
| poets to complete all of the work in
| hand and come well within its appro-
priation.
! 1t had been expected to have most
of the new buildings completed by the
| middle of September, in time for the
opening of the fall term of school. but
with a few exceptions this expectation
is not likely to be realized. Not only
was the awarding of contracts for sew
eral of the schools carried over until
quite late in the season, but in some
instances further delay has been occa-
stoned by reason of the scarcity of
certain sizes of lumber. One of the
bidders on the Seventh street school,
which is merely a four-roOm affair,
made stipulation that he should not
be required to complete the work in
side of four and a half months. his
reason being that it was absolutely inn
possible to obtain the size of joists
specified at present. Doubtless this
same condition will confront some, if
not all, of the other contractors, so
that the members of the board them
selves reluctantly admit that when the
fall term of school opens there prob
| ably will not be as many buildings
ready for occupancy as had been count
ed upon. The work is being pushed as
! rapidly as possible. however, and there
are not likely TO be any further un-
! necessary delays.
