r. I. SCHOOL OF DESIGN
OPPOSES TUNNEL PLAN

The trustees Of the Rhode Island School
of Design protest vigorously against the
location of the new East Side tunnel as
recommended to the common council by
the joint special committee on East Side
approach The tunnel would go directly
through the basement OF the school.
The board of trustees at its meeting
yesterday authorized President Bates to
name a committee of three to oppose ir
every way the proposed Makepeace tun-
mel. The committee consists OF stephen O
Metcalf, Seeber Edwards and Theodore
Francis Green. The board believes that
the proposed tunnel would totally unfit
the institution sor the purposes for which
II was established.
The executive committee has temper
arily filled the vacancy caused by the re.
cent resignation OF Director e. B. Homer
by making Mrs. Gustave Radeke temper
ary director. Mrs Radeke is recognized as
one of the leading sponsors of the Schoo
Of Design and has for years been keenly
interested in all that pertains to its wef
fare.

collars at the shop where Bully
