There is no prospect OF new addi.

will be emphasized as it is we'll known
that the manual training department

There remain three public or ward
school buildings which will have to be
remodeled to some extent and this can
be done next summer. Following these
improvements the school board will
have from twelve to fifteen thousand
dollars a year whicA has been spent
regularly for the Improvement of the
ward buildings TO put toward the new
high school addition.
With the crowded conditions last
year and several years previous. it has
thus been shown that the city of
Richmond needs an addition to the
high school building.
several residents have expressed the
view that the new addition should be
erected IL the school board has to go in
debt for it. and that future patrons of
the school should be required to pay a
portion of the expense of the con-
struction. All the expense they say
should not be borne by present pa
irons.

Prosecutor Jessup states that Ha-

Prosecutor Jessup also states that

form of gambling has been permitted
in some parts of the state notwiths

violation of the state law.
The opening day at the Hagerstown
