SPECIAL ELECTION
BaraSa School Board Takes Decisive
Steps In the Matter Of New
School Buildings.

At special meeting OF the board
of education of Baraga township
held Saturday last, decisive steps
were taken in the matter Of building
several new school houses.
Some time ago, circular letters
were sent to the taxpayers request
ing their views on the subject, with
the result that a majority of the
answers returned contained an as
senting vote.
Upon receipt of this the board
called special meeting for the pur-
pose OF discussing the proposition
with Architect H. T. Leibert. OF
Hancock, and according to his idea
it would be far better and in fact
cheaper in the end to build new
buildings than to make any pretense
at additions to the present ones. Mr.
Leibert explained to the members OF
the board, wherein such would be
the case, especially concerning the
High School House. He showed the
impractibility from heating stand
point, likewise many others.
After listening to the various ex.
planation on the points in question
the board made the following reso'
buttons:
Resolved, that 1t is the sense oI
this board that three school houses
be(built, one in the village Of Baraga
