VI IhaC III would require at least
elght rooms additional to accommo
GATE properly the present school pop
ulatlon, without provision for the
increase which Is sure to be within
the next two years, and that il will
require rat least three buildings of
lour rooms each TO properly meet the
demand. One OF these should be on
Methodist hill, one on College hill,
ana one on Military hill, which would
cake care OF the younger children on
theSe nils and give room at the high
school building for the lower classes
colhposed OF those llVlng on Sunny
side and for the high school, with
two additional grades.
VII The estimated cost of build
ing three brick school buildings is
Szi,oOo out two brick and one frame
could be built for $4,000.
VIII. mat it Will be impossible
10 continue for another year even as
they are now running, without addi-
tlonal buildings, and unless these
buildings are erected this year, a
large portion of the children will be
unable to attend the public schools
and families will be forced to leave
town on account of the want of
school facilities.
IN. The only possible way by
which these buildings can be built
Is for the citizens to raise the money
by subscription.
y. Your committee recommends
the following plan for raising the
necessary funds:
lal Organize corporation with
capital stock of $4,000, divide into
1000 shares of $50 each.
