BRAzER PLANS FAVORED
School Board Wanted Additional
$500 for the Building In Bar

Members of Board Present.

Although the Board of Education
decided that $4,000 more was need
ed in order to erect the two new
schools according to the present
plans on which bids have been receiv-
ed, the Board of Estimate, Saturday
night, refused the additional appro-
priation.
Secretary Colyer was instructed to
return the matter to the school board,
with instructions to modify the plans,
so that the schools can be built with
In the 100000 appropriation. This
was the official decision of the board.
The entire board was present and
a number of interesting points were
brought up. AS the meeting was not
public, just exactly what was said is
not known, but It is understood that
Architect Brazer's plans were spoken
of, and the school board criticised
for not accepting them.
President Bradley of the Board of
Education, stated that the present
plans had exceeded the appropria-
tion and that $25, 900 more was need
led. Mayor Bollschweiler stated that
the limit had been reached and that
he thought that the two schools
could be built within the present ap-
preparation and advised that the
plans be modified. The question OF
rejecting the plans of John H. Day
ton and ]. X. Jensen was brought up
and discussed, but no action was TAX
en- officially toward having the school
board do this.
The Board of Education meets to-
morrow night and the matter will be
taken up at that time and some de-
cision reached.
The meeting of the Board of Esti-
mate was scheduled for 4 o'clock Sat
urday afternoon, but the plans were
changed and it took place at city hall
at s o'clock in the evening, and last

board; Alderman-at-Large Voorhees,.
