Mayor Bollschweiler has called a
meeting of the Board of Estimate,
which consists of the mayor, three
aldermen, and three school commits
sioners, for tonight at the city hall,
when the matter of issuing bonds to
the amount of $4,000 for the erec-
tion of new eighteen-room school,
al Barracks and New Streets, will be
taken up.
President William p. Bradley, of
the Board of Education, said today
that the bond matter would be the
only thing considered, and that the
budget for school money from the city
would not be taken up. The reason
for this, President Bradley said, was
because the school board did not
know how much money they would
receive from the state, as bill is
pending in the legislature which may
change the amount.
Mr.. Bradley could not tell when
work on the new school would be
started, as the plans have not yet
been drawn, but it is hoped to have
1t under way this summer.
