Your attention in the immediate flu

concerning, WHICH there has already
been considerable of discussion in
this city.
One year ago the Common Council
submitted to the electors for their ac-
ton. the question of raising money by
the issue of general city bonds in the
sum of $4,000, to be used in providing
for ventilation.
The electors refused to authorize the
issue of bonds at the special election
then held, and the question will be
again before us with the very urgent
request on the part of the Board of Ed
ucation, that provision be now made
for the installation of proper ventila-
ting arrangements in each of the school
buildings. The council several weeks
ago, authorized the making of detail
plans for ventilating the grade build
ing, upon which it is intended that es-
Inmates of cost shall be obtained For
the high school building, full detailed
plans for what is claimed to be a desir-
able system, and one intended to utilize
considerable portion of completed
work done when that building was
constructed, are now in the, hands of
the Board of Education, the members
of which have endeavored to obtain
information as to the probable cost of
doing the work in both buildings.
While their information has not enabl
ed them to give exact estimates of ac-
tual cost, it isbelieved that the expense
will not fall far short of the sum $4,000,
and it is hoped that it will not exceed
that sum.
In my opinion If anything to to be
done along the line of ventilation the
money must be provided by the issue
and sale of municipal hoods, and in
view of the fact that they were refused
by the electors one year ago, it is gen
orally admitted that If the Council
shall again be persuaded to endeavor,
so far as its action is necessary, to pro-
vide for such expenditure, that it is
proper to again submit the question to
the people.

members is careful physician, the

all members of the Board are Impress
ed with the fact that u proper regard
for their official duties, and for the
health of the scholars under their care,

that they should urge and that the city
should provide for installing ventila-
ton during the summer vacation of
the present year.
The people living on Western Ave-

have for some time been DESTROYS of
sewer facilities, and there are now on
file in the Office of the street commits
sioner, or city clerk, proposed plans
for affording such II system provided
the right of way is obtained, and the
money provided for carrying out either
of them. Since the present council
contains members who are living in
the territory above mentioned, you
will doubtless be urged in the near flu
ture to take action along this line to
give relief which it seems to me ought
to be given.
Other matters will from time to time
claim your attention not only in ron.
