Board Of Education Will Probably
Submit Matter for an
Early Election.
ACTING UNDER THE NEW LAW
Last Legislature Provided for Increase
OF Bonded Indebtedness for
school Purposes.

Tho committee on buildings and
grounds OF the city board of education
will recommend to the board at It's
meeting tonight that immediate steps
be taken looking 20 the issuance OF
100000 IN bonds for the purpose OF
erecting a high school in this city The
committee held a meeting last night
20 go over the situation and was
unanimous In its decision TO make the
recommendation that the high school
be built.
According to the enactment Of the
last legislature the limit of bonded
Indebtedness for school purposes was
increased from per cent TO 3
Ter cent Of the total assessed valua-
ton. which is now about $4,000. 900
in salt Lake city. The bonded indebt-
odncss for school purposes is now
about Ter cent of the amount
authorized, and the extra per cent
under the amended law will permit
the further bonding of the city for
half a million more.
That tho necessity exists for another
high school building is apparent TO
those who have looked into the mat
ter. and the obard has had the propo-
sition under consideration for fully
two years From developments VI TO
date It looks like the question Of
bonding the city for the new building
will be submitted 20 the voters of the
city before the close Of the present
year.
Several sites for the new building
are under consideration. among them
being the ground upon which the old
Twelfth ward schoolhouse stands, on
the east side near the congregational
church. This lot has frontage Of
10 rods and a depth OF 90 rods. giving
ample room for a building but the
objection TO this site is raised that
there Is no room for a campus. con-
sidered a necessary requisite for
first class high school. Al one time,
during the life and activity in the
school board of the late lamented }.
Oberndorfcr. the board had an option
on the 1O-acre tract upon which the
street car company now has its car
barns located. and which could have
been secured at that time for $780,
600. but the option was allowed 10 run
out on account Of the lack Of funds
and this ideal site was lost.
The regular meeting Of the board Of
education will be held this evening,
when the recommendation Of the
buildings and grounds committee Will
be submitted.
