is calculated that the Pemberton build ing and the Hageman building will i furnish capacity to equal these seven rooms and the growth during the present year. And that the building to be erected on a site shortly to be chosen for the colored school will still further relieve the congestion.
 But all of this is only shifting about toward the final settling of con ditions. .The school population is grow ing so fast that the above will be merely keeping up with it and making no provision for the future. It is plan ned therefore. in another year or so. to sell the present Central school prop erty and construct new building on the Hageman property, equally as big and complete as the one proposed on the Pemberton property. to be used for grammar school in the East End. By that time also. the town will have grown north at rapid rate and also south, so the board felt that it should acquire a property in the north and another in the south to be utilized for school purposes later. before there is further enhancement of values and
 
 To that end it recommended the pur- chase of the property contained in propositions Nos. and 4 Respecting the latter. the town is growing north very rapidly now and it will eventually be thickly settled toward the Indian school Respecting No. proposition. the board favored it for one reason be- cause it is a full block and the best located of an offered in that part of the city. It believes the wise policy will be to eventually sell the present West End school building and with the proceeds erect a large structure on block IS. Montgomery addition. to ac- commodate the ward pupils attending the West End, and such increase as follows in the school population of the southwest part of the city. The West End building is not well located for the reason of the close proximity of many railroad tracks and the property has also greatly increased in value for other purposes. It is said that the city is itself looking upon it with yearning eyes as the city block ad- joining has already been outgrown for municipal purposes.
 That is the outline of the general plan. The present action is for a build ing on the Pemberton property, the remodeling of the Hageman house, and the purchase of the other two sites for later usefulness. The board also in dicated that it banned to call another meeting at an early day for the eX- pression of the voters on the selection of a desirable site for the colored school which building they propose to make amply large. and as well equip ped as any of the school buildings and provided with equally as good teach CTS.
 In connection with the general plan it is apropos to mention that the pro- jected Montgomery school will balance the Linville school in the southeast part of town, the Pemberton school will with the University school take care of the growth in the west and the Churchill school will be relieved by the projected school in East Evergreen and perhaps by the time these changes have been made there will be need of another school in the northwest part of town. The East End ward school will take care of itself with the relief that will come from the new East End grammar school and the Hageman building may eventually be used for manual training. or domestic science or some other departmental need.
 After the remarks by Dr. Dameron District Attorney Bullard read the qualifications of voters and Messrs. J. F. Cleaveland and D. H. Burtis were appointed tellers while Chairman Cog gins served as inspector of the election which had to be by written ballot, poll lists being kept, that everything might be duly formal.
 The proposition being placed before the house Eugene Brady O'Neill spoke upon it rendering the board of trustees high compliment for their work and fully endorsing their plans, urging their adoption by the meeting There were one or two speeches in opposition to proposition No. ?, merely on account of the price which was thought by some to be too high. The board ex- plained the manner in which it had been scaled considerably already from what was originally asked and stated that it had been recommended because it was the best property available for it's purposes. and it believed 1t the part of wisdom to get the most desir- able location. even if the price was little high.
