BOARD
IN QUANDARY OVER
HIGH SCHOOL SITE
To Build or Not to Build Voted
Pro and Con ia Gusty
Session.
FINALLY DECIDED THAT
SITE WILL BE BOUGHT
Majority Recommendation, Not
Concurred in, Favors Gin.
ton Avenue Location.

To build a high school or not 20 build
a high school was the question which
sorely perplexed the nine soions OF the
1rvington Board OF Education in SEES
sion last night. The majority recon-
mendation OF the new building commit-
tee was not concurred in; the minority
report of that committee was voted
down; a motion ~embodylng the ma
jority recommendation was made for
the purpose of voting down the prep
osition. and down it went.
Arguments pro and con were as gusty
as March winds and as plentiful as
March lust clouds, and at the conclu-
sion of n hour and a half OF forensic
discord and argumentative fervor, as
Ii TO be in harmony with the spirit OF
the day, a motion was carried to the
effect that it be the sense OF the board
that a site be purchased for the cree
ton OF d high school.
Commissioner Frank Harbridge. of
the new building committee, presented
the majority recommendation favoring
the proposed site. covering la feet in
Clinton avenue, west, and 200 feet in
Stuyvesant avenue, at a cost not to
exceed $4,000. Commissioner William
Sherman said that, although he would
like to see a high school erected in the
town. he had talked the matter over
with several of the councilmen and
found them opposed to the purchase of
a site and the erection of such a
school. They were in favor of build
ing additions to the branch schools,
believing the citizens to be more In
favor of charging the accommoda-

provide a high school. He also stated
that they had figured the expense of
adding our rooms to each of Schools
Nos. l, 2, 3 and 4 to be much less than
the cost of erecting a high school,
without even considering the cost of
the ground.
Commissioners Albion Christian and
William Decker maintained that par
l~iamentarily there could be nothing be-
fore the board in this matter at the
present time except the motion carried
at the February meeting, which had
laid the recommendation of the new
building committee Upon the table and
which had not as yet been read. After
this motion, which calls for the new
building committee to submit maps and
plans for a high school site had been
read, Commissioner William Decker
submitted the minority report, recon-
mendlng the site. at the corner of Or
ange emu and Clinton avenue, west,
at a cost of $13, 800.
On motion of Commissioner Chris
tian a vote of non-concurrence in both
the majority and minority recon-
mendations was passed.

Commissioner William Sherman was

new PAVEMENT
BEING CONSIDERED
IN WEST HUDSON

A sample of what looks to be one of
the most durable pavements ever made
and about which many. encouraging
things have been said, is on exhibition
in the office of Street Commissioner
Daniel F. Mahar at the Harrison Town
Hall, and may be seen during the office
hours of the commissioner. The pave
ment is composed of blue trap-rock and
Portland cement, and its life" is one
hundred years.
The Hassam. Paving Company, Of
New York, are the owners and patent
ees of the pavement. The piece that is
exhibited at the Town Hall was taken
from Crown street, New Haven, Conn,
after it had beer in use for nearly a
year and a half, where traffic had been
extra heavy, and it looks today almost
as good as When it was laid.
A large number of prominent Harrl-
son people, as well as outsiders, have
looked at the sample and seemed to be
highly pleased with 1t. The owners of
the pavement have offered to take q
committee composed of members of the
Harrison Common Council to Boston 10
examine streets that nave been paved
with the Hassam pavement, and have
been in use for five and ten years.
n of the ,~principal arguments in
favor of the new pavement is that the
price is very reasonable. s1.S5 per yard,
white bitulithic costs $2.25 per yard.
The pavement is said to be one of the
best made for automobile use, and win
Withstand any amount of traffic.
