SPRINGS SURPRISE IN PROTEST

Commissioners Reply to Letter Re-
questing the Reason for This
Change Of Mind.

The protest Of the board Of education
against the use of crushed stone on the
Fairgrounds Of school yards was received
by the Commissioners with much surprise.
Frequent requests have previously been
received from the board Of education to
have this material placed on the play

September Is. referring to the Langtion
School," is the occasion for SURPRISE as
stated in the reply of the Commissioners
to be sent to the board.

convey to you its protest against the
further use of crushed rock as a covering
for Fairgrounds of public schools" Sec
rotary Harry o. Hine wrote the Commits
the use of crushed rock covering on the
grounds Of the H. D. Cooke and the Lu-
cretia A. Mott schools and the general
undesirability of this material. its re-
moval from these two school grounds is
requested"
Express Their Surprise.
After expressing their surprise at the
request. Engineer Commissioner Judson
recommends that the board be informed
of the reason of this change in opinion.
considerable thought has been given
to the question Of covering the school
Fairgrounds. and nothing has yet been
found that can be at all economically
used that will be better than the screen
ings from crushed stone.
1T is realized that the stone in the
yards of the Cooke School is a little
larger than should be used and the same
is true to some extent at the Mott School,
but 1t is believed that instead of remov-
ing this stone. which will leave the yards

layer of fine screenings. which, it is be-
lieved. will remove the objections to the
