COTTAGE TO COST 100000

A new 100000 summer cottage is
in process of construction at Newport,
and even at this rendezvous of wealth
and fashion a cottage whose cost
rounds the million, not once, but thrice,
is an event of some magnitude.
A single million for summer home
is mere bagatelle at 1.-The social CAPT.
tai of the United States" But when a
mansion which cost half million is
torn down and the materials used for
building stone in the rearing of new
house upon the same site, Newport be-
comes Interested. Even the sewering
of the new palace costs $4,000. The
lodge represents an outlay of three
times that amount. Even in Newport,
where people are accustomed to mar
BILE chateaux and ornate villas, the out
lay excites more than merely languid
attention and passing curiosity
Every morning for a year 500 work
men have been plodding out to their
toll upon the new structure and back
to their diminutive huts which they
call homes they have been making their
way every evening. They expect to
make the trip every day for two years
before their task is completed.-Bos-

AID HIGH SCHOOL BONDS
Pasadena Again to Vote on the
Polytechnic Question

be given all the information, facts and
figures which the school board has at
its command in the present campaign

a new polytechnic high school for Pas
adena That is the conclusion reached
at a meeting of the board last evening
at which representatives of the civic
associations and several newspapers
were present by invitation and offered
advice. The defeat of a similar bond
election last April through what may
be attributed to unintentional lack of
publicity as to plans and estimates led
the board and its advisers to decide
on a plan of giving the greatest pub
licity possible to the fact that no money
is available with which to pay for ar
chitects or designers for detail work
The board invites any citizen who is
interested to call at its headquarters
in the Chamber of Commerce building
with the assurance that all informa-
ton which the board has will be freely
given. Authorized statements will be
made through the newspapers and 1t is
planned to have the civic bodies ar
range for mass meetings at which the
members of the board of education will
be present to answer questions.
