,HARP ARGUMENT
OVER SCHOOL SITE
Haight and Ashbury and North
Beach Improvement Clubs
Clash Over Lowell High

Improvement associations represent
ing the North Beach and Haight and
Ashbury districts argued for three
hours before the board of education
yesterday afternoon on the selection of
a site for the new Lowell high school.
The Haight and Ashbury Improvement
club advocated the site bounded by
bury and Grove streets, basing their
case on the fact that the board of
supervisors bought that block spe-
cifically for that school, and the fact
that the location was geographically
about the center of the city. The
site in Washington street between
HYDE and Larkin, claiming that the
Ashbury district had the Polytechnic,
Commercial and MISSION nigh schools,
while it had none.
Both sides advanced considerable ar
gument for and against the Washing
ton street site until President Banner
man called attention to a misapprehen-
sion. He stated that the clubs were
fighting over the Washington street
site when there was little or no chance
of It's being chosen by the board. 1t
was merely recommended by Superin-
tendent Roncovieri and had mot come
UP for formal action.
The North Beach aggregation, at the
suggestion of Senator +. /. Wolfe,
made their entire argument first as
the affirmative. the other clubs follow
ing for the negative.
Andrea Sbarboro, Theodore Bacaga-
lupi, P. A. Bergerot and others spoke
for North beach, pleading the cause of
the workingmen of the city and asking
that the Lowell high school be left
them in that there was a. crying de-
mand for it. Petitions were presented
from various bodies of the district, and
finally the case was closed by 1. w.
Parsons.
William Herrin made the first argu-
ment for the Hayes and Masonic avenue
site, quoting from statistics to prove
that the majority of students were
from the district that he represented
and describing the beauties of the To-
cation in comparison with the site sug-
gested.
