viii proba bly, cost 100000. The cost
of the Girls high school. as figured
will be about S450,000 and the Lowell
viii probably be on an equally fine
scale. These three schools viii repre-
sent nearly $1,000. 0o0 alone. The Others
viii range somewhere near 100000
each on the average
The neighborhOods that will have the
new schools are greatly interested in
the reports that the city officials feel
called upon to make regarding the
progress Of construction. the school
building being considered an element
IN local realty values because good
school facilities draw people. while the
lack Of such facilities repels.
In addition TO the schoolhouses that
were provided for entirely under the
bond issues. so il has been reported 10
the grand jury. the Garfield school has
been constructed from funds remaining
from the bonds Of 1904 and with $50
coo from the bond issue of 1908.
Plans have been completed and. con-
tracts let for the construction Of the
following schoolhouses: Mission, Den
man. Hancock. Jean Parker. SutHo,
Madison. Sheridan. South End Newton
J. Tharp. Commercial, Bryant. Clemen5
Garfield. Holly Park. Lakeview, McCop-
pin. Mckinley and West End.
These are in stages Of construction
varying with the dates upon which the
building contracts were severally
awarded.
How the city has favored the various
neighborhoods in school construction
and how il proposes to favor others in
the plans already under consideration
may be shown by the list Of schools
for which appropriations have been
made from bond issues or provided for
otherwise. since the fire of 1906.
