The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1910-03-15

 1 man Street.
 ] All was serene last evening at the 1 monthly meeting of the Board of
 Education until the election of an
 architect for the new school to be built in North Main street was reach l ed. The board has, as it's property, plans, which have been used at both l the Black Rock and Newfield school | buildings and which are to be used for 1 the North Main street building. These ! plans were the work of Architect C.. 1 T. Beards1ey. When the votes were
 counted it was found that Leonard Asheim had seven ballots, MT. Beard | sley 2, and MT. Northrop, 1.
 1 Why, who is this MT. Asheim ?'' | asked MT. Wooster. never heard
 'tThe man is an entire stranger to | me-" quoth MT. Macdonald.
 | Why he is g. son-in-law of Sig. Loewith, chined in one of the seven who had voted for the new man. II decline absolutely to serve on | the committee,''' said MT. Wooster. | who is one of the three members of l the committee on the school.
 Both MT. Wooster and MT. Mac | Donald evidently thought a game had been put up on them. @..I can't" said 1 MT. Macdonald, understand that MT. | Beardsley's plans are adopted and an- | other architect selected Nto carry
  l all over again.
 MT. woozter's resignation from the
 committee was not acted upon. When it came to ba1loting for the architect for the new school to be built on Silliman street, MT. Wooster. and MT, Mao[te Maeponald Id reagsed s.G5. to vote. MT MT, job, let them carry it out.''
 The balIoting resulted in three votes each for MT. BeardsleyE and Northrop. On the second ballot MT. Beards1ey had five to MT. O'Brien's 1 three, and President Marigold de jority of the votes cast.
 Previous to this little excitement l the board listened to the two com
 mittees which had been out on the North Main and Still street projects. Chairman Brady of the North Main street committee stated that the com mittee had received a number of propositions, hnd that they consider ed the proposition of Julius Tesiny the best. MT Tesiny offered to sell
 the board a strip of land on Tesiny avenue, about 800 feet from North Main street, and about 500 feet in an easterly line from the present school. The site is on the side of a hill, has 1 a frontage of 200 feet and an average depth of A187 feet. This Mr. Tesiny | offered to the city for s2,8OO which ing City Attorney .Cul1inan found the title correct. The board then pro- ceeded on the recommendation of
 
 the building of a school on the site as soon as it is purchased. ss A four rooh room school, A as sin in Blaek t Rock, was of the board. These buildings cost from S2o,o00 to $23,ooo.
 The committee on the new Stillman school ought to be started this spring. Chairman Hallen reported that it was the opinion of the com mittee that 9 four room building be constructed, to which four rooms may be added in the near future, and su bsequent1y four more rooms. This building is to be constructed upon a site bought by the board a few weeks ago. The location is between Hallett and Pembroke streets.
 After the selection of MT. AShein 1 as architect for the North Main street building the question was raised if he could use the plans as drawn by settled by Secretary Hallen, who re- ferred to the minutes of April g, 1906, which stated when the plans for the Black Rock school were to be used in such a manner as the board saw fit.
 Then arose a discussion as to what the fee of the architect should be who used the plans of another. It was finally decided that his fee was not to exceed per cent. of the total cost of the building.
 Superintendent Deane, in his re- port school conditions, stated that if a new high school is to be erected Within the next three or fOur years that the board ought to build else- where, than in the locality of the present school. If new high school l is to be built. the old building can be used for a grade school Unless l the High school is to be built, he would recommend an addition to the l stated that conditions in the Shelton l school and in the West End school were -overcrowded and that some 1 thing ought to be done at once to | 4oOnQRGfiOTE aOJIId m 1 say which was the most urgent, they l both needed attention. In the West
 End there are two hire! rooms in use, along with a portable building. | while at Shelton school two porta ble l buildings are utilized On the, Shell ton school he would recommend that i four rooms be added. pr. Deane, in l speaking on the High street building, l said that, though it had been sug-
 gested that the building be abandon l ton, yet, with an outlay of about i S1,000, it would serve better than
 portable buildings. even though it T.oard did not take any action on the l superintendent's recommendations
