TO REPORT ON SELECTION
OF HIGH SCHOOL SITE.

The selection of a site for the pro-
posed South Side High School, which
is in charge of a subcommittee of
the committee on buildings, grounds
and supplies of the Board of Educa-
ton, will be reported on at a special
meeting of the committee to be held
next Tuesday. The plans for the pro-
posed Normal and Training School, at
Belleville and Fourth avenues, will also
be examined.
Numerous sites for the South Side
High School which had been suggested
We're reported inadequate by the COM
mittee, which met last night. The
place which seems to be favored is
the Sanford property, on Clinton ave-
nue.. between South Tenth and
Eleventh streets. but the price asked
is so much more than the appraised
value that condemnation proceedings
will have to be instituted If the board
finally determines to secure 1t. The
South Side High School will cost APP
proximately $3.50, 900.
