BIG INDUSTRY
FOR The SITE
Effort Made to Settle Spa
Spring Property.

Representing parties who, he
states. are planning to erect plant
to employ between 1900 and 1900
men, Joseph e. Stricken appeared be-
fore the Board of Aldermen in COM
mittee session last night and endea-
vored to secure an adjustment Of the
city's claim against the old Staten
Island Terra Gotta and Lumber Com
pany property amounting to between
$4,000 and $4,000 The Powers
Realty and Construction Company
is now said to control the property.
Mr.. Stricken offered a certified
check for $1,000 In settlement of the
city's claim, which is for unpaN
taxes covering term Of years. At
one time the property was paying
business, employing many men. 1t
burned out and was abandoned sew
eral years ago and has since been,
although several attempts have been
made to establish an industry there.
Last week 1t was sold under foreclos-
ure proceedings, being purchased by
Robert McCarter, representing the
bond holders of the property, Tor
100000.
Although the Board of Aldermen
have the power to make adjustment
in tax matters. they took no action
on the proposition before them last
night. Mr.. Stricken argued that the
plant has been idle for several years,
and that allowances should be made
for the fact that huge industry was
about to locate on the site which
would be OF incalcuable benefit to
the community.

TUBERCULOSIS
CAMP FOR CITY
Aldermen Decide to Fix Up
Isolation Hospital.

City Physician M. S. Meinzer
appeared before the Board of Alder
men last night in their committee
session and called attention to the
several INDECENT tuberculosis pa
tients which the city has to take
care of partially or wholly. Follow
ing out his suggestion that some
steps be taken to take care of this
class, the aldermen decided to make
tuberculosis camp out of the isola-
ton hospital. The building, which
Is Of good size, will be moved to
high ground. 1t will be re-weather
boarded and have a large porch con-
structed on its south side.
Should the patients, which it is
planned to place there, be many in
number, it will. probably be neces-
sary to detail an attendant. The
building is located on the large site
occupied by the poor farm.
A new team of horses will be pur-
chased for the Garfield Engine &
Hose Company. Bids will be Sc
cured on the proposition of placing
rubber tires on the following pieces
Of apparatus in the fire department: !:
Mcclellan engine, Washington hose
wagon, Eagle hose wagon and Lin
coin hose wagon.
For use in sprinkling streets to
lay the dust the board has ordered
a tank car of road oil. 1t is thin
and odorless according to the manu-
facturers and can be used In the
regular street sprinklers.

Hartford & New York Transporta-
tion Company, which was anchored
near by. Graves secured a small
boat and fastened rope to the arm
of the body, landed it at the foot of

ADDITION WILL
COST $4,000
Special Meeting Of the
Beard Of Education Was
Held Last Night.
FOR SEVEN MORE ROOMS
Planned to Have Work Gem
pisted for Opening of
School in Fall.
FOR SEVEN MORE ROOMS

Acting upon what appears to be
the solution Of the problem as to
how the increase In enrolment in
the high school Is to be taken care
of next year, the Board of Education
in special session last night, adopted
q resolution asking for $4,000, to
enlarge, remodel and furnish the
high school building SO as to provide
for seven more class rooms. This
will be acted upon tonight by the
Board of School Estimate and, with
their approval. will go before the
Board of Aldermen Monday night for
further favorable consideration, in
all probability.
Take Care of Growth.
1t Is said that with the. present
plans for enlarging the high school
facilities, If carried out, the growth
of the enrolment in that school will
be taken care Of for several years to
come. G. r. Fletcher, chairman of
the building committee, gave the
board a concise idea as to Just what
the proposed addition to the high
school included. A two story build
ing, seventy-six by thirty-two feet, is
planned to the south of the present
structure. 1t will be connected to
the main high school building by a
narrow, two story connection. On
each floor of this connection will be
room on either side of the passage
way. On each floor, one Of these
rooms will be used as store room,
and the other as retiring room, the
girls on one floor and the boys on the
other.
The laboratory will probably be
placed on the upper floor of the addi-
ton, In room seventy-four by thir-
ty feet, as compared with it's present
quarters of twenty-five by thirty feet
on the main floor of the high school
building. The old laboratory quar-
ters will be made into another class
room. The assembly auditorium Is
to be cut up into six class rooms. The
first floor of the addition Is to be
used as an assembly room for the
time being, but Will probably be cut
up into class rooms in few years,
when the assembly of the high school
will have to be abandoned.
Conform With Present Building.
The proposed changes and addi-
tions will conform, architecturally,
with the present building. Future
growth of the high school enrolment
can possibly be taken care of by SIM
liar extensions to the north, when
taking up the site of the fire house If
necessary.
Architect ]. K. Jensen has been Sc
lected to prepare plans for the i'm
provement. 1t is probable that addi-
tional steam heating equipment will
have to be secured to heat the addi-
ton. For year or SO the additional
high school facilities will enable that
structure to take care of one or two
overflow classes from the grammar
school With the addition of more
class rooms it is probable that more
teachers will have to be engaged be-
fore another year. 1t is planned to
have the addition ready for the open
ing OF the fall term.
