SCHOOL BOARD
NEEDS MORE pep
MAYOR THOMPSON.
Gets Money for New Buildings Then
Wastes Times in Erecting Them,
Executive Says.
MAYOR THOMPSON.

A little more "pep," Is what De-
troit's school board needs, In the opin.
ion of Mayor Thompson.
"The trouble with the school board
Is that II does not work fast enough"
said his honor to The Times. They
were allowed nearly $500.000 for new
schools a year ago and they have
spent only 100000 OF II. They have
bought one site and haven't a single
new school to show for It. The city
pays interest on the bonds at 31-2
per cent and the board deposits the
draws 2 per cent Yet, the board
wants the legislature to pass special
act giving II authority to raise 81 ,500,-
900 for new schools, thus giving out
the impression that Detroit is too poor
to provide school facilities for its
children.
II want the city to have all the
schools 1t needs, but II the school
board would ginger up little that
would help whole lot. One reason
/ wanted Hugh Chalmers on the board
as member from the Seventeenth
ward was that I thought he could
show them how to build school houses
like he builds automobile factories.
do not see any good reason why there
should be SO much delay In building
schools. When business man wants
to put UP new store he has his plans
prepared and buys his site and then
has to scrape up the money as best
he can. The board has the money
handed to II to begin with, and yet
the work drags. Look at the Pont-
chartrain hotel or the Ford building.
See how quickly those buildings went
up. Why can't we get the same action
In connection with the building Of our
schools?
"One cause OF the delay is that the
board spends too much time wran-
Cling over sites. The Ferndale-ave.
site is an example. The inspectors
were fussing over that for months, I
suggested to the Detroit real estate
board that they buy the sites for the
board OF education and charge no
commission, and believe that would
expediate matters considerably. think
the real estate board should do that
as a matter of fact civic pride"
The Central High School Alumni
association Is making an active cam
paign TO get the city.to purchase the
Ferry estate at Grand River and the
Boulevard for school purposes. Let
tors have been sent out to all alumni
urging them 10 use their influence
with the aldermen and estimators. A
portion of the land is to be used as
an athletic field for high school teams.
