Inspector Geering. employed by Super

Misch. Mr.. Burton and his committee
will make another trip to the site,
Monday morning, weather permitting,
and will then make a more thorough
inspection. In the meantime, Misch's
men will Gig the earth away from

so the committee may see in just what
conditions the footings are in.
Credit for the discovery of these
conditions belongs TO Harry Hollands,

the Board OF Education, Thursday
