CITY SCHOOL BOARD
Project for Financing New High
School to be Formulated
Tonight.

The regular monthly meeting of the
City School Board will be held in the
Lee School building tonight, at which
time, it is expected, ways and means
of finacing the new high school build
ing to be erected at the northwest
corner of Cameron and West streets
will be arranged. A special committee
of the School Board and the finance
Committee of the City Council recent
" held a joint meeting, when various
mans for raising the necessary
amount for the proposed building
were discussed.
It was finally agreed that the mat
ter should be left to the School Board
and that another joint meeting would
be held as soon as the board had map
ped out plan upon which to proceed.
When this shall have been done, the
project will be submitted to the City
Council for final action.
As has been stated, the School
Board finds hampered conditions eX-
listing in the system from the fact that
there is not sufficient room at present
for the demands made by pupils and
that with the proposed new building
the congestion can be relieved by an
extent to accommodate, for time, at
least, the constantly growing demands
, upon the public schools.
Sanitary reasons are also alleged as
reason why the city should act
as soon as possible in this important
matter

"a NATIONAL. CONTRIBUTION"

still more than for the writer's and

The celebration opened with concerts by
shermans Military band In City Hall
Park and the Eagles band In Battery
Park The disagreeable weather kept the
attendance at both concerts down and
few beside those who were to take part
in the parade were about. The concerts
continued until about $50 and at times
slight rain harassed the listeners.
Shortly after $3.50 the Central Labor
union. escorted by Shermans band
marched TO Battery Park. where the pro-
