also came UP for discussion, with the
result that those present declared IN
favor OF holding up the entire project
while they will endeavor to sound the
sentiments of other improvement asso-

to 1t.
| The State Board of Education and
the State commissioner of education
will be appealed to by the association

about the construction of the proposed

termined upon, after it was announced
that the new Central High School will
be formally opened February !. Al
though the local Board of Education

Perhaps no department in the city

department" said Frank e. Daven-

cleaning the streets of this city cost
more than in any other city in the
country.
It was suggested by Mr. MeCurdy
that the board should handle the funds
appropriated for street cleaning more
economically, which would result he
said, in this work being done twelve
months in the year instead of eleven.
Everybody who knows anything
about the city knows where the
trouble is in this department" said DR..
William Buermann. "They know that
too many old men are trying to do
this work. 1t would be better if those
old men were placed in homes for the
aged and younger men engaged who
can do the work"
A suggestion. was made by DR.. krae-
mer that in connection with the recla-

constructed connecting with the docks,
