There has been "a big demand for
lhe purchase OF The bonds" said r.
D. Davidson, secretary Of the board,
last night, and / anticipate that wa
VIII dispose of the entire issue through
The local banks within ten days. There
h no doubt that the bonds Will sell
above par, for we have already been
offered premium on them As soon
as the bonds are sold we will call for
plans, select the best ones. and pro-
coed at once with the purchase OF
sites anu the erection Of new buildings.
None Of the buildings VIII be ready for

The plan OF II. o. Mcclure, a board
momber 10 erect continual chain OF
wei lighted twO-room. one story build
lngs around the edge OF block OF
ground, Instead Of one large build
ing may be adopted by the board. The
pan Is unique and entirely original.
Al present the board is divided on tho
question
one building viii be erected To re-
llrle the present Central wrad school.
which Is also being used as a high
school The new structure viii be lo-
Gated somewhere between Fifth and
Tenth streets and east Of Main. The
ground and building together will cost
$4,000 and the structure will be tho
finest In the city. Part Of the high
school building viii be used for ward
pupils, but the high school viii be
given more than twice the space It
now occupies
Another building will be erected
somewhere in owen addition 10 relieve
the owen ward school. The structure
and site viii cost In the neghborhood
of 10000
The board VIII probably dispose of
n tract of ground In Kendall add-
tion that IT now owns and purchase a
new site for the building TO be erect
ed there. Kendall IL without a build
ing at present. The new building and
additional Fairgrounds for II will cost
approximately $4,000.
Additional Fairgrounds VIII be pur-
chased for the North Side and Lynch
Forsythe schools, and possibly for tho
Lindsey and owen schools The re-
mainder Of the money viii be used in
the purchase of a manual training de-
partment for the high school and the
equipment for the new buildings.
As soon as the plans are accepted
the contract viii be let and work Will
be rushed on the structures. II is
probably that the plans OF some Of tho
present buildings viii be followed in
erecting the new school houses.
