S976,OOO FOR
EIGHT SCHOOLS
Estimate Board Approves of
Proposed Bond Issue for
Ground and Buildings.

For the erection OF additions to
eight school buildings and the pur-
chase of the necessary ground, the
Board Of Estimate today approved
of the contemplated expenditure of
| $976,000 by the Board of Education.
A resolution to this effect will be pre-
scented to the Common Council and
bonds issued for the amount in ques-
| ton.
Owing to the present condition of
the bond market it was suggested
that the total amount be accepted in
three payments. 100000 at once, a
similar amount in October and the
remainder in December. By this
means 1t is hoped to float the bonds
without difficulty.
OF the total amount of the building
| budget as approved, $S2s,000 will go
| towardE the buildings, while the re-
mainder. S15O.0O0, will be for the pur
chases of lands.
! Only one entire new school building
| Is contemplated. This is a twelve
room structure with gymnasium and
auditorium in the Seventh Avenue
| School district, the exact site for
which has not yet been selected. For
the building 100000 was allowed,
while it was figured that the ground
would cost about $4,000 more.
The growing southern section of the
| city will, within few years, also
| have a school building. 1t was de-
cided today to purchase a plot at
Lyons avenue. Hedden terrace and
Weequahic avenue, for $4,000. This
will be held until such time as a
school building is thought to be need
ed in that section.
| 1t was decided also to purchase the
| German American school building at
Goes place for $4,000. This structure
will be devoted exclusively to classes
! for defective children.
