The building is to be erected on the city s Main street property and will contain besides the alarm station fire apard- tus. and the city jail. The building Is to be Of concrete. This decision was arrived at at last nights special meet ing of the city council. following the regular meeting.
 The school house problem was one horn of a very serious dilemma that confronted the city fathers. The prob lem was to build a central fire station and the city jail combined and erect temporary school quarters with the same sum of money. At the joint meet ing of the school board and a commit tee of the council it was decided that it was too late in the season to erect the concrete structure this season. The question Of providing immediate quar- ters must be settled. It was proposed by members of the city council that the city build a central fire station and jail combined on the city'S Main street lot and erect a school chamber on the second floor This met with strenu- ous opposition from the school board. It was pointed out that separating the school attendance in this way would cause the expense of employing addi- tiOnal teachers and this cost would go far toward putting up the temporary structure at this time. It was also pointed out that there would be ser iOus objections from many quarters

over the sending of children to a school that was conducted over jail. It was finally proposed by the school board that the council give them another weeks time in which to go out and raise the funds independently to erect the proposed temporary building and release the city from the obligation in this respect. This was agreed to. MT. Bchrends, who addressed the meeting was strongly in favor of this plan. He said that Juneau could not afford to ne- glect the schools. It was his idea that before winter was over Congress would authorize the proposed plan of issuing bonds and Juneau could then go ahead and build the right kind of a building by starting early in the Spring.
 By the proposed plan the city will have the resources that have gone in to the new school property and this money will be utilized in erecting the new fire hall and jail This building will be erected on the city's Main street property and will be the cen tral station for the Gamewell fire alarm system and for housing apparatus and will also contain the city jail. The sand and gravel recovered through the eX- cayaJing for the new school will now be used in the erection of this build ing.
 City Engineer Blakeslee was or dered to tear down the old jail immed- lately and eXcayate for the proposed new structure. This was upon motion of Marshall seconded bV Case. PD- on motion of Case seconded by Hrul- butt the committee on fire protection was ordered to immediately purchase a Gamewell automatic fire alarm sys- tenn for Juneau Councilman Pullen was authorized and directed to plat tine city for wiring for the Gamewell system and Councilman Hurlbutt was authorized and instructed to plat the town for installation of the system and call stations.
