In speaking of the proposed purchase of this
property by the city to be used for school
purposes a citizen suggested that the
barn might be sold and moved off; but
that would seem to be unwise. as it
might be utilized for a gymnasium, for
a manual training department, or other useful
purposes. This purchase is in every way de
sirable. The location is fine one, and the
building is substantial and affords ample room
for the schools.
