INTERVIEWS

tt~HE question Of high
school site is a serious
Il one with the board Of edu-
cation said H. r. McClintock- THE
board does not want to have the new
school erected on the present location
in the Alexander addition unless the
streets can be properly graded anu
sidewalks laid. It would be a serious
mistake to build a $500. 900 building
/ which would not be accessible 70 the
students and which " uld be hluusH
from view behind the hills But, II the
grading can be done at little expense,
the site would prove good one me
[ Golden Hill site is an ideal one Tor
I high school. The building would SCI
on high knoll overlooking the CITY
and valley. A stadium could be oullt
there just as well as in the Alexander
addition and IL would not cost mucn
| to do the grading. The matter now
ever, will probably be settled WllhlI
the next few davs when the shcooi
