o'clock and the entire morning was
spent looking over the various mater
ials which are to be used in the con-
struction of the new school building.
It was finally decided terra Gotta
would be used. The base of the
building will be of very dark ma
terial and above that the color Of the
brick will be red, while the trim
ming will be composed Of light
colcred stone The board decided to
use metal window frames and sashes
instead of the wooden ones, as the
material is as cheap and much more
durable. 1. Is the plan Of the con-
tractors to have the material here at
once and the actual construction will
probably begin in ten days.
