THE NEW scHooLHousE PROPOSITION. A
meeting of the Public Building Association
;ncornorated to build schoolhouse for Bel
fast to cost when completed and furnished
not more than $4,000, was held in the munlel-
nal court room last Monday evening and was
largely attended. The plan adopted has been
published in The Journal, and calls for the
issuing of bonds to the amount of $75,0oo, the
citv to nav an annual rental of Sc 900 for the
term of rs years, the building then to become
the property of the city. Legal ADVICE re-
ceiyed by the association is to the effect that
there is no doubt about the plan for building
the schoolhouse being legal and it is thought
there will be no difficulty in placing the bonds,
which bear interest of per cent, and are nom
taxable in Belfast. The question raised at the
meeting Monday night was, in substance: "Can
the city give, in consideration, the school
property to the building company, with moth
ing in return?" The outcome of it was that
the city government, then in session, was
asked to name price on the school common
and buildings and at once appointed commit
tee of appraisal, who are expected to report
today. The contract with the city will then
be re written and the bonds placed on sale.
