! lures to Be SuppIanted.

! A program which calls for an out
lay of more than $1,000. 900 for school
accommodations during the coming
year was outlined at the meeting of
the building committee of the Board
of Education last night. The budget
as offered calls for the expenditure
of $4,000 for construction. This,
however, does not include ground and
buildings to supplant two present
structures. The budget has yet to be
sanctioned by the full Board of Edu-
cation and the Board of School Esti-
mate.
The budget as prepared thus far
provides for an addition TO the East
Side High School, to cost approx
mately $4,000; a new school for
Speedway avenue, $4,000; an addition
to the Ann Street School, $111,00O;
an addition to the South Tenth Street
School $156,000; the beginning of
new school to replace the Eighteenth
Avenue School, $126000; an addition
to the Madison School, $4,000; the
purchase of the present school for
detectives in the old Alyea Street
German English School building, $1S,-
900; part payment on a new school to
take the place of the South Market
Street School, $4,000, and for the pur-
chase Of property adjoining the Ann
Street and South Tenth Street Schools
for the additions, $1,000 and 100000 re-
spectively, bringing the total of the
tentative budget to date up 10
s743, 600.
This does not include a proposed
addition or extra building for the
Fifteenth Avenue School nor the sug-
gested addition or second building
that is also proposed for the Charlton
Street School, and many other items
of lesser Importance.
Tomorrow afternoon at 1880 o'clock
members of the board will leave the
City Hall to visit sites suggested for
the proposed new schools and the nu-
merous additions. 1t Is expected that
the building budget will be completed
at a meeting of the board to be held
two weeks hence.

The tentative budget provides for
a new school for Speedway avenue,
to be lerected near Dassing street.
Ii will contain eight rooms and will
3cost approximately $4S,000.
The proposed 1000 addition to
the Ann Street School, made neces-
sary BY overcrowded conditions, VIII
contain sixteen class rooms, in addi-
ton to combination gymnasium
and auditorium. There was some
little discussion during the meeting
on the subject of the latter item.
The extra ground for the addition
will probably cost $4,000.
The addition to the South Tenth
Street School will provide twenty-one
class rooms, also a gymnasium and
auditorium separate. The addition
will extend 1876 feet from the pres.
ent school building, approaching near
Gold street, and fronting on both
} Blum and Holland streets. The board
last night ordered that an appraisal
be made of the property necessary
for the site for the addition. The
property alone is expected to mean
the expenditure of $4,000.
The contemplated $126,O00 improve
menti ito the Eighteenth Avenue School
will be unique, inasmuch as 1t will
mean the beginning of an entirely
new school of forty -eight rooms,
which ultimately will do away with
the present old school building. The
proposed addition will contain twenty
one rooms. The gymnasium and audi
storium will not be added until later.

was mentioned Assistant City Super
intendent of Schools David B. Corson
