Iastic population of the city increases
q rapidly next year as il did last, ad-
ditional room will be absolutely neces-
sary. Calculations have been made by
the school authorities that. nOtwith-
standing the 100000 raised by the 1915
bond issue and already appropriated,
there will be need of perhaps 100000
