Schuetze said that the Finance com
mittee was not ready to report on the
project of the Board of Education to
condemn the block bounded by Wash
ington, 18th, Marshall and 18th streets
for high school site. He added that
the property owners do not want to
vacate and will fight. At recess the
committee and mayor conferred with
the Board of Education and the matter
did not come up again. II is genera =
ly believed that the site selected will
be deemed by the public to be too eX-
pensive for a scnool site. The school
officers want it centrally located be-
cause high school buildings now erect
Jed, they say, are planned to serve also
as social centers."

hey had secured some informal Q. X.
of one or more OF the board OF public
works. The attorney stated that he
was informed that the combination Of
roo sheeting and a sprinkler system
made it a better fire risk than the re-
luired brick without sprinklsrs would

The demand for sewer out on 26th

The river and harbor committee

spting a strip of 20 feet of river front
ong the east bank between Chicago
