SEVERAL SITES

Council, However, Decided to
Defer Action in This Mat.
ter.

At a special meeting of the city
council held last night, Mr.. P. j.
Krouse, of Meridian, was selected as
the architect for the new high school
building which is to be erected here.
Mr.. Krouse submitted no specific
design, but after looking over the
situation and acquainting himse I
with local needs will draw plans
commensurate with the requirements
here. Mr.. Krouse is an architect of
proven ability and is by no means
unknown in Columbus, having
drawn plans for several local build
ings, among them being the Elks'
Home, the Frances Flats, an annex
to the First Methodist Church, and
the home of Mr.. S. B. Harris.
In addition to selecting an archi-
tect, The board also considered the
question of site, bids having been
submitted as follows: Col. Hum
phries, lot corner of College and
Seventh streets, $4,000; Mrs. E. N.
Hutchinson, lot corner of Main and
Tenth streets, $1,000 j. T. Wood,
lot on Military, $4,000; j. G. Ellis,
lot corner Main and 18th streets;
S. d. Lee Home, $4,000; Aldridge

nue., North, $1,000; R. R. Stockard,
lot corner Third street and Third
avenue, South, s10,o00;J. M. Street,
lot corner Of Second avenue and
Sixth street, North, $1,000 E. s.
Moore, lot corner of Third avenue
and Te. III street, North, pries ncA
given; d. M. Richards, lot corner of
Ninth street and Fifth avenue,
south, $4,000. None of these bids
however, have been accepted, action
of this phaseof the matter having
been deferred.
Mr.. |. T. CASTOR was awarded the
sprinkling contract for the ensuing
year at the same rate which he now
receives.
Bonds in the sum of $4,000
which are to be issued for the
erection and equipment of the new
high school building were sold at a
special meeting of the city council
which was held Tuesday afternoon,
having been purchased by the In
terstate Trust and Banking Com
pany of New Orleans. This concern
paid premium of $4,000 for the
bonds, which will bear interest at
the rate of five per cent. The hid
ding for the bonds was quite spir-
tied, no less than 18 offers having
been submitted by brokers and
bankers residing in different cities
throughout the country.
The question of selecting an ar
chitect for the new building was
taken up at the regular monthly
meeting of the council Tuesday
night but no decision in the matter
was reached, the entire session hav-
ing been consumed in listening to
propositions and proposals from the
different gentlemen who sought the
job. There were nine Of these gen.
