OPPOSING
PLAN FOR
BUILDING
Speakers Before Fourth
Ward Club See Need for
Changed Proposition.

At the meeting of the Fourth Ward
Community club. held in the assembly
room of the high school building last
evening, the proposition to build new
high school and Third ward school
buildings was discussed. The meeting
was attended by over 300 people from
all parts Of the city. and the discus
sion indicated determination to cou-
pie the two projects together.
A. M. Hopeman, speaking for the
board Of education. said the board had
practically concluded to submit the
high school proposition alone. A. M.
Dammen, G. L. Walker, ]. Turner and
Mrs H. Freeman spoke in favor Of
new high school building and urged
the necessity of action this year.
Miss Lucy Sheffield said the Third
| ward needed a new building and told
Of the condition Of the present struc-
ture. She favored the building Of both
high school and Third ward build
ings.
w. R. Briggs favored two build
ings bit thought the effort should be
confined to a high school If the at
tempt to secure new building for the
Third ward would result in the defeat
Of the project.
Mrs. o: L. sondrall, Leonard East,
lund and Elof Fridlund all favored
two buildings and intimated that
there would be strong opposition UNI
less the Third ward project is included.
Supt. H. r. Edwards said everyone
recognizes the necessity for a new
building for the Third ward, but he
thought it would be unwise to couple
the two propositions together as it
might endanger the passage Of both.
In answer to a question by Elof
Fridlund for a reason why the dual
project would be defeated, c. G. Dos
land said that the people of the city
school building and so far the propo-
sition has been defeated every time it
has been brought up. If the people
turn down the proposition for a single
building 1t Is pretty certain that they
would not vote to build two. He said
he realized the necessity for a new
Third ward building and would prob
ably vote for it. He doubted. however,
the ability to carry the proposition If
the second building Is askSd at the
same time.
DR.. ". E. Verne, president of the
club, was authorized to appoint a
committee to investigate the real SEN
timent of the residents Of the Fourth
ward
Rev. Martin Anderson suggested
that the site for the proposed high
school building be put in shape for
an athletic field. He thought it should
be used for baseball, football, tennis
and other athletic sports. The sugges-
ton will be submitted to the board OF
education.
The meeting began with a short
musical program by pupils Of the
school and after the business had been
disposed Of a committee Of the ladies
of the club served refreshments,
