More German Soldiers Join Ranks OF Sparatacans
WRONG SEWER FIXED, is CLAIM
Situation at School 9 Not to Be
Improved it is Shown by
School Board

Unsanitary conditions at No. 9
school due to defective construction OF
sewering on Lawrence street, which
was expected to be remedied in the
near future, will not be fixed as soon
as was thought. This fact was re-
vealed last night at the regular meet
ing the Board of Education, when 1t
was learned that the sewer for which
bids had been asked by the city faith
ers and which was to alleviate condi-
tions at the school, was not the
sewer about which so much discus
sion and comment has been raised by
citizens whose children attended the
school.
The sewer which is to be construct
ed is on Grove street and the one
with which the school must be con-
nected is on Lawrence street. one
block north. This error is due to a
misunderstanding between the alder
manic board and the educational
commissioners, because the school
board was given TO understand that
they had nothing more to worry about
since at the last meeting of the city
fathers. bids had been requested for
the reconstruction of the sewer which
also .transpired. at meeting that the
building committee of school board
has an appointment with city engineer
and conditions at the school will be
thoroughly investigated as soon as
possible, so that plans may be formu-
lated for the immediate work that is
necessary to place the school in such
a condition that the health of the
children going there would be safe
guarded.
In this investigation to be conduct
ed jointly by the city engineer and
the building committee of the board
OF education. soundings will be made
and some of the work taken p so that
Ii may be ascertained accurately
whether or not the sewer will have to
be reconstructed or If proper connec-
tions can be effected without tearing
up the sewer system. 1t is understood
that the sewer on Lawrence street is
now two feet higher than the Level
drainage from the school can not in
q proper manner be connected with
the city system.
This defective sewer has been un-
der close scrutiny for several months
by the Western Improvement Associa-
ton, which asserts that they intend
to push the matter until some decisive
action is taken. When 1t was thought
the other day that all questions per-
tanning to the sewer were settled de-
finitely once and for all, the members
of the association expressed theiI
approval and were satisfied that ac-
ton had been started.
When the building committee OF
the school board has found out the
actual conditions now existing at the
school, the matter will be immedi-
ately considered with the aldermen sc
as to have the sewer on Lawrence
street reconstructed to drain No.
school in a suitable manner.

CITY ART MUSEUM
GIVEN GOOD START
UnsightIy Pile of Earth at Green
Street Park Entrance
Shows Progress
WORK LONG DELAYE D

There is an unsightly pile of earth
Mt the Green street entrance to Fair
mount Park Nearby are several steam
shovels and other implements.
They form a picture which is de
cidedly incongrous with the magniti
cent Washington monument nearby and
the natural beauty at the entrance to
the Park-but the general scene marks
the first step toward the erection of
the Municipal Art Museum.
This structure, it is predicted will be
one of the most beautiful in the world.
1t will be of white granite and stand
out like cameo against tn" vCrnal

Work Started Recently
After many years Of discussion nud
some litigation work was started recent .
ly and is going along nj a good pare.
The dirt pile. the shovel and its ao.
cessories are connected with tho first
step in grading and tunneling to start
the basement construction.
The contract for this part Of the
work was awarded some months ago by
the Fairmount Park Commission to the
F. W. Mark Construction Company for
1921 $50.
It appears that the Mark concern
was not the lowest bidder aud the
Standard Construction Company an
piled for an injunction to prevent the
commission from letting the cotnract
to the Mark Company. The case was
decided in favor of the Mark concern
and work was started two weeks ago.
The contractors must GO to bedrock
for foundation. then build the basement
walls. necessary tunnels and do the
grading.
Completed In 1924?
The limit for the preliminary work
mentioned is one year. and it is pre-
dicted providing there are no serious
obstacles. the entire structure will be
completed in about four and hall
years. Grandeur of isolation was rm
phasized in the plans, which were drawG

For the first time in their experience
they are to witness at close hand a dis
