ls4ln speaking Of the plan to rent
Iontside rooms instead OF purchas-
ing portable schools. Superintend-
ent Hoffman stated:
II personally believe that despite
the cost Of portable schools. their
euse would be more economical than
paying rental for outside rooms.
The portable schools could be used
fol- years and are undoubtedly
worth their price. However. the
board had nor the money at pres
ent to purchase the schools, thus
xle4ting Of outside rooms seems to
be the only solution to the problem.
We are not in very hopeful frame

enrolment in the schools rs due to
