that action OF the railroad labor board
on further cuts that the railroads may
ask will receive consideration after

While architects are at work over
plans for the new building to replace
the Hamilton School. for tubercular
children. health department oficials
are securing Washington for a suit
able site for the structure. Funds
for erecting new quarters for the
tubercular children were provided
for in the emergency school building
program approved recently by Con-
gress
To find suita BILE ground on which
to build the new school. 1t was
indicated. is not an easy task. Sites
for school buildings in accessible
ties are determined to have the new
building in a good location. as that
10 one of the faults found with the
present Hamilton school by its
critics.
Anticipate a Protest.
Even If a suitable location for the
institution Is found. school oficials
believe that a protest against IT'S
erection will be raised by residents
in the vicinity of the property
selected. This occurred once before
when a proposal was made that the
tubercular children be quartered on
the site Of the tuberculosis hospital
at 14tn ana CpSnur StTeetS IoHSe-
quently the officials are preparing
this time for any controversy that
may arise.
Selection Of a site for the new Ham
, ilton School has been left entirely to
the health department by the board
Of education. However. the health
authorities have not definitely recon-
mended any ideal location for the
structure.
VIII Re Strictly Modern.
The new Hamilton School, accord
ing to school officials. will be strictly
modern and completely equipped. 1t
will have classrooms Of sufficient size
to accommodate the pupils. with rest
rooms, each with q capacity Of thirty
cots. Some of the new features will
include an Industrial room for manual
activities. q dining room. a kitchen
and pantry with cold storage facil-
tiles. a combined office and physical
examination room. and playrooms
In addition it is planned to install
adequate heating facilities. Pro-
visions will be made for the storage
OF books, blankets. clothing. mate
rails for the industrial room and
other special equipment. 1t also is
proposed to have an uncovered porch
surrounding the building on a level
with the class and rest rooms. so that
cots or reclining chairs may be placed
on them for the use Of the children.
The building probably will be piped
for the vacuum system of cleaning. in
order that minimum amount of dust
may result from the cleaning Of the
rooms.
