The Board of Education is deeply
concerned and sympathetic with these
| demands for suitable and adequate
! school buildings and herewith ap-
proves each of them and desires to
/ be SO recorded. 1t feels that it would
not be true to its responsibilities and
trust if it were otherwise. The Board
accordingly feels that it would not be
! discharglng its full duties if it neg
lected to take advantage Of this oppor-
tunlty to call the attention of the pub
| lie again in his way to these demands
for suitable and adequate school build
| ings.
Therefore, the Board of Education
sets forth below, in the numerical or
der of the election districts in which
the same are located, the names of the
school communities for which suita-
| BILE and adequate school buildings are
urged and needed and in which the
Board of Education concurs:
Swanton; Grantsville Grammar and
High; Jennings; Bloomington; Acct
dent Grammar and High cheating
plant only; Miller; Loeb Lynn
| Heights; Steyer; Deer Park; Kitznil-
Ter Grammar and High; Dodson- Shall
mar.
If additional data are desired upon
any or all of the above needs, size,
approximate cost, ETC., the County
Board of Education cheerfully will
submit or secure any such information
that may be desired insofar as it is
able.
A petition signed by seventy "cit-
izezns of Garrett county and patrons
of the Grantsville school" has been
received recently at this Office. The
petition reads as follows:
Grantsville, Nd, March 16, 1921.
To the Honorable Members of the
County Board Of Education,
Oakland, Garrett Co., Maryland.
Conference.-The, the undersigned
citizens of Garrett county, and pat
rons of the Grantsville school, respect
fully beg to submit the following petit
ton to your honorable body, with the
view of enlisting your good offices and
/ kindly consideration in behalf ofan ap-
preparation by the County Commits
sioners for the purpose of getting in
this years school budget an adequate
sum for either remodeling and build
ing additional rooms to the present
school building or the erection of an
entirely new building at Grantsville,
Maryland.
The citizens of this school district
have signified a willingness to sub
scribe in labor or cash the equivalent
of minimum sum of $1,000
In our opinion we could not make a
very creditable showing on this build
ing with a sum less than $4,000. For
this we respectfully pray.
The Board of Education, in harmony
with previous statements made in this
letter of transmittal, fully endorses
and approves the above request of
| $4,000 and stands ready to execute
fully the purposes thereof. The Board
also makes formal request for suffi-
Gent funds to construct buildings at
the other places named and estimates
the amount of 100000 as necessary in
orderto meet all demands for suitable
and adequate school buildings. This
amount of 100000 is the same sum as
was advocated for building needs at
the time the bond bill for school build
ing was originated and endorsed last
year. The Board of Education hest
tated to place the sum of 100000 un-
der Capital Outlay after New Build
lngs and Equipment" but the sum was
fnally included so that there could
not possibly be upon the part of any
one any misunderstanding in refer
ence to the position of the Board of
Education in connection with its atti-
tude thereto. This petition from
Grantsville is submitted here in view
OF its being typical of similar petitions
which are in this office or which can
be secured upon short notice from any
or all of the remaining centers listed
above and from which no recent COM
| munlcations are herewith reproduced.
