! same piece of property was received
| from the Nordstrom and Lamboy COM
4 pany of Milwaukee. The tract of land
| includes twenty-e ght acres in addition
| to the one occupied by the building to
| be used BIZ the Kohl company, and
| upon this land the Milwaukee COM
pany proposed to erect plant for
! the manufacture of a steam vulcaniz-
ing machine, patents on which are
! owned by them. The investment
would be $4,000, half of this to be
subscribed to start with. Alderman
| Borowitz vo.ced what was apparently
the opinion of the rest of the council
also, saying that the industry would
doubtless prove desirable, but the
home should not be neglected. Both
industries should be secured, but upon
due investigation and without rash ac-
ton Upon motion OF Alderman Ziels-
dorf the petition was referred to the
industrial committee.
o. l.. Ringle and superintendent OF
schools, S. b. Tobey, appeared before
the council with plans and estimates
for school building to be built in the
first ward. Mr.. Ringle addressed the
council, The matter OF new schools,
one in the first ward and one in the
north part OF the city, has been under
consideration by the board for long
time. There Is imperative necessity
for the erection of these schools in the
next year or two and the board now
has a proposition to submit The
building in the first ward can no long
er be deferred, it must be built this
summer, but it is believed that by fix
ing uptwo' room in the Grant school,
the contraction of new school in the
north end can be deferred for a time.
A closed conveyance would have to be
provided to take the children to and
from school,
New School
The question the board was asking
the council to decide was whether the
new school should include a gymna-
sum- Plans and estimates asked for
last summer of local architects set the
cost of four-room school with gym
nasium at $4,000. This was thought
excessive in view of the fact that the
Grant school had been built for
$685. and the Central school for
$112,000 Estimates received from
La Crosse architect recently set the
cost OF the school at $48000 without
the ymnas.um and $1,000 including
1t. The architect stated that the aver
age cost at the present time for the
building alone is about $4,000 per
room, but that there may be a decrease
in building costs of twenty or thirty
per cent in the next ninety days. The
board thought that the building alone
might be constructed for $4,000 and
the gymnasium for an additional
$4,000.
After five minute recess for ex-
animation of the plans a motion to
adjourn to week from next Friday
was carried. At this time the subject
will be taken up and action decided
upon.
The board holds an option of five
acres of land owned by j. j. Graebel
in the north part of the city, and Mr.. |
Tobey asked that this be purchased at
w 500, the price asked AS the option |
expires before the next meeting of |
the council a motion to purchase the
property was put through at once

matters IL was stated by alderman
Scholiield and the statement confirmed
by others, that the school board and
