Housing
Three years ago the board faced
very serious housing problem. At
that time all the schools were hous'
I'd In the Central and Riverside
buildings. q hall In Mills Addition.
and a small building at Pelican City.
Some classes We're attending bu,
half days, the rooms being made to
do double scryiee, In the face Of
wartime prices for material and la
bor the board was compelled to en-
ter upon baAding program.
During lthe summer and fall Of
1919 a modern four-room brick
building. with full completed base
ment. play rooms. janitor's quar-
ters. etc. was completed in the
Mills addition at cost OF $23,i0I.-
- for building and site. This
building took care OF the Mills addi-
tion children. only, leaving the 9TH
cr schools congested as before In
the summer and fall OF 1920 a SINH
lar building was erected In the Fair
view addition at cost OF S39,256.-
10 for building and site. In the
meantime the Main street court
house hapl been raquisitioned for
school purposes. and five rooms
housed there for several months.
Immediately upon occupying the
Falryiew building II was found me-
ccssary TO place one class Ia small!
room designed for an office. In the
the Pelican Bay school
was occupying two small frame
buildings. entirely inadequate TO
their use. In 1891 modern four
room school was built between Ship
pington and Pelican City at cost
of s36.5s5.ii for building and site,
and additions were built to both
Fairyiew and Mills schools at a cost
OF si7,976.22 for both additions
With these additions we have six
room buildings at both Mills and
Fairyicw. Thus. sixteen school
rooms. Just half the present capa-
city OF our several schools combined.
have been provided during the last
three years. when prices.of both ma
terial aud labor have. been exorbi-
tant, For the first time in several
years we now have ample room for
our present needs, with two vacant
rooms at Mills and one at Pelican
Day to take care OF further growth,
Both the Central and Riverside
schools are unfortunately located,
the former being too centrally situ-
ated. and the latter too remote,
Both are eight-room schools, but to
make any thing like an equal dis
tribution OF attendance II is neces-
sary to make the dividing line at
Eighth street. only one block from
Central school. This causes us to
face many protests from parents be-
cause OF having to send their chill
dren to Riverside, when they live
much nearer Central,
Central school, being on Main
street In the heart OF the business
district. involves certain danger to
children. | think | speak the senti.
