100. 900 will go toward the new con-
vent. which will be n of the best
buildings in this vicinity. The ad-
dition OF six school rooms to the
school will necessitate the erection
OF a two story extension. Accord
ing 10 the plans of the pastor, three
school rooms will be laid out on
each floor and the basement will be
one of the finest equipped gym
nasiums around. Ten thousand dol
lars will be used to remodel and re-
pair the rectory house.
This work will be commenced
within a short time. The convent

OWNED POWER PLAN

TOTTENVILLE, April 10.-In a
communication to Mayor Hylan, the
Staten Island Civic League has come
out strongly endorsing the plans OF
Commissioner Grover S. Whalen for
a municipal electric power house
and municipal shipyard at the Lake
Island garbage plant in Freshkiji
creek. In the communication the
various advantages are set out for
the site. Among them are the loca-
ton, the opening up of h west
shore of the island and the elimina-
ton of the danger of the opening Oh
the garbage plant.
That a municipal shipyard pro-
perly equipped would result In bet
ter and more economic maintenance
of the large feet of city owned boats
including fire boats and ferry boats.
1t is hoped by the Civic league and
others that the visit of the mayor
md the board of estimate here short
ly will act favorably in the matter
OF taking over the garbage plant
for municipal use.
