meeting OF the Board of Education
last evening the question OF provid-
ing adequate school facilities for
next school year was discussed.
President Holiday reported that II.
A. Taylor, engineer for the Delaware
School Auxiliary. at the request of
the board, made an inspection visit
to No. school building last week.
What method TO pursue to provide
adequate quarters for next year
enrolment Is a problem the school
directors have been endeavoring TO
solve for six months. They recently
applied TO the Trustees OF Market
Square and the School Green for
permission to erect a portable four
room building on the school green
10 house the four upper grammar
grades. This request was turned
down by the trustees. Two plans
have been advanced by the board,
but no definite action has been taken
on either.
The first is the erection OF a two
story addition adjoining No. l build
ing on the west and the other Is the
erection OF two two-room school
buildings on the academy plot in
front of No. building. At the last
meeting the board instructed the
secretary to request an opinion Of
Francis deH. Janvier, city solicitor,
as to how far the authority of the
board goes in matters concerning
the academy plot. In a reply re-
ceived from Mr.. Janvier last even
ing, the board was informed ii had
full charge Of the plot and that as
long as It was used for school pur-
poses no other civic body had any
control over It.
At the conclusion OF the discussion
Il was decided TO have the secretary
write the American Portable School
House Company requesting quota
tions. plans and specifications in de-
tall concerning two-two- story school
buildings, and also to get an estimate
from a local contractor as to the ap-
proximate cost OF erecting one from
plans submitted by the Delaware
School Auxiliary.
Engineer Taylor informed tho
board that in his opinion an addition
two stories high containing four
rooms 70 be erected OF brick, would
cost between $4,000 and $4,000,
and then would not be as adequate
and desirable as two two-story port
ables. To meet the present condi-
tions, he recommended the serious
consideration by the board TO the
erection OF the portable type of
building.
