The following statement concerning
the necessity of additional school fa-
cilities on the North Side has been
prepared by the school board OF Dis
trict No. l:
The problem OF providing room for
the school children of District No. 1
has been serious question for sew
eral years, and at the present time
every available space-includinE base
ment rooms, is being utilized. In 1912
the school census of the district was
54s3-it is now 6S04-an increase of
over 25 per cent.
One other fact has largely contrib-
uted to the crowded condition-and
that Is the great increase in the per-
centage of the school population that
is enrolled in the schools. In 1912 only
20 per cent OF the school population
was enrolled and in 1921 a per cent.
In other words, while the school GEN.
sus has increased 25 per cent, the en-
rollment has increased nearly 40 per
cent.
In 1912 all buildings were full. Since
that time Park View school is the
only grade school that has been built
containing five grade rooms and n
kindergarten, a total Of six rooms
to take care Of an enrolment OF 40
per cent greater than in 1872.
There can be no doubt that addi-
tonal buildings are needed and addi-
tional buildings cost money. Under
these circumstances the thinking tax
payer and citizen will be interested to
know something about the financial
condition of tho district, and also what
it will cost in actual dollars and cents
to provide the necessary buildings.
We will consider first:
The district has outstanding a total
OF $241,0 900 bonded Indebtedness. which
is due in 1881 and Is optional at the
present time. In addition to these
bonds there is a floating Indebtedness
Of approximately 100000, consisting
of outstanding warrants. This makes
the total Indebtedness OF the district
1851 900. The assets OF the district

The second proposal was for the
grading, graveling and curbing of GER
tain boardwalk street ends from Juni-
per to Rio Grande n Three
bids on this proposed work were also
rendered:
Craythorn-Nickerson Co., $9,O95.
r. H. Coney, $9,22O.5O.
ODER and Woolson, $10,466.
The awarding of a contract on the
above work was held over until next
meeting. The funds at present avail
able for street work are said to be
several thousand dollars less than the
lowest amount bid on the repair of
the street ends.
The third proposal for street i'm
provements was for the grading and
graveling of Baker avenue, from the
railroad to Park boulevard; of Sus-
quehanna avenue from Montgomery to
Dock street; and of Dock street, from
S-usquehanna to the fishermen's wharf,
along Ottens Harbor. Three bids for
this work were also submitted:
Craythorn-Nickerson Co., ~$1,767.50.
r. H. Coney, $4,000.
ODER and Woolson, $2,360.
The Commissioners having reserved
the right to reject any or all bids, the
latter policy was adopted in this case,
for obvious reasons-the city, it is
said, being down to its last dollar and
then some.
On the proposal to grade and gravel
Pine avenue a distance of 1000 feet,
from Park boulevard in a westerly
direction to the point where the street
is DETECTED or turns, the bids run like
this:
Craythorn-Nickerson Co., $3,125.
r. H. Coney, $500.
ODER and Woolson, $3,578.
These bids we're also rejected be-
cause of lack of funds.
