has also been engaged to draw the
plan for the new school building to be
erected at Mineral Point next year.
His preliminary sketches for Bloom
ington call for a building about 65x90,
two stories and basement wonder
full building containing large assem-
bly, room for the high school, gym
nasium about 45X70, and all other
necessary rooms, including space for
all the grades. 1t is a building which
many towns much larger than Bloom
ington would be proud of and should
take care of present and future school
needs for this entire vicinity The ar
chitect and school board are agreed
on the elimination of all frills and I'M
necessary ornament and have reliable
information that the building planned
can be constructed for the $4,000
available The plan is to erect the
building just east of the present high
school, and facing east, the reasons
being better lighting possibilities and
better laying land than in any other
section of the high school park. This
will also allow the old buildings to
be used until the new one is finished.
