 Tho survey committee is making a drive against auditorium costs, favor ing combination auditorium and gym nasium to be built as economically as possible,
 In the Washington school an effort will be made to change the building plan to eliminate this auditorium and ir it's stead place 10 school rooms at an alleged saving to the city of about SSO,00o.
