School Dept. Building Program
 Shows $577,OO0 Needed Now

''The above items have been ar-
 ranged in what seems to us to be
 their order of importance. In addition to these items, it will be necessary soon to take some action with a view to meeting future needs of the Mon
 roe district. At the present time this building is overcrowded, but tempor- ary relief can be had if the old Nor maj school should be placed at the disposal of the school department We believe, however, as soon as d suitable site can be agreed upon that the city should make it possible for us to acquire land for the develop ment of a new, modern school in this district
 We also believe that within two years it will be necessary for the city to provide schools in what we now call the Viets district and to provide additional accommodations for junior and senior high schools"
 Majority for Cafeteria
 Parents Of pupils at the Senior High school have already been given an opportunity to vote on whether they wish a cafeteria at the High. school and by 8 majority of about 100 they signifed their wish to ahave such service rendered the pupils. The num- Der voting. however was but frac- ton of the entire number to whom ballots were sent, and was not con- sidered representative. Yesterday Mrs Fife NJ Kimbal asked what had been done about bringing the cafe teria question before the finance board. Chairman Traut of the finance committee said he had not received the boards sanction and did not pre- sent it.
 Mrs. Laura r. Mangan moved that the finance committee seek an appro- priation. Mir. Traut opposed. He said many parents have approached him and complained that such an innova- tion would keep their children away from meals. would be costly, and that they might eat cakes instead of soups or other nourishing foods. On a vote, Mir. Pratt was the only one opposed and he refused to change his vote so that the finance committee might have unanimous backing. As result of yesterdays action, the board Of finance and taxation will be asked to appropriate 5000 for the cafeteria service
 The committee also voted to ask . the finance board to transfer funds in . the amount of s6,9lO to make up shortages existing in the department. The funds in which there will~be de- iciencies are: Coal s3,oO0: light and power sl,5Oo; ianitors salaries, s2,- it0. i.
