BIG DELAY
In SCHOOL
FORESEEN
New Shortridge Faces Wait
of Year, Says Board
Minority.
MEETING IS SCHEDULED
Resembling Of All Former
Action Planned.

Completion Of the new Short
ridge High School today was
in danger of being delayed a
year, minority school board
members said.
A special meeting Of the board
was to be held at p. M, at which
Charles w. Kern was preparing to
present a resolution asking that the
board resclnd all moves Of the
former board looking toward the
erection OF the school, that changes
be made in the plans and specifica-
tions, and that the board re-adver-
tlse for construction bids.
Minority faction members esti-
mated that If the board decides to
reconsider the plans and make the
revisions, it will be six months be-
fore the plans will be ready. All
new board members said today they
contemplated changes in the heating
and ventilating system.
Plans Not Inspected
Theodore Vonnegut, board presi-
dent, and Mrs. Lillian Sedwick said
no other special changes were con.
sidered, and that the new board
members had not had the opportun-
ity to inspect the plans.
"The new board naturally has the
right to look over the plans for the
new building" Mrs. Sedwick said.
1T will be necessary to study the
plans before making any revision
that may be necessary"
The old board planned that Short
ridge High School students would be
housed in the new building at Thirty
Fourth and Meridian SITS. by Septem-
ber, 1927, and that construction
would be started this year.
However, if changes are made and
the plans revised, to any great ex-
tent. it is estimated that the build
ing will not be ready for occupancy
until September, 1923.
With opening of the new school
term in February, it is estimated
that 2.70c pupils will be enrolled in
Shortridge. The present building
can only care for 1900 without
crowding, school officials say.
Further congestion will be pre-
vented by opening Of the new Wash
ington and Jefferson schools. it was
believed.
New board members said they had
not yet considered changes in the
Space at Shortridge or in classroom
dimensions.
CIassr0oms Cut
Under the old boards regime, be-
cause Of strenuous objection on the
part Of taxpayiny bodies Of this city,
the cost Of Shortridge was slashed
from $1,950,0 900 to the present figure
OF $1,200,000. To do this the old
board changed the school plans, al
tering the size of many classrooms,
always making them smaller and
even eliminating several.
The main third.fioor corridor In
the new Shortridge was cut in width
~ tOlH ID " - lSct. Inc Ola DOdrQ
agreed that If there were any minor
changes in the plans after they were
drawn these could be made on con-
sent Of board members, without halt
ing the schools construction.
1t is said that another change con-
templated Is placing corridor on
each side Of the auditorium to be
on the second floor Of the new
building.

CIVIL SERVICE
JOBS SCARCE:

Government jobs are at a
greater premium today than ever
before.
In accordance with the rules of
the 1.-TWO Per Cent Personnel Club
started by Budget Director H. M.
Lord at the last budget meeting in
June, personnel officials of the va
rious departments are not filling
vacancies in their roles.
Men and women, therefore, with
Civil Service status, who ordinarily
would have little trouble locating
positions in the Federal service, are
walking the streets from depart
ment to department in efforts to
find something to do. In most
cases, it is said, they are unsuc-
cessful.
At the last budget meeting Gen
eral Lord told Government execu-
tives that In order to aid in meet
ing the Presidents economy budget
they were asked to effect two
per cent saving in their payrolls
by failing to fill vacancies as they
occurred.
This, he said, would effect a saw
ing to the Government within IL
months of about $20,000,000.
There is some hope for jobless
Civil Service Clerks however. AS
soon as the payrolls have been re-
duced two per cent, the division
heads will begin to take ION new
clerks at the usual. rate.
