Wants Three Stories
Vonnegut was scheduled to recon-
mend a three-story building with
$500 capacity at Thirty-Fourth st.
He said that the determined stand
of patrons, civic leaders and Short
ridge teachers had caused him to
change from his proposal last Tues
day night for an 1900 caapcity
school supported by a Junior high
system. Old plans call for a two
story building.
He was expected to ask the board
TO consider placing an elevator
system on the building, new pro-
posal in school construction. The
elevator would be OF the automatic
type which could be operated by
pupils. The purpose would be to aid
physically deficient children. he said.
Mrs. Sedwick declared she has
always been in favor of $500 ca
pacity building and that she had
taken no active part in the proposal
Of Vonnegut and Kern to build the
800 capacity school on the loca-
tion.
IT want it understood that ! never

II believe the F'orty-Sixth st. tract
is the better one. but I think that
If the board decides on Thirty
Fourth st. for the larger building
there is no use throwing sway the
old plans"
It is estimated that TO cast away
the plans drawn would cost the
board approximately $4,000.
The minority will take deter
mined stand for the large building

mand that the old plans be used for
