that the subcommittee was unani- nous In it's decision to have Supt. Holmes draft tentative plans.
 Supt. Holmes said 1t Is not his plan, that it is the plan Of The school accommodations committee and that he is aiding the committee through advice.
 T, personally. am In favor Of 8 new site, and In that case we can use the present Senior High school plant for a junior high school and we could abandon the unsatisfac- tory building where the Central Junior High school is located he said.
 Day Takes Stand
 IL was at this time that the strongest statement of the meeting was made, Committeeman William II. Day saying:
 There is no question of the reed. I fully agree with Mir. Casale. The cost of the additional unit would be s250.O00 while that Of new unit would be a million and quarter. AS much as I would like 10 have a modern unit, we must get other problems off our shoul- ders. There is the junior high school situation and the new elementary school on Oak street. People will revolt 1T we keep asking them for scboo1
 He concluded with the statement that the plan which the committee has in the works would connect the academic and vocational buildings, which would be meeting the situa- tion in a practical way. he said.
 'Is there motion before the house, Mir. Chairman" ?" Mrs. Fife Kimball, a member Of the commit tee. asked. T. too. could talk for 15 minutes on the matter. but are we In order?" Mrs. Kimball demanded to know.
 Committeeman Nettled
 Apparently that is rebuke for those who have been just speaking and I accept 1t as such" Mir. Day declared, hotly. T resent that re- mark" he added.
 The discussion was apparently brought to a close on the motion of Mrs. Kim ball that the report of the school accommodations committee be accepted SIS one of progress.
 MT. Casale. however. was given the privilege Of the floor and he asked: How old is the academic building?" When he was told it was about 30 years old he said: That might have been an ideal section of the city to have high school then. but the great part Of the population Is in the northern section.
 If the taxpayers want to revolt, let them revolt" he said. That's what revolts are for" he added. T want you to clearly un- derstand that I am opposed to this plan for l feel strongly on the mat ter" he said as he sat down.

 When the matter of use Of two basement rooms in the Bartlett school came up, members asked if this was 10 be on temporary basis and If relief could be expected with the completion of the new Sacred Heart school. Chairman P. F. King said he wouldn't advise the commit tee to bank on this.
