DR.. Jackson Advises Building
Half Million Dollar School
Goes Over Local School Situation With Supt Horstck and
Principal WilsOn-Says City Should Build
For Future Growth

The high school which would be
built merely to meet the demands
Of the present would certainly not
be adequate to take care Of the
future growth of a community that
is multiplying as rapidly in popu-
lation as this one, was their belief.
Regarding site, Mr.. Horstick, in
a discussion of the Assistant Com
missioner's visit, regarded the Ans
ley Park site with favor. The site
has been judged a fine one for a
high school by members of the
Board of Education, and the Board
Of School Estimates has. asked
Council to provide the amount of
5000 for its purchase from the
Seaboard Development Company,
which is developing the one time
Bear Swamp, located just off the
boulevard, near the present Fox
development.
Mr.. Horstiek points out that the
projected site is away from rail
roads or trolley lines, and a good
block from a main thoroughfare,
which insures quietness about the
section. The site will be one OF
the residential type, with develop
ments being built on all sides. The
ground is directly in the center OF
the city, and near a trolley for
those who live some distance away.
The proposed site is located
