 North End School Considered The main question to be consider. ed by this committee is whether { | Broom addition shall be built be. 1 tween the existing units of the Senior High school, on plans prepared b,
 the architecural firm of Warrel i Holmes Powers Co., of Lansing
 Mich, at a cost of about s54o.ooo, ol 1 whether an entire new school shal 1 be built to serve the northern anc
 northwestern sections.
 1 The main arguments advanced ! thus far in favor of the schoo i accommodations committee plan i, | that IT IS more economical and tha
 it preserves the school as one unit
 The opponents of this plan. whil. | admitting the cost of new higl school would he greater. point to tn, ! fact that the present building is To { cated miles from the sections whicl
 are now in process Of deyelopmen and that these districts are entitle, : to Senior High school accommoda 1 tions.
 i Representatives of the schoo ! board have been at the office of tn, ! mayor twice in unsuccessful at
 tempts to speed Up action on tn, i plan but he has declined to sanc'io, 1 it in view of the rather general op | position.
