ERECT SCHOOL TO
 BEST ADVANTAGE
SculIy Suggests Proper Planning Even If Restric=
 tions Are Disregarded NO ACTION RESULTS

The new school in Fairlawn Manor should be erected to its best advantage, even though restrictions shall be disregarded. This was the sentiment of the board of educa- tion at it's regular meeting held yesterday afternoon, the idea orig mating from the suggestion Of Commission Martin Scully who stated that he thought the resi- dents of the vicinity adjoining the plot on which the school Is to be constructed will not object if the school is put up disregarding the restrictions.
 However, no action was taken on this as the city engineering de- pertinent has not completed Inc plans. They will be taken up in the very near future at a special meeting of the board to be held as soon as the plans are finished. The chair will issue a call for the ses- sfon. At this time, the engineer ing department will be asked to submit plans showing the mann"r in which the school would be placed were there no restrictions.
 If the school Is to be built sev- enty feet back to comply with the restrictions, there will be no room for expansion and it will be i'm possible to properly add to the school.
 The corporation counsel ruled some time ago that the restrictions must be observed. MT Scully stat ed, however, that the school should be started with view towards erecting 1t to it's best advantage and if there were any complaints | from property owners it would then be up to them and not the school board if the school Is ulti-
