Aldermen Table Bid
For School Building
School Commissioners Criticized for Permitting Gaff=
ney School to Become Dilapidated; $500 Offered

Republican aldermen strongly de-
nounced the proposed sale of the
Gaffney school for S., 500 on an Of
fer submitted by Walter Goelet, and
the board finally decided at the
meeting last night to table the mat
ter& During the discussion the Re-
publicans took to task the persons
who were responsible for the man
agement of the property, for per
hitting a $4,000 construction, built
in 1924, to become delapidated to
the extent that the highest offer
made for both the building and
the land, the latter purchased for
$1,700, came to $780,
The school premises were lnves-
tigated by the land committee and
revealed that the front wall was
bullying, the skylight destroyed and
the Hastings of the building stolen.
AL 1.-The interior is ruined, the COM
mittee reported, because of the de-
struction of the skylight and the
other leaks caused by the bullying
walls, so that it is unsafe to even
walk on the floors. Most of the fix
lures were taken out and installed
elsewhere udring the depression
years. The furnace is not permitted
to be moved to mother building be-
cause of government regulations,
but the CRATES have been put to
use elsewhere.
The committee revealed that it
will lcost $4,000 to reestablish the
building to it's original appearance.
Alderman Peter DeCicco (R) as
serted that he knew the condition
of the building to be deplorable but
could not understand now, If it cost
the city $4,000, it could not be sold
for more than $500, or put In good
condition again for approximately
$1,000. The district is growing and
after the war the school may be
needed, or another may have to be
built at higher price, he said. He
pointed out that the city carries in
surance of $4,000 on it, and urged
that it be kept for two years more
at least.
Alderman William Gerard (R)
held the board of education respon-
sible for it's deterioration, 1T is
shame that the board of edudca-
ton allowed the building to deter
iorate so. 1t is up to this board to

Boston, June 22.-(UP)-A group
of independent theater owners will
file a bill in congress soon demand
ing that a ceiling be placed upon
film prices and rentals throughout the
United States, it was announced
here.
The owners have refined George

He will make a tour of Canada to
study the ceiling price plan in eff
feet there before submitting the bill
to congress.
Farnum said film companies had
developed a virtual monopoly and
had demanded a terrific increase"
