Church It was found that this property was small in area and, in addition, was undesirable both as to clarity Of title and general en- yilonment. The Board considered property locatsd upon Willoughby Avenue and again the matter oi clarity Of title as well as the expense ct filling seemed to indicate thal it was not suitable site. The sits in the Waynor Tract has been con sidered for long period of time by the School Board who at first considered taking an option on this property. When they discovered that the property was not clear of resi- 1ential restrictions, they instead in- stituted, with the consent of the owner, a process of condemnation to clear these residential restrictions in lisu of taking an option. This ste is well located as regards the present and future child population of Junsau. There are currently 200 children who live closer to the Waynor Addition site than to the present Juneau Schools.
 "Tae key question of course in the entire matter is one of safety it has been stated that this site is rart of a slide area. The Juneau School Board first questions wheth- CT CT not the Juneau City Council knows the exact location of the pro- posed site. They feel that if the Jul neau City Council had personally inspected the exact location, theil present doubts would not exist. Int Juneau Board investigated the prob lem of slides, using the expert ad- vice of MT. Chris Wyller MT Wyl- Ter, accompanied by President Rude and Superintendent Clark inspected the site and toured on foot the area behind the proposed location. Il was the opinion of MT Wyller that no danger existed from slides on this site.
 Again may we repeat that we have no desire CT intention to locate a puclic building upon a dangerous area. Ii the Juneau City Council will investigate the exact location as has been done by the School Board, we feel that they will arrive at the same conclusion. In the event this is not the case, the Juneau School Board would be nest pleased to meet with the Education Com mittee of the City Council for fur ther consideration of the matter Tn the event that we are wrong, we will be the first to relinquish any plans for construction upon this To- cation, as we feel that the safety of the children Of the people of Jul neau is our highest responsibility
