"More glass, gentlemen, is
replaced at Caledonia than al
any other school in East Cleve-
land"
This was School Superintend-
ent Harold Nichols reply to
School Board Member Hamil-
toms question about the econ
omy of so much glass in the
projected addition to Rozelle.
The tentative plans and archi-
tect's rendering of this build
ing were examined at the Mon
day evening School Board meet
ing.
Originally planned as one
floor, six-room building, with
an estimated cost of S120, 900.
a re-appraisal of space require
ments will enable Board mem
bers to approve a bargain
cost of $4,000 for eight
rooms.
Second Story Added
This added space necessltates
the addition Of a second-story
to the building, due to lot limi-
tations, but it has the added
attraction Of being potentially
more useful in long-range
plans.
The building is primarily de-
signed for kindergarten and
first grade use. 1t will have
no basement, but will contain

been taken down than have
been planted. The major reason
for this is the ever-increasing
number Of elms affected by the
tree killing Dutch Elm disease,
which has continued to spread
in spite of the semi-annual
spraying program.
During the first ten months
of 1861, 155 trees Of all types
were removed, but only 130
trees were planted. The 1862
planting program will erase
this deficit and put us slightly
ahead Of the anticipated losses.
Various Factors Considered
Various factors are taken
into consideration when decid-
ing where to plant street trees.
Among them are the width of
the tree lawn. the presence of
existing trees on the property
owners lawn, the location of
water and sewer connections,
and so forth.
Definite plans are ready to
plant approximately 20 trees
on East 134th between Hartford
and Shaw, about dozen on
Shawview, and Is each on the

Even If you roll a hook ball
