Aldermen II ts and Jarrell both stated ycsierday that they favored the proposed move, but feu that a matt* r *f such im portsn* should la- thoroughly ill- usset before t iking action.

"E am not in favor of opening through the squares generally," said Alderman Horngan. "and I find that the people in j my <*tion of 4he city ur generally op- , posed to such ii move." A Herman Jhornan m opposed to th** move because he Is doubtful of the effect which such a change in the nppearanc* of the squares would have and because I** thinks it would be greatly to the Inconven ience of the people whose houses front upon th** squares amt who would be prac tically shut off from •cress lo the front of their hou*iw. I** Ing compelled to make use of th* side streets. Where then* aie nn*t“ thsn two houses to a Mo* k fronting the square this ituonventencf would be ¥• ry decided. I "Th** squares ar** pretty and attractive nnd In h* proper shape now." said Maytrr Myers, * and the best thing to do Is to keep them Just a** they are. Our people take grut pride in their square*, as It Is r.ght they should, and any change which wotnd m*r their lieauty w*oukl be a very serious loss to the city. I think Aider man Dixon will find the opposition to his move very general." Th** general Impression among many of those who oppose any change In the pres ent status of the squares, seems to be that the proposed change wouM destroy the benuty of the squares and thus re move one of the distinctive f* stores of the city. Alderman Dixon and those who regard his move with favor say that this lmpresiuw is entirely erroneous. Instead of Injuring the squares in any wav. they say that the result would be to greatly Increase th*lr attractiveness and to make them a still more distinctive feature of the city than they are at present lli sitrad of decreasing the area devoted to the squares within each quadrangle, the griuare jre* would In* consldcijl.ly in creases! It obviously requires less space for ons street than two, even though the one be wider than either of the two. n*l the rounded corners of the squares now throw considerable unnecessary spare In the streets which under the new plan would b** taken up In the squares The plan for Calhoun square, which has been on exhibition In Director Gadsden's off!* e for several months, shows that by throw ing out the corners of the squares to the adjacent property lines on the east nnd west an* additional area f I!.•>■ square feet of space can be obtained for tsrk purpose* while at the same time allowing a street 65 feet In width through the cen ter That the carrying out of the plan would make a considerable change in the .qe pearanee of the squares la not denied hut that It Is claimed that this change would b* considerably for the lietter In ate and of each square containing park in the center encircled ty strf**ts, th * aqur*s would contain two i*arks dlvldtht by a wide street with sidewalks on each aide, the parka xtending to the property Hi e H on the wist and west, but not on th* north and south This would leave nil streets on the north nnd south of the aquare* as well as the one running through each square, open for truf fle The wide streets Intersecting the trust ints would abut on the *quares.

It is pio|*osed to modify the architect’s plans by substituting wood st.ilr-cases for those *if ir* . and also to leave off the observa tory. It U expected that with these change** the coat of the building will be within the means of the trustees of the academy If In the future the funds permit of It. the original plan <tn be carried out. Not building the observatory or cupola will save in ih*- cost of th* building. As that Is something that can readily he dis pensed with, no one will find fault if It Is not built for years to come. What Is needed i.ow is more school room, un*t that the trustees of the academy propose giving with*mii uelay. The consumtna’lon of this promised so lution of the difficulties that I ave alter <l - the rebuilding of th** Academy wII prove n source of considerable satisfac tion and relief to Superintendent Ashmore, who ho i to bear the brunt of the com plaints from dlSMitlstlc.l parents, anxious to have their children admitted to th % public schools. Mr Ashmore Mated yes terday that there were more than three hundred children on the waiting list, lor whom no places could now b>- found, and that there doubt leu* are very many more In th** city, who are not on the list on’y becaur their parents perceive that there Is no hone of having them enter the schools this year. .%€TIVK WORK \\ %* HKGIR.
