That j I, the question that will be put up to the mayor and general council, tnwliuc the Stroll# uppeal by The Ooor- xinn for more school houses, and Its revelation of present conditions. for the board of education decided lo put it up to council at the meeting held Thursday afternoon. The board decided to ask council for (130,000 for new buildings next year. And oven at that the present conges, linn " III hardly be relieved. This amount Is for the building of two new modem brick schools that will just about take care of'the natural in crease In the attendance of next year over this year, and it also includes the price of a school and site to take the place of the present Marietta street school. * This school is situated practically on the railroad and It is the site princi pally which makes It undesirable for school purposes. * And yet this amount of money will probably seem enormous to the officials who have charge of the city’s purse strings. It may be a large amount, but even at that it will not take care of those children in the crotyded schools who ere now compelled to get their education In crowded, basement rooms —rooms which are like those that had to he abandoned because the doctors raid they were unhealthy. Attendance Is Increasing. Tt will be recalled that ever since |H»2- the attendance • arVKb schhcls has | increased about 890 each year. It this hns been the case in the past, the rchool officials declare that It will amount to this much if not more in 19n7. So with Just the natural increase, the two new schools asked for will only about take care of this Increase. The money spent for the new building und rite to take the place of the Marietta Street school will not count. That building will only take care of the many children who are already crowd ed into the present school. It the children are to be properly taken care of while they are getting their education, more than this amount •f money will have to be appropriated hv council. But If this Is not done. It will hardly do to shave down the amount asked for. It that Is done the congestion next year will be greater than It Is now. And It must be bad enough if chil dren have to be crowded into rooms that were formerly used for coal stor age. The burden will sdon be on the mayor and general council. It’s either at least $120,000 for new schools or children crowded into frame shacks and Into basement, cellar and coal rooms. i SALARY NO OBJECT—WE WANT THE JOB.
