Editor Id Saturday's paper you Bay, hear it talked that some members of the board of school trustees are in favor of erecting a wooden building for the graded school. The believes it would be a serious mistake to have such a building built of wood if the trustees have such in contemplation we hope they will change their plans and put up a brick house The above extract is from day's and it reads like you thought the trustees had determined on a wood building as a matter of choice and not from a matter of necessity. Such is not the case. I do not think there is a on the board who would not prefer a brick building. The situation this- We are trustees of a sacred public trust, we are charged with certain public duties. The sum of has been placed in our hands with ch to meet and discharge the duty of erecting and equip- ping the necessary buildings for the graded schools for the two races. Of this sum we must set apart at least for and the buildings for the whites, and this is whether it be of wood or brick. We mutt also set apart at least for the furniture and other equipments for the white school building. We must also set a part at least for the and re- pairs to the colored school build This leaves us but to into buildings for the white child Out of this we must pay the charges of the architect, the com- missions of the treasurer, which will leave us about for the building. We must put up a building of sufficient dimension and capacity to accommodate the white child- of the graded school district. It will do to put up one of capacity to accommodate a part of the children in order to get a brick building. We have gone far enough in our investigations to know we can put up such a build out of wood with the we have in hand and that we cannot put it up of brick. The architect and the tell us that a building costs about one third more than a wooden That is to say, that if a wooden building the same building ill brick will cost about We have the We have not the If we had we would all be for brick. We are How can we get Will or some one else tell us Do you say borrow it Then, reply, two questions arise. 1st. Have we the authority to do so 2nd. If we have the authority to is it wise to For one I am anxious that the management and work of the school shall be such as to silence all opposition. Will going in debt tend to bring about this end I can one way the needed two thousand can be obtained. The town char- gives the board of aldermen power to property for streets, side-walks, but it re- quires the to m to pay for it. The town bus title to the streets and side walks in front of the o d academy. It has never condemn- ed it. The deed to the trustees of Pitt academy and side walks. The of the academy property d to the line of the Alfred Forbes property on the east side of the street, so that the legal title to the street is in the trustees of the academy. began to build up people began to cross the my grounds and then Evans street was opened across these grounds simply by working them and not by any condemnation proceedings and compensation has ever been made to the trustees. The only title the town has to the street either legal or equitable is such as it has acquired by user. Now if the board of aldermen will out of its funds on the sum of to the board of tees as for the prop- taken we will have half of the needed sum to erect a brick build- I knew such an would be legal and I believe it would be wine. Then if the incoming board o aldermen will make the tax on liquor to the town for purposes now to help erect the school and to help run the school, this will give us another Now with the two dollars derived from these two sources we change from a wood to a brick So it is in the power of the out going and the iD-coming board of aldermen the board of trustees of the Graded school to erect a nice brick building. Or if the board of alder- men would have a conference might come to our help. The limit in the charter for liquor business is some towns it is If the board would make the tax say to go to the erection of the buildings and the out going board would for the property taken this would raise the necessary Or it the choose to go to the limit that alone would be Now will those who so strongly advocate a brick building interview the two boards of alder men and see if some agreement cannot be reached by which the needed be bad, or some other plan to get it oilier than borrowing it. I am sure the board of trustees would gladly change to a brick building if some one will open the way to them that does not require them to go in debt. We meet on the 26th to let the building to and I I voice the sentiment of the board when I say it would delight us if the citizens would take the matter up and in way provide us with the money to contract for a brick building.
