Hcyond discussing a number of mat ters pertinent to the work of thu school board, the county commission ers and city commissioners no action was taken at the first combined meeting- of the throe governing- bodies held In the office of the county commis sioners last night. All of the meni brs with the exception of W. I... Brew ster, city commissioner of public af fairs, who was ill, were present. Plans were discussed for a clause-in the. building code whereby school build ings may be constructed under "class B conditions instead of class A. The members of the school board contended that ample safety could be given in case of fire by building school struc tures under class B buildings, and the saving in cost would be enormous. It was suggested by Commissioner Dieck that the question be taken up with the building department, which is now revising the building code and have such a. provision inserted in the measure before it is submitted to the city council. While the exchange of the old res ervoir block at Sixth and Grant streets to the school board for use as a site for the new Shattuck school was dis cussed,, no action was taken. It has been proposed that the City give this block to the school board, providing the board purchases a block westward for use in the completion of Terwilli ger boulevard. At the conclusion of the conference it was decided to have a committee, consisting of County Commissioner Holman, City Commissioner Brewster and Chairman Sabin of the school board, make a schedule of questions whereby the three organizations may be able to secure cooperation for great er economy. This committee is to make its report next Monday afternoon at 4 o"clock. when another Joint meeting ' ii-f 1 1 V. r. 1 , 1 Pnfnilar' mnAtlnpQ rt tho three bodies are to lie hereafter held the last Monday' night of each month. t lie John Scott Back From San Francisco General Passenger Agrent of southern Pacific Attends Hate Conference Af fecting: Exposition Next Tear.
