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
