COME FROM
Indecision of several weeks standing concerning the loca
tion of the proposed Tuxedo Park junior high school was
finally settled at the school board meeting last night when the
board voted to place the building opposite the end of Cottage
street. Directors Neer, McCallister and Downs : voted in
favor of the site, while Chairman Olinger voted against it.
Dr Olinger favored the other site under discussion, which
was about 50 feet east of the one adopted, facings the middle
of the block between. Cottage and Winter streets.
r A committee consisting of. Directors Simeral, Neer and
Olinger was appointed to take up ' . .
with the city council matters o( PM IIMITQ Tfl iniM
drainage and sewers, and discuss
the water problem for the new
school with the water company.;
Considerable discussion took
place over the" sewer and drainage
problems. The board considers
it imperative that a tile drain be
built immediately through -the
gully running east and west
through the middle of Tuxedo
Park, and seeks to have the city
council finance building the drain
.The problem of either building
sewers to connect with the city
sewer running near the east end of
Tuxedo '.Park, or constructing
septic tank to care for sewage,
was discussed. The distance from
tne building, site to the city sewer
is so great that cost of a connect
irg line' will. be' large.
Aseptic tank; can be built at less
cost, but . there is considerable
doubt as to its practicability in
the kind of soil there. No definite
decision was made on this ques
tion, . but it will .be, discussed at
the. board meeting next . Tuesday.
The V-type of building, shown
in, the architects: plans was finally
approved by the board, and a dis
cussion on costs was held. . A.bUni
of $100,500 is -available for the
whole enterprise and $90, 00 was
decided as the amount available
for construction work, excluding
architects' fees, , sidewalks and
et uipment.
Charles D. James, of the firm
of James & Bartholomew, arch!
tects making the plans, was pres
ent and showed detailed drawings
of the -first and second floors.'
These drawings showed minor
ehangesrBueh as making! the halls
12 feet wide, rather than 10 feet
as originally planned, and changes
In some of the rooms made as a
result of a conference between the
architects and school department
heads. - -
"Mr. James suggested that some
radical changes may have to be
made in the plans in order to keep
construction costs within the $30,-
000 allowed.
