The old Washington school win

the opening pi school next ian,
it was decided last night at the
regular board; meeting. A dele
gation of about 25 people from
the Englewood district appeared
before the directors and urged
that some action be taken to pro
vide school facilities in that sec
tion for their !hlldreni who now
must go long distances to Garfield
or Englewood. When the matter
wis brouitht" ns for Tote, not a
director dissented. " '
The matter was referred to the
building committee with instruc-
tions to determine what amount
should be expended In putting the
budding in shape for use. The
committee will report to fhei
board at the next regular meet-j
lng. and than bids for improve
ments will be advertised.
A report from Cuyler Van Pat
ton, local contractor, which was
read to the board, Indicates that
the building 'was structurally
tound, with the exception of a
light deflection in jj the . second
floor joists over tbe main floor

?X Joist directly uttdX the tower I
over the west entrance waa a bit

Mr. aVn Patten recommended
that the roof be reshlngled, the
building rewired, and other .minor
defects corrected- He said $8000
should be sufficient Sidney to' pat
the school into rood shane to cure
for two or three hundred children.
The motion; to re-open the
building was made by Director
' Mark McAllister, and seconded by
Director Frank Nef r. The mo
tion stipulated 1 that the full ele
