will generally -iront In a northwest
erly direction. The main structure
or administration ' building, forms
the center of tho entire' schomu,
with an cast wing Identical to the

noted, were from 20 to 50 per cent,
higher than the estimates made last
spring by City Engineer Robert B.
Gould, and because of the high cost. '
it Is probable that no more Improve
