The problems of changes in streets and alleys Murroumllni; the new hifch school site on South Onlululo avenue are now occupy ing the attention of the school board, city council and citv plan niliK commission, and in the near future the rilmnco and streets committees of t lie council will meet with the city planning com mission and school board in an effort to reach an agreement. The planning commission hits made the- following report to tlu city council on tlile matter, which the council has placed on file to await action when it receives tile report of recommendation from its committees named above: KciXHl Flkil. "The construction of the new high school on the .South Otik dale avenue site presents two problems whicli must be solved before the school board can pro ceed With Its program. "First, the school board asks that AVhitman (south of Monroe extension), Jasper and Ivy streets, ami the intervening alleys, be va cated betwe-.'n .Monroe and Mel rose streets. On the other hand the planning commission, witli the school board .concurring, de sires that Monroe street be ex tended southwesterly to a point on'Uakdale avenue, opposite the end of Dakota avenue, the wid ening of Monroe street from 00 to XII feel, the widening of JO'il yoll avenue (High street) to 70 feet, tile Widening cf .Melrose to 70 feet, and the widening of Oak dale avenue, opposite the school properly, to SO feet, Important Street "In oriler to assist In l h,- ac complishment of these projects, the school board will dedicate tin- additional width necessary on Monroe (between Whitman ami Kenybn), Keiiyon and Onkdale tiventie, and 20 feet on Melrose between lie building site and Ken yon avenue. ' Kxtcnsinu of Monro-.1 streel to Oakdale avenue is a part of the major street plan recently adopt ed by the planning commission and -city cuimrll. " Tlicrefurts H is recommended that tin- city . council spare no effort In order to bring about the consumma tion of the first step In the pro gram of opening Ibis major street. Monroe street is particularly im portant, as It will be I he only major street reaching entirely nerom (own indway b.-tween Stewart a v e n u e and Klevcnlh street. When eventually extended eastward it will cross South I'ark addition, Wli tman l'ark addition, and the Karhn.t tract, crossing Bear creek ami termlnat'ng in the Hear Creek parkway. Ar.iMiiatlvc Plans "It was originally planned to directly counsel Monroe street to the dead end of Dakota, avenue bv an extension passing through the northerly end of tin; si bool property. II has been found, however, that Hi' school board Is limited In ill' frontage on al dale avenue and that Ibis 1'"'" ,tlun wcujd s-ri'.ousl.v :int i' "ri' with the arrang -nt "I' the buildings as planned, so two 1 lerual .i schemes have been con sidered. "Scheme (' makes the shortest riiiI most direct connection be tween the two streets, but on the olh-r hand it Involves the pur chase of more property than scheme H. In either case. It Is our understanding that the school board Is willing to dedicate the pint of the nil-vet which passes through their pruperty. and will pav one-half the cost of ao.iuirmg the remainder. The merits of these schemes should be carefully weigh ed and the relative- co.-'tseoli-sidered. l nvor Si'lieinc "('." -In view of the probable l manence of these cunl emulated street Improvements and of the amount of money being Invested In permanent Improvements for school purposes at this time, the commission desires to particularly recommend scheme C as the mo acceptable. This scheme would nol onlv make the shortest and most direct connection between Monroe, and Dakota streets, but would probably penult a better nllgnment for the widening of Melrose street on account of the greater building area made avnil nble. Wo feel sure that in case the council gives this scheme, fa vorable consideration, that equitable arrangement could he arrived at with the school board for the consummation of thl project.
