Mrs. E. E. Bngstrom, chairman of the Club committee working on the project, told the Couneil that the present school building was not only inadequate but unsanitary and also a fire trap. Mrs. Galiwas spoke interestingly for a new school. Lester Troast, of the architec- tural firm bearing his name, also called upon to speak, complimented the town on its progressiveness and |encouraged the movement for a school building. He suggested the appointment of a joint committee of the Council, Club, and Chamber of Commerce, to decide on the type of a building most suitable for the need of the town, as the first step. Mayor Goetz named for his com- mittee to work on the project of preparing the formal application A. J. Balog, Mark Jensen and Tom Cashen. Mr. Troast's assistance in| preparing plans and estimates to be ! included in the application was ask- | ed. Question was raised as to the ad- | four sess!

Elimination of two teachers allows a reduction of about $2,400, but additional ex- penses for new equipment take up the difference.
