PLANS FOR THE ECKINGTON SCHOOL Dullness Prevails in the Selling of Local Property. REVIEW OF CONDITIONS ——— The District Commissioners have ac- cepted the plans for the new school house on Quincy street, in West Eckington, which were prepered by Mr. Appleton P. Clark, ir., who was selected under the new policy recently adcpted by the Commissioners to employ lecal architects to make the de- signs of new municipal buildings instead of having them drawn up as heretofore in the cffice of inspector of buildings. Mr. Clark's plans call fer the construction of a building that would be an ornament to any section of any city, and the new depart- ure in.the architecture of municipal build- ings which has thus been inaugurated will doubtless be regarGed as a proper cause for congratulation on the part of all citi- zens. The lot to be occupied by the new building ‘s 150 by feet in dimensions, and the building itself will be 94 by 72 feet in size. The rest of the lot will be devoted to play grounds. It will be constructed of brick, stone and terra cotta, with a high pitched reof of tile. The front on Quincy reet will be imposing in an architectural sense, and its conception is chaste and ele- gant. The brcad double doored entrance will be planked on either side with brick paneling and terra cotta columns, and above it will be a beautifully ornamented terra cotta tablet, bearing the name of the school. Above this again will be a por- tico supported by four terra cotta columns. The brick arched wincews will have stone sills, and they have been designed with a keen view to affording abundant light to the inierior The Interior Arrangements. The building will be two stories and base- ment in height, and will be better arranged for school purposes than any structure in the District, and not surpassed anywhere for the convenience of its arrangement and the perfection of its heating and ventilat- ing appliznces. The basement will be de- voted to a toilet room fer the girls, 17 by 25 feet in dimensions, a toilet room for the bo: fect square, end play rooms for the boys and gir! pectively, each 34 by 25 feet i: area. The center of the base- ment will be occupied by a furnace and engine room, 38 by 16 feet in size, and in Various sect aratus for sup- plying fresh air and expelling the foul at- mosphere. Or entering the building at the first flcor there will be a wide corridor, with broad stairways extending to the base- ment and to the floor abeve. Beyond this will be a central hall, 38 feet 11 inches by 16 fe inches-in size. At either corr will be school rooms, two being 34 by t in dimensions and two 25 feet 6 inche: 2 feet in area. Contiguous to_each pair of rooms will be cloak rooms 17 feet by 6 in dimensions, as well as apartments for the teachers. he second floor wiil contain four school s ef the same dimensions as those e first floor. There will also be a ary of ample dimensions. The speci- fications which were prepared by Mr. Clark call for construction of the most modern character, and an equipment including the nic plumbing and a number of s to the perfect heating and ven- tilation of the entire buiicirg. “The spe fications have been printed and the proofs are now being corrected. They will be ready for distribution to the bidders early next week. Inquiry during the week among the men who are foremost in transacting the real estate business of the District developed the fact that affairs of this character arc in a state of calm. Despite the prevailing lassitude, however, there is no tendency developed toward ‘a diminution of confi- dence in approaching befter times. A well- known young man of ripe experience in local real estate aff: whose judgment is widely respected. voiced the feeling of the agents who believe in the solid rather than the sky-rocket system of looking at business and conducting it. : eal estate,” said he to The Star re- porter yesterday, “is one of the last things, if not the very last thing, to decline in value when depression settles on the coun- try, and is always the last thing to feel the good results of a general revival of business. I rever knew business in our line to be as dull as it is now, but I am confident that the winter and early spring will find activity returning and a steady snovement of a healthy sort. We are bound to feel the effects of the general improve- ment of busiress throughout the country, and I find this opinion is shared by every one I have talked with. “While [ was away on my vacation re- cently I saw a Baltimore trades paper. It contained the concensus of the replies re- ceived to a thousand inquiries propounded to conservative observers in all sections of the country. They were all to the same effect—that a very substantial improve- ment was evident in all lines of business: that mills were starting up, after pro- tracted idleness; manufactories were at work again, and that everywhere signs of an undeniable revival in trade were to be seen. Now, a paper of that sort can be al- ways depended on to give a calm and im- partial view of things as they are, and, irom my reading what I have described, I am certain that our line of business in this section will soon feel similar impetus.” While there is not much being done in the selling line, the activity in the renting of houses is unusually good, and all agents who cart leng lists of residences report that the demand by house hunters is steady and eager. Among the architects there is an increase of work, and many plans are being drawn which will doubtless take substantial shape either during the remainder of the open season or as soon as spring weather allows construction to be again undertaken.

As the 1st Battalion is made up of Central com- panies, the competition for the majority of that battalion is restricted to candidates from the Central Schocl. The majority of the 2d Battalion will lie between the. East- ern and Western schools.
