e = Sarvey o Hoover, May Continue for Three Months | ] New Committee Expects to - Viait Each of 21 School Housss to . Determine City’s Needs. T A second survey of school ac- commodations begun yesterday by a committee under the chairmanship of former Mayor George A. Quig- | ley is expected to threc months to complete and postpone action on additional Senior High school facilities for a corresponding period. Chairman Quigley, work of the committee, cxpressed a bellef that even a louger perid than that mentioned may be nee He recommended that a thorough survey be taken, with cach of the 21 schoolhouses in the city being visited and inspected, and that & school census be taken. At his s gestion, the committee Will es! lish offices in city hall and will ask the board of education for statisti- eal evidence of the need for greater tacilities. Musg Study Elementary Schools Commenting on the building pro- gram, the former mayor expresscd a’ view that it was impossible to know exactly what the Junior High and Senior High school needs will be until the survey of clementary school accommodations has been completed, or in other words for three months at least. Mr. Quigley made an oral report on the findings of the group which was in charge of the Scnior High school survey. He cxpressed regret that Jt ‘'was not possible to duvote more time to the inguiry. Virtually the only mention of the proposed addition was by Mayor Paonessa, who eriticized the auditorium of 2,- 000 seating capacity which is pro- posed. Fred M. Hollfelder, new nembers of the committee, asked if it was possible for the school board to procecd with a high * achool building without sanction of the general government and he was informed that it was not. Favors Experts’ Cooperation Finance Commissioner I, C. Kelly favored engaging expert advice in the laquiry and he asked the mayor if 1t was possible to obtain an ap- prepriation for this purpose, but the mayor was of the opinion that this could not be done. Be¢hool finances and the need for additions in the elementary system were discussed ot length, bringing out the fact that about $1,000,000 must be made available for schools other than junior high and senior high within a few years. Comparisons were made between munieipal and private school costs, the elaim being made that the Sacred Heart parochial school which cost $150.000, offers nearly the same facilities, a8 does the proposcd high school addition, which would cost $600,000, ex-Mayor Quigley said. “For $600,000 we should get a big school and a good one, not an an- require one of the nex to another school,” Secrctary 1I. P. Bmith interjected. Will Inspect Schools After a general discussion, it was veted .to inspect one school Friday, September 14, at 1 p. m. One afte neon wil be devoted to each build- ing. Meanwhile the officc in City sl will be fitted out. Present at yesterday’s meeting be- #ldes Mayor Paonessa, Chairman Quigley and Secretary Smith, were the fellowing committee members: Franels C.
