Martin stalled the Board together to meet the In- spector. Dr. Waugh asked the Board what they- intended to do with regard to the school building, ase in his open- ion it , was in a very unsat is actors condition with regard . to shape and arrangement of the rooms, the .heat- ing the lack of basement, and partic- alarly the lighting. He stated that had he the power he certainly ,:ould not recommend tile payment of the usual grants if the building were ro remain in its present condition. The Board ther showed him the proposed changes as outlined in- a sketch plan furnished by Are'hitect Nutter of London whereby the arrangement of the rooms, .the lighting and heating wculd be greatly improved, and a basement be secured. _ Dr. Waugh, was very favorably impressed with. the provisions of the new plan • and asked that it be sent to the depart ment for approval before work was commenced. He also advised an ear- ly commencement and 'completion of, the work as it was urgently` needed, ,'The plan as submitted provides for the- • leaving of ,the east, north and south walls as they are, with the ex- ceptions that certain windows would be closed and others made larger; the centre of the west wall would be brought farther west, allowing for a suitable entrance, a teachers room, improved stairways, and en additional upper room; two hallways willbe made from front to rear of the build, ing and. -.the north and south rooms, both lower and upper, will beincreas ed insize by the removal of the cloaks rooms and then divided into two rooms each, thus making a ten class- room building with a larger assembly hall A basement Will be made under the whole centre of the building, foi the furnaces and other conveniences. The proposed changes have long been recognized as necessary by those who have made themselves acquainted with the existing ,conditions at the school and the Board is very, pleased that the present building lends itself so readily to the improvements,which it is estimated will cost from $10,000 to $12000 whereas a new school would cost from $30,000 to. $35,000,' CHURCH BASEBALL LEAGUE, ....�.
