.. w- . . . Regular Meeting S u m m e rs id e Town‘ Council

(Special to the Guardian)

The question of the enlargement of the Summerside High School was brought up at the regular meeting of the Town Council held last night, Mayor Manson presld. ins. Couns. Schurman, Grady, Kelly and Phillips being present. Coun. Schurms-n wok exception to the report by the Pioneer Publishing Co. that at recent meetin, of tha school board, to which mem- bers of the Town Council were in- vited, that the council were all in favour of an extension of the pres- Int building. Conn. Schurman wished the public to know that he was in favor of a separate building and the following letter read by him at the council meeting gave his reasons.

To- His Worship, the Mayor and Town Councillors, Town of Sum- mcrside.

A report of s joint meeting of

the School ‘Trustees and members of the Town Council has been pub- lislled in a recent issue of the Pioneer newspaper, and it would appear by this report that all the members of the council present had expressed their unanimous approv- Si. I want to take this opportunity, as one of the members of the coun- cil board present at that meeting, c! making some corrections in con- nection with this report. I, along with three other members of the Council Board, was invited by His Worship the Mayor to attend this joint meeting and after the plans were gone over by the different members of each board the chair- man called on me first for an ex- pression of opinion as to whether this annex should be built on the West or East side of the present building, and without knowing the attitude of either the School or Council Board. l immediately ad- vised that I was opposed to build- ing on either side. and at the same time giving my reasons, some of which are as follows: '

Firstl-Summerside can boast of having the finest and largest school grounds in the province, if not in the Marltimes, having a total area of two whole blocks. 1n addition to this there is a strip of land run- ning along the entire length of these blocks twenty feet wide, which can easily be secured, and with all these advantages, why should we extend the present fin- ished and completed building, whom we have ample land that can be used for a separate building?

Secondz-Some fifteen years ago the Town of Summerslde required more school accommodations. At that time our High School building was not up to standard for a town the size of Summerside, consequent- ly an architect was engaged, plans were made, twenty-three thousand dollars were spent for the remod- elling of this present building, but noiprovisions were made at that time for a further enlargement. This building is complete in itself. Why disturb its present artistic ap- pearance when we have abundance of ground space, and can build a separate building Just as cheaply, and not be compelled to tear down and make unnecessary changes in order that the rooms might be properly lighted, for which you get no real value.

Thlrd:—’I'his proposed addition provides for seven class roolns, but In carrying out the plan as pre- sented one class room in the pres- mt building is lost on account of the lighting problem, In other words we are only really getting aix rooms. The School Board is asking for $25,000, which means that each room is costing over $4,000. would lt not be wise before spending such a large amount of money to go slowly, having in mind not only the present, but the future, bear- ing in mind also that in the fif- teen short years, since the addition was built on the school, that is still ‘ adequate for our present needs.

Fourth:-—Should we not try to benefit by the expcrence of other places? Prince of Wales College was burned down a few months "o, This was quite a serious loss to the Province. Should we lose our bulll-llng in a similar manner, the Pl-ovlrlce would not be puyins for it, but the Town of Summerside only. If we had a separate bulldinl. surely we could save one in case of fire, and if so, we would not be completely out of business. An eight room separate building, with the first floor finished this year. and the second floor finished later, when needed, would app"? W 5° a reasonable proposition. and when the chairman of the 5¢h00l B0!“ called for a vote, two councillors voted foruan extension. w‘! W" voted for a separate bulldinl-

than that whatever plans are de- cided upon. I shall do all in m! power to help carry them to a suc- cessful completion.

His letter was received and filed. the motion being seconded by Coun. Phillips. Coun. Schurman‘ further expresed the opinion that the school board might well take pupils from outlying districts for the

they now take the children of Wil- mot Valley. 1t would be at no extra expense to the town and the extra money received from such pupils would materially help out expenses.

At the opening of the meeting the minutes of the last regular meeting and adjournments of same, besides a special meeting, were read and adopted. The foUow- ing bills were passed. Town paid bills amounting to ‘$1,315.50, unpaid bills $460.04, electric light paid bills 8016.50, unpaid bills 6868.97. A peti- tion from the residents on Argyle Street was read asking that an old disused building on the south side be removed as it is a nuisance and

fire menace, as it ls frequented by _

loafers. A committee of Conn. Phillips and Grady were ppoiuted to attend to the matter. A letter was read from T. D. Morrison in connection with the work on Gran- ville Street and was received and filed. Reports of the different oom- mittees were recived. Conn. Grady reported for the street committee and presented a. motion that street work be more equally divided, workmen being given two days a piece. Motion passed unanimous- ly. Police report, fines collected $194.28, five prohibition cases, one dismissed, 17 convictions, for drunkenness and several other min- or offenses. A motion was passed appointing F. J. E. Wright, return- ing officer, L. A. Moore, poll clerk and John J. Arsenault door keep- er, in the forthcoming civic elec- tion for the central ward to fill the vacancy made by the resigns- ilon of Coun. Strong.

Claims Estdte Of Mad Trapper

(Canadian Press)

EDMONTON, June iii-The 811m trasfld! in the Arctic regions last spring which cost the lives of three persons and the wounding of a fourth was recalled in Supreme Court Chambers today when an

plication for letters of admin- istration of the estate of Albert Johnson, former Rat River trapper. was made by Russell Spears.

Johnson met his death at the hands of a posse of Royal Can- adian Mounted Pollce officers and private citizens after one of the most sensational manhunts in the history of the far north.

Appllca" | is made on behalf of Elbert Owan, public administrator for the North West Territories. The amount involved is $2.637.

Mrs. Myrtle Marie Stephen, of Calgary, has claimed the estate, al- leging she is the lawful widow of the deceased. She alleges that Stephen, not Johnson, was the rightful name of the dead trapper.

A resolution to purchase gravel at a price not exceeding $2.25 per ton delivered, was passed. Mr. John Smallman was reappointed trustee of Summerslde High School. Meet- ing adjourned until Junc 27th. S.

MANITOBA

(Continued from Page i)

Manitoba, predicted today followers of Lieut-Col. P‘. G. Taylor would win from 30 to 35 rural seats. He had previously forecast that, six of Winnipeg's i0 seats would be filled by Conservatives. In the last House conservatives held 15 seats.

"The feeling throughout the province is that the Bracken Gov- ernment must go before Manitoba has a chance to come back," Dr. Hodgscm said.

On the other hand Liberal-Pro- gressive leaders believe rural Manl- toba will stand behind the coalition Ministry as solidly as it did when the Progressives were swept back into power for a second term in 1927. Progressives held 29 seats in the last House and Liberals five.

Council to commence forthwith s policy of necessary street repair in order that some relietmay be af- forded to unemployed and needy workmen in the city. The petition was signed by a large number of prominent business firms and in- dividuals. ,

In the discussion which followed, coun. Real-don said the programme of concrete repair work, prepared by the Surveyor and submitted by him at the last monthly meeting, had been turned down. This involv- ed an expenditure of 018,835, and as the amount was not provided in the estimates the committee ‘could not go ahead with the work. Per- sonally he believed something should be done, considering the un- employment situation and the fact that such work could be started immediately if the authorisation were given. He also introduced the question of street sweepers‘ wages.

Coun. Kennedy approved of the suggestion for street repair work. but pointed out that if the estim-' ates were exceeded in this repect the Finance Committee should notl be held responsible.

After further discussion it was suggested by Coun. Trainer that $6,000, available under the estim-i ates for permanent repair work,’ should be utilised.
