WALLS
More Trouble With the
Lane School Site. '
Board Will Make Another Effort to
Locate a Solid Bottom.
It might bo thought that because
nothing special has been said for some
time about the instability of the
ground on vthlch (he new Lane school
is being built, the School Board had
succeeded in striking solid bottom,
and the troubles of the Board were over
for oil time in this regard, but it
seems that this is not the case, for
Mr. J. T. Flower mgde an announce
ment at a special meeting of the
Board called Tuesday rilght for that
purpose, which indicates a far differ
ent state of affairs. Anpther chapter in
the story of difficulties with which the
Board has been beset In the erection
of this building has been opened.
The wall at the southeast corner of
the building, now one nnd a half
stories high, has lately begun to bulge
alarming)- outward, indicating that
the foundation has been sinking or ex
hibiting a tendency to yield with the
ground beneath. Mr. Flower recom
mended that the wall be torn", down,
the foundation Te-cnforced and two
walls at this corner bo rebuilt. The
cost estimated Is at $1,300. It Is 'set
forth that it will be dangerous to go
further with the building without at
tending to this defect, as it might bo
a serious mennce to the lives of chil
dren, if the work were permitted to go
ahead.
Some of the members seemed skep
tical when it was said that the defect
could be remedied, at' a moderate cost,
arid l was suggested that a well drill
er be employed to sink a hole on the
spot and find out Just how deep it will

Architect F. O. Weary wns presetit
at the meeting, and he expressed the
opinion that tho wall can easily bo

Board voted to have the work done,"
Mr. Endrcs alone voting ."no." Ho:

this building, about which the Board
has already had so much trouble, 1m;
fore going nhcad with tho expendi
ture of additional money.
. When this lot was bought as a Slfo
for the new school, the opinion was
expressed, both outsldo and lc tho
Board; that the lot was no good. Holes
were dug and It was found that In
spots, at least, the ground wns under
laid by a rxat bed, and It was doubted
that a good foundation could be se
cured nt a reasonable cost. Finally
it was believed that a solid bottom ha'd
been reached, and Uie work of build
ing was pushed as rapidly as possible.
Now comes the new trouble, and somo
of the members of the Board are of
the opinion that the trouble and tho
expense have just begun. One man,
who undertook the work of laying a
sewer from the corner which has
sunk to a creek nearby for drain
age, has found that instead of having
a fall from the foundation walls to'
the creek, the fall is the other way,
and if the sewer is built, the water
,will run from the creek to the school
house instead of In the other direction,,
Other, cracks in the walls have been
noticed, but it is not believed that
they ore serious enough to require re
building, or any especial attention.
