When aaked about the proposition
that he might dispose of the island
to the city for a park. Fred Waiters
refused to Mate either that he is wil
ling to sell, or how much he would
take for the property. He in fact
expresses reluctance about selling at
any figure, fearing that the proxim
ity of the race and the presence of
the wing dam across the upper ent
would eventuaUr lead te complica
tion that woald be unfjleaaant, if
nothing more.
He admits that the Island could be
made a very pie ant place by the

today starting the preliminaries for
the erection of the new school house
at that place. C. E. Troutman was
chosen to draw up the plana, which
will be submitted for bid In a
short time.
The new building I to cost 12500.
be one story In height and consist of
two rooms and hold from 90 to 100
pupil comfortably. It will be frame,
and the intention i to have It com
pleted by the first of January. It Is
pjtanned to be more than an ordi
nary good looking building.
Beside the two large school rooms,
there will be a smaller room for li
brary purposes. The nucleus of a. li
brary' waa laid last year and the in
tention Is to add to it this year very
materially.
The old school house, with an at
tendance of between 60 and 7s, is
badly overcrowded, yet not all the
children of school age are In school.
The new building I planned and
will be built so that a heating plant
can be added at a minimum expense
for excavating and other necessary
alterations, at any time in the future
that It may be thought best to add
one to the equipment. 1
