He moved as an amendment—''That this meeting of householders instruct the iu comirjg Committee to approach the Education Board and request them to \ rocsed at once with the erection of a new school."' Mr Simon seconded the amendment. He quite endorsed the opinion expressed that the old buildings were unsuitable, and that a new school should be built. That should be the only issue. Mr D. Harris Hastings said that there could bo no two opinions about the resolution and amendment, but something should be dono at once, and he thought the Boird should be urged to add a new storey on the modern portion of the buildings. He had been assured by three members of the Education Board that they would support this. 'I he incoming Com mittee should demand a new school, and that in the meantime the new storey should be added and be part of the general plan. They had nothing to do with other school districts. lie knew that children attended the school from other districts, but that only went to show that the teaching at Albany street was excellent. —(Applause.) The Education Board should at once grant their request and spend a considerable sum on new buildings. There was a probability of the Pelichet Bay station being shifted, when there would be plenty of room for a new playground. Mr Simon thought a new school should be gone on with at once without asking for the new storey. Mr G. J. Anderson urged that one resolu tion should be carried unanimously. The Rev. A. B, Toni>, in order that there should be no division, advised Mr A. T. Ander son to accept Mr Richardson's amendment. Mr A. T. Anderson withdrew his resolution in favor of Mr Richardson's amendment, which, having thus become the substantive motion, was carried with enthusiasm. Mr Wait brought up the question of the addition to the gymnasium, remarking that the Board's architect had said that the addition would interfere with the stability of the build ings. He suggested that an outside architect's opinion on the question should be obtained by the incoming Committee, and moved —"That the incoming Committee be instructed to get an o'itside architect's opiui >n as to the stability of the building if th-.> proposed plans are carried out." Mr Simon seconded.
