The buildings (former school
plant) have been idle for nearly
two years last year the buildings
were practically stripped of
all furnishings and the same were
transferred to Red Lake agency.
Over JDWO years ago the school gas
plant exploded and wrecked sev
eral of the work shops and store
bouses besides doing considerable
damage to other buildings. No
step has ever been taken to repair
the wrecked buildings and to-day
rain and snow drift in the broken
windows and the utter ruin of the
damaged building is bat a matter
of limited time most of the
window panes in some of the
buildings, especially the fine
modern barn, have been broken,
in fact the buildings are fast going
to wreck and ruin, the prey of the
elements and vandalism. And it
seems like the height of folly that
such desirable property should be
permitted to decay and remain
idle just because some contrary
"opinion" advances elusive objec
tions in the premises.
At the present time there are
several abondoned school plants on
the White Earth reservation.
