At Last, At Last

At the meeting of the school board, last Thursday night, a resolution was adopted to the effect that Spier & Rohns be the architects for the proposed school building, provided they will furnish satisfactory plans and specificatiocs, as (uil as E. E. Myers & Son do, according to their printed articles of agreement, and to do al! they (Meyer & Son) agree to do by said articles of agreement, and will charge 3J per cent. commission on the contract price which is not to exceed $24,000. Spier & Rohn are further to agree to act as superintendents of the building and examine the work as the building progresses once or twice a week and when called for. They must guaraatee that if the school board build according to their plans and specification?, the building so built ehall come within $24,000, iccluding their commission, ventilation, heating apparatus, seating for hall and rooms ready to occupy for school purposes. At a meetiDg of the board last Friday evening Mr. Spier was present and accepted the resolution after the part relative to "heating apparatus" was changed to "eteam piping and conuections with the boiler now in the present high-school building." It was arranged that Mr. Spier make a ground plan arranging, for the use of Prof. Chute, for two rooms on the first floor of the east end of the new building, and two rooms in the basement, connecting the floor by stair-case?, and that the basement be from nine to ten feet in height sb may be found best to accommodate bis work. The new building as it will probably be constructed wili be a handsome building. A.n elevation of it is to be seen in Judge Harriman's office. It will stand fifteen teet north of the ugly-looking building which is now the high-school building, and the two will be conneoted by a glasscovered passage-way. It will be 70 feet wide and 114 feet long. The lower part will be of the boulders, and the upper half of cut gtone and briok. The hall will seat 1500 people. The northwest corner of the building will be used for the library. The architect will meet the school board today, and there is no reason for supposing that the arrangements will not be deflnitely made. Ann Arbor people may expect to see the work in progress scon
