PLANG ARE DRAWN FOR NEW SCHOOL

PROVIDES FOR ADDPITION TO SCHOOL BUILDING 70x116 FEET TWO STORIES IN HEIGHT :

Auditorium and Gymnasium On Ground Floor With Seating Capa- ' city of Over 1,000 ;

Royal L. Simmons a noted architect of Elkhart has drawn plans for an addifion to the Ligonier high school building and will submit them to the school board and Chamber of Commerce committee this afternoon.

" The plans call for a brick building two stories in height 70x116 feet.. The ground floor will be made into an auditorium and gymnasium with a seating capacity of more’ than 1,000 eople. : The floor will be supplied '&ith a large stage that when occasjon demands will seat over 300, .

It is the purpose to construct an auditorium sufficiently large to agc: commodate all assemblages for years to come including the chautaugua. The second floor of the new addition will be converted into ten class or recitation rooms something- badly needed by the schools at the present time. . S : 3

. .The plans provide for an entrace to the auditorium on a level with the ground there being no steps to interfere. ' : e

It is believed the plans will be ap proved. :

The city may be legally bonded up to the amount of $70,000 for the improvement but it is not the purpose of the school board to expend the full amount on the new building there be.ing a feeling that an emergency might arise which would call for an expenditure of $5,000 or $lO,OOO. All the particulars of the progress thus far made will be made by the committee appointed to investigate and recommend to the Chamber ol Commerce at its regular meeting next Wednesday noon at Hotel Ligonier.

TO SAFEGUARD LIFE

Some Laws Regulating Free Trimming at Street and Road Inter- . sections Pointed Out :

With the vernal season already well “in our midst” again has come the time of year to make real efforts to-: ward safeguarding the Public highways in every way possible, according to a safety bulletin®just issued by the Hoosier State Auto Association.

“Motorists get heavy footed when it comes to stepping on the gas aleng about this time o’ year” safs the Hoosier association. “With the roads getting in fine shape the invitation to speed is often times too much of a temptation. With the rapid growtn too, of foliage along he roadsides and particularly at highway interections, drivers are gquite apt to run into numerous blind corners which are fraught

with potentials of injury and even death. _ . - “Of course the safe rule is to be cautious but there is ample relief in the matter of legislation to make country road inters&ciiois an even city and town intersection as free ‘as possible from being obscured by trees, foliage, hedges and the like. The Indiana live fence law should not be utilized. This fequires the trimming of hedges and foliage to a maximum height of five feet above the crown of the adjacent highway at ali intersections. The enforcement of this law is in the hands of county and township road officials and there is a penalty provided for these officials who fail or neglect to perform such duties. Prof)erty owners must trim up when notified and failure means either a penalty or the work to be done by the township or county and charged on the tax books against thep roperty. We believe that all right thinking property owners will take steps to clear up blind corners without waiting for officials notice to do so but we hope the officials also will not be lax.”

Still Another Name.

Writing from Aberdeen, Washington Mrs. Ella: K. McNeill formerly Ella Kinnison says the Banner is a welcome visitor twice weekly though she has not lived in Ligonier for near ly twenty years. , - She ;says: “I note that the name Peacock Alley has been suggested as a substitute for Main street in the old town. With all dué .respect for the gentleman’s taste who made the suggestion, I believe I have’' a better name to submit, ‘Woodland Drive’ more beautiful and more appropriate”r - il _

ANOTHER INDUSTRY ~ FOR COMMUNITY

GRAVEL AND WASHING PLANT TO BE ESTABLISHED ON WILLIAM FRANCISCO FARM

Milford Firm to Take Over Land and - Employ One Hundred Men After Improvements Are Made -

This community will have unless negotiations fail, a new industry which will give employment to 100 men and bring wealth into Ligonier. ~ Milford parties are closing a deal whereby they will come into possession of the William Francisco farm just east of Ligonier. 5 . Investigation discloses that the 100 acres is a veritable gravel bed of the finest quality and taht it will prove a gold mine to the owners when properly worked. S ' Just at this time the demand for washed gravel for' road construction work is very great, in fact much greater“than can be supplied which means that the new gravel company will have no difficulty in disposing of its output at a good price.

. During the negotiations the Kosciusko county men sunk four wells in different places on the farm and in all sections found a. bed of gravel which seems inexhaustible. = = °

. A right of way on an adjacent farm hzi_é" been secured to give an opening for a'side track from the New York Central lines to the pits, making shipmeént of gravel by the car load on easy matter: & szt ‘

The washing plant will be operated by electricity procured from what is known as the Hawks line just south and east of Oak Park cemetery. ~ When the works are in full operation housuing quarters will be in big demand for the workmen, many of whom will no doubt reside in Ligenier and make the trips out and in in motor buses. s 7

Ligonier is the natural base of living supplies for these men and their residence in the community will medn much for the merchants and business men of this city. : :

SUPT. CRAIG RECEIVES CALL

Highly - Probable That Head of Ligenier Schools Will Take Like ~ Position in Columbia CUwy

. Supt. 0. M. Craig for the past three years at the head of the Ligonier schools has received an invitation to become superintendent of the schools at Columbia City and may accept. While Mr. Craig’s contract with the Ligonier school hoard does mnot expire for another two years it is likely he can secure his release as there is no disposition to hold him back from a position in a larger city with, a much greater salary although patrons of the school here will relinquish him with much reluctance. W During the administration of Supt. Craig the schools of this city have been raised to a high standard ana for this accomplishment he is given full credit. o e ;

If the change takes place ‘it is unfortunate for educational affairs in Ligonier, for Supt. Craig has not only been deeply devoted to his school work but has taken an active part in all civic' movements looking to the advancement of the city. = Mrs. Craig has also shared in these worthy enterprises and has endeared herself to the community. ' . Editor Williamson of the Columbia City Messenger a member -of the school board of his home town was in thec ity today exerting his influence in inducing Mr. Craig to make the change but with what result was not learned. el by )
