The estimates we requested were $150,000 for the building and $14,000 for furnish- ings and equipment and as far as I can see that is very plain, open and above board. We are not expected to call for money that is to be spent next year. The blame for the delay in the build- ing of this school rests with the council and the public. “As far as the site of the school is concerned that is decided and the council cannot usurp the powers of the school board, What we apne here to do is to discuss the financial phase of the ques- tion. The method of raising the money, however, is a problem for the city council.” Considerable heated lion between Alderman Perry and Mr. Patmore then took place as to the joint meeting. Government Ald. Mr. Patmore explained that a generous grant from the govern ment was expected in the esti- mates: The mayor asked him what was going to be done with all this money. Mr. Patmore an- swered that any that was left over would be used towards im- proving grounds and forming a fund for other expenses. The meeting then adjourned for about half an hour when the building plans were studied. On resuming, the mayor stated that the present plan was not the best in his mind. “There should be some change in the School Law. As there was no play basemen! he felt that some provision should be made for play sheds in the Brounds, The School Act shevld be amended to cover the entire cost at one time so that the pub- conversa- now.” It was practically decided to} without further frietion.

LONDON, March 13.—Earl Curzon’s speech on the Turkish |problem made in the House of Lords yesterday and other official ‘and unofficial statements on the subject are generally regarded )as showing that the near East tangle is quite serious and is caus- ling the authorities some anxiety, an anxiely increased by com- | plications threatened in connection with Syria and Mesopotamia.

Thé suggestion of the elmployment of force against Tur- key might excite general peril in the Mussulman world and is re- gaided as one that cannot be safely ignored.
