BOARD SAYS IT HAS NOT DETERMINED - MINED ON PLAN. MEETS WITH CONFLICTING IDEAS Representative of John Latenser of Omaha , Claimed to be Able School Architect , Is Here East Wall Has Fallen to the Ground , [ From Monday's Dally. ] Members of the board ol education at the conclusion of tholr meeting yes terday authorized The News to pub lish the following paragraph as repre senting their statement to the people of the Norfolk cchool district at this tlmo : That In all matters pertaining to the rebuilding of n high school building the board Is actuated only by the com mon Interest of the school district. That In any nctlon they may tnko they will try to best provide for the pres ent nnd future needs of the district | with an economical expenditure of money. That at this time the board has not committed Itself cither as to the rebuilding of the old building eras as to the erection of a new structure. That this action will not be taken un til the board has secured all of the facts touching the present condition of the walls standing and the compar ative cost of putting up a now econom ically-arranged building , of rebuilding from the old foundation and of re building with the use of part of the present walls. That the board has been confronted with conflicting state ments made by local builders nnd nrchltccts ns to the condition of the present walls nnd has made arrange ments to secure an immediate state ment , covering the whole situation , from Architect John Latenser , of Oma ha. That at this moment the board does not and can not know In what way the Interests of the school dis trict can be best and most economic ally served. OMAHA ARCHITECT TO REPORT Latenser Will Give His Opinions to k Board This Week. IPfSG. Salisbury of Omaha , represent- Mug John Latenser of 'Omnhn , who it is claimed Is the foremost architect of school buildings in the west , wns In Norfolk Saturday evening and Sunday morning inspected the burnt high school building at the instance of the school board , who had requested Mr. Latenser to send a representative to Norfolk. Mr. Salisbury , who Is"a re tired contractor , visited the high school building Sunday morning and discussed the situation with members of the board. He did not'make a pub lic statement but will report his find ings to Mr. Latenser , who will send a written report which should reach the board by next Wednesday. Information Wanted. The Information which the members of the school board expect to obtain from Mr. Lntenser's report may be summed up In the following questions : What Is the condition of the present building as It stands ? What would be the cost of erecting a colonial style building about the size of the present building ? What salvage from the old building could be applied to the con struction of such a building ? It Is claimed for n colonial style building that 1 affords much more tloor space and can be more econom ically built than a building with an irregular outline. At the same time It could be constructed along modern lines advanced in the last fifteen or twenty years. It Is also claimed that the lighting , heating and ventilating problems could be more easily met in putting up n new building. The ques tion that is nskcd Is , can such a build ing , equally presentable to the eye , be built for nearly the same price that the old building can be rebuilt ? Those who think that the question can be answered in the affirmative say that no small part of the cost of the old building Is represented In Its tower nnd numerous angles. On the other hand against such an answer has been urged the valuable salvage represent ed In the foundation nnd standing walls of the old building. The special meeting of the board was held Saturday evening at the of fice of Mapes & Hazen , All members were present save Secretary Matrau , who had been absent from the city. Mr. Stltt's Statement. Architect J. 0. Stltt of Norfolk , who designed the old high school building , was present at the meeting at the re quest of the board. Mr. Stltt had ex amined the building and at the request of the board made a statement as to its condition. He said that the foun dation and all exterior walls standing of the first story were perfectly safe , In fact were In good condition. These walls are sixteen Inches thick. A portion of the second story walls he thought were safe , but as a margin for safety they might be taken off , The value of the salvage standing was considerable but if the material was- taken down he said the value would greatly dwindle. Mr. Stltt Informed the board that the high tower on the old building was not in a safe condition. The up per portion should bo removed. He also advised the board to have the rub blsh about the building cleaned \u and ns much salvage saved as pos dole. The board voted to follow oul his suggestions in both Instances. The big chimney still standing will also b ( I taken down nt once. The board ad journed to meet Sunday morning with Latonsor'a representative at the high school building. Members of the board state that A. Morrison , M. L. Ogdcn nnd John B. Herman , Norfolk building contractors , l.uvo examined the high school buildIng - Ing and claim that the old walls can uot bo used above the foundation. Also that II. H. Reynolds , a Norfolk mason and1 contractor , supports the statement of Mr. Stltt. J. P. Elsen- trnut , n Sioux City architect , when In Norfolk last week declared the stand ing walls unsafe. EAST WALL FALLS IN. Stiff Breeze Lays Low One Side of Remains No One Hurt. The east wall of the cast wing of the high school building fell before a stiff breeze yesterday noon , adding an exclamation point to the objections ut tered by those opposed to utilizing the old walls in rebuilding the high school. The wall fell forward to the east at 1:20 : p. m. , at a tlmo when two or three children were playing near the building. No damage to surrounding property resulted. Dr. P. H. Salter , a member of the board of education , nnd C. P. Parish , republican nominee for the board , had stood under the wall not twenty min utes before It fell. Both had been making a careful Inspection of the building and were forced to shudder at the narrow margin of their escape. The east wall was taken down by reason of nn unprotected gable stand ing exposed to the strong south wind. J. C. Stltt passed by the building short ly after the wall went down. He said that bare walls did not offer great re- rlstanco to the wind and that unbraced walls in now buildings were liable to go down before a strong wind. Mr. Stltt had previously pronounced the tower In the building unsafe and ho said yesterday that the gable in the west wing might topple over If the wind continued. Members of the board of education stationed a special policeman at the school to warn the public away from the building. While the spectacular effect of the falling wall Is pretty sure to be a fac tor of influence In the situation , com petent authorities state that the mere fact that the wall fell before a strong wind does not bear one way or the other on the strength of the standing walls. It Is" said that the same thing would have occurred If the roof and floors of the building had been care fully removed without a fire. The leverage that the wind has on a bare wall Is great. In this connection Mr. Stltt advises the board to have the upper portion of the building removed at once If the lower walls arc to bo saved. A strong wind In the right di rection will take down the west gable , carrying a considerable part of the lower wall with it , as was the case j esterday. MRS. MOUNT DOING WELL. Friends Are Very Hopeful for Recov ery From Operation. Mrs. E. O. Mount was operated on for appendicitis Friday afternoon , standing the shock of the operation well. The operation , which was per formed by Dr. P. H. Salter , Dr. A. Bear and Dr. Walter Pllger , was de termined on Thursday evening ns af fording the greater chances for recov ery. Mrs. Mount passed the night nicely , her condition being quite en couraging Saturday morning. Unless complications set in , Mrs. Mount's chances of recovery were pronounced good. During the day Mrs. Mount's condi tion continued satisfactory nnd her friends nre very hopeful for her re covery. BOARD MEMBERS DID NOT SIGN Article Crlt.clsing Norfolk Public , > -n Local Weekly , Uninspired. [ From Monday's Dally. ] Members of the board of education have called the attention of The News to an article appearing in a local week ly which , at first glance , appears to bo signed by the six members of the school board.
