Annexed Property
To Be Assessed
hundreds of staunch al¬ umni were loath to credit the news, figures made public by the heads show that the old military academy could not be longer con¬ tinued, unless a large fund cf ready cash eoald be made avail¬ able at once. The debt shadow¬ ing the historic old school is above
haps anotlier $ loir.ooo. In con¬ trast to the fact th tt hundreds of blunmi and others are now bewail¬ ing the matter of the school's closing looms tbe other significant fact that in a quiet drive made two years ago for funds only 99.- OOO could be raised. Faced with a flnancial crisis tiie school's dir¬ ectors took the only means of re- ' lievlng the school of its debts and saving a still larger li-jhiiity. The I academy had heen operated for I some time at a steadily mounting deficit and the board members felt that ft) continue under the circumstances would be ruinous.

This plan was pretty thoro- l.\ aired lioth as to route the Stato wants to build and tht? dd or pro- sent route via Race Street. Upon motion and roll call vote It was decided that Council recommend the building of the road over pre- sint route. Tho vole was 4 to 1 ill favor. Tbo reasons advancel for declaring in favor ot tbis route were less property damages, more property holders beneflted nnd the elimination of possibility )f having another grade crossing over L. & N. K. R. R. and an additional bridge over tho Manocacy creek. The State's plan would undoubted¬ ly be a stralghter line, bnt ironld also leave some dead ends and would give one more road for fut¬ ure malntenaoce.     . ^
