WEST END SCHOOL.
GRANT OF £3OO. That a special grant of £3OO be made to enable certain work to be undertaken at the West End School was a decision made by the Wanganui Education Board this week. The work to lie undertaken, as recommended by the architect (Mr E. R. Hodge) is as follows: —(1) The direct access door from the assembly hall to be re-liung to open outwards, and provided with the necessary hooks and eyes to keep the door open; (2) an emergency exit to be built in the infant classroom, the door to open outwards; (3) the gable ends of the assembly hall to be removed and the roof hipped at the ends; (4) the pediments and parapets at the external gables to lie removed and reconstructed in wood frame, steeltex and plaster; the roofs to oversail and to be finished with barge and cover boards; (5) the belfry to be removed from the front of the building; (6) all chimneys to be reduced in height; (7) sufficient rods to be placed to tie the walls, which take the thrust of the roofs that are not tied at the allplate level.
