Mr DEUY COSTLY TO IL IP PURCHASING POWER OF DOLLAR SHRINKS 41 PER CENT ING STATE CONTROVERSY PORT DODOS LOSES $200,000 IN RETURNS Quarrel Over For $660,000 Sohool at Fort Dodge Delaya Letting of Contract WHila Prieaa of Material and Labor Go Plana Modified and Changad. 'Fort Dodge, Sopt. C. A. Helaell, of the following publication: "Mr.

"William Ittner, of St. Louis, the architect with whom Messrs. Damon and O'Meara are associated in the building of the new high school, was in Port Dodge on Monday and Tuesday of this week. JJchool patrons may be lateral ted In learning of his report on the plana for the new achool. "When Mr.

Ittner waa employed, ahortly after the bonds were voted, ho 'twas Informed of the amount of money that would be available and returned to St. Louis to prepare preliminary the school board, gave Sketchce. These sketches he brought with him and presented to the board at a meeting on evening of this week. "Air. ittner states that the money to toe realized from the sale of the bonds has a purchasing value of not to exceed 60 per cent of such value at the time the bonds ware sold.

To state the matter bluntly, the delay In locating the high school and getting the building started resulted in the losa to the achool district of 41 per cant of 1650.000, or This la not mere guess work or an opinion on the part of Mr. Ittner. He let contract tor the construction of high achool buildings shortly before the Fort Dodge bond election and has done so at frequent Intervals since then. The average cost per cubic foot has increased from 16 cents to -30 cents. "The result is this: It Is necessary to very materially cut down the plans for the building.

It will be Impossible to construct a high achool that will accommodate 1,200 pupils, A large part of two wlnga have been cut oft, and the entire building materially reduced. It may be necessary to eliminate one gymnasium and the swimming pool. Twelve class rooms will have to be abandoned and every economy practiced if It la expected to construct the building at present prices. "It may not be out of place to point out that the appeal taken from the decision of the board was not taken until after the expiration of twenty-nine days after the board's decision. In other words, those taking the appeal to the county superintendent waited until the last possible moment to serve notice.

After the decision of the county superintendent the appellants again waited until tha last day to serve notice of appeal, thus wasting another thirty days, or sixty days in all, resulting from the delay in serving notices. The public can scarcely he expected to believe that they are acting In good faith when, as every one knows, these notices of appeal could have been prepared In fifteen mlut.es time and served within half an hour. "Those who object to the Lincoln site have advanced the argument that it is too costly. The delay which they have willfully caused has resulted in a loss to the school district in an amount approximately twice the amount of the Lincoln site. If a suitable site were pectaacy of seventy-flve more for the the present time, the delay caused by the appellants has resulted in a loss twice as large as the saving which would result from obtaining a free site.

"There are at present 536 high school students enrolled, with a probable expectancy of ceventy-fle more for the aeoond semester. This means mora than 600 pupils In a building equipped for 320. It has become necessary for the board to rent rooms In the Wahkonsa annex building for its offices. The basements of all the grade schools are used for class rooms. Every room In every school in the city, except one room at the Hawley school on Round Prairie, is full to capacity, and there are fifty pupils in a great many rooms which were planned for thirty-five."
