Two petitions will go to the Board of Education over the site for the new South Side primary. One favors South Market State street land for a larger yard and lower costs, while the Minnesota street option is seen as insufficiently large despite an existing option. The board appears likely to favor the State street location, though opponents argue it is too isolated for patrons. The Commercial Health Association reports 150 new applications this year as A. J. Alwin resigns as traveling salesman to focus on promoting the group.
