School Board approves accelerated building program plan
The Board of Education met at the office Monday afternoon and decided to proceed with the building program funded by a $1,500,000 bond issue. Superintendent Shelton urged immediate action to lock in lower costs, proposing a ten room building on Western Heights, an annex to the Sixth Street technical building with a gym, and additions to Vicasent D and the Westside buildings. Architect Ralph Sisben was employed to draft plans for Western Heights, the annex, and the school yard. Shelton stated the Garford building addition was nearly finished and ready for Easter opening.

No Funds For The Indigent In This City
Rotherdon of Associated Charities told the city council that the group has no funds to aid the poor within Elyria. A new law blocks township funds from aiding outside boundaries, leaving eight local families without assistance. The association relies on private donations and seeks a temporary plan to cover needs until a 1921 budget invoice can be arranged. The finance committee will seek immediate funding to sustain charity work during the short term. Various organizations may assist those in distress as weather allows.

Depot Street Name Change and Widening Plan
The city council may adopt a proposal by City Engineer Powell to widen Depot Street from East Avenue to East Bridge Street and pave it, correcting a half century misnaming. Depot Street is 60 feet wide, with 79 feet of frontage to East Avenue and only 20 feet beyond East Bridge Street, with local owners supporting a broader thoroughfare to improve traffic flow and connectivity with Bread Street and a possible new depot at East Avenue and Tinapot Street by the New York Central Railroad.

Claims Aliens Now Require Attention at Society Meeting
Lorain County Humane Agent L D Hamlin told society members at the annual meeting that the absence of the saloon has reduced the society’s work by about 75 percent. He noted there were formerly 1000 annual county cases and about 100 now in the past year, and that his office accomplished more than the county prosecutor with much lower operating costs. Mrs E Hague, secretary and treasurer, has been a member for eight years and attended with her husband, local druggist. Other members present included Chronicle Telegram Representative David Hamlin and Officer Jack Blow.
