Plans For New Eastern High School Spark Controversy
Snowden Ashford accuses District commissioners of delay in emergency school building program. He says the municipal architect’s office kept its force busy all summer revising plans for the Eastern High School, delaying nine other projects while private architects handled them. If Congress funds for a tubercular school and Hamilton replacement had been used earlier, the new Eastern High School could have been ready by January 1922. District officials say the tubercular school will not be ready until next September.
