Fort Worth, Texas, June 6, 1903.

The Hon. Mayor and Council,
Fort Worth, Texas.

Gentlemen:

The Hon. Board of Trustees at their meeting on the Fourth of June
voted to add two rooms to the Ninth Ward School. We hereby second the
vote and respectfully ask you to make provisions for the immediate construc-
tion of the rooms, in consideration of the following facts:

1. This year the Ninth Ward School was overcrowded; over twenty
pupils had to be transferred to other schools; thirty five had to be put
in a rented room five blocks from the main building, from under the
supervision of the principal; and a large number had to remain out of
school because of the lack of room. The first grade was still crowded.

2. The new census shows an increase of forty pupils over last
year's census, making easily one hundred pupils, whom the Ninth Ward
building cannot accommodate next year.

3. As compared with the other wards, the Ninth Ward building has
fewer rooms than any, - six rooms.

4. But as compared with the other wards, it has more pupils than
the First Ward, more pupils than the Second Ward, as many pupils as
the Third Ward, more pupils than the Fourth Ward, and more pupils than
the Eighth Ward. The figures are, First Ward, 414: Second ward 452:
Third Ward, 468; Fourth Ward, 449; Eighth Ward, 394; and the Ninth Ward,
468.

5. We believe that you will provide for the immediate construc-
tion of the two new rooms.

Respectfully,

C. W. Cartovitz
