§ MR. BRIDGEMANI beg to ask the President of the Board of Education whether the plans for building new schools with the assistance of the grant provided in the Appropriation Act, 1907, have been approved by the Board 1090 of Education before the preliminary inquiries have been completed.
§ MR. MCKENNAPlans for building new schools are submitted, considered, and approved in the ordinary course of office administration quite independently of the question of a building grant. The Board's approval of the plans does not in any way commit them to making a grant in aid of the cost of executing them.
