A charge of Issuing a non-suf-
ficient funds check against Chris
Frank Hickman, 33. of 1)67 SK
Main St., wa dismissed by Dis
trict Juuge Gerald R. Hayes Wed
ncsday, following a preliminary
hearing.
The charge stemmed from a
check issued by Hickman to C.
D. Albright, partner with Ed
Moore and Paul Ryan, owners of
the Timber Room. The check on
the First National Bank of Ely.
Nev., for $100, waa not honored
and waa returned, according to
Albright who testified at the hear
ing. The check was for lease of
the Timber Room premises.
Judge Hayes in issuing his de
cision stated that he "believed a
crime had been committed" but
that he "reluctantly" finda there
was not sufficient evidence pre
sented that fraud, as alleged, was
intended. He said there was no
evidence offered aa to why the
check was not honored and as to
why it was returned.
A second NSF check charge
brought by an employe, Eunice
Harms, against Hickman as op
erator of the Timber drill was dis
missed previously. Trial had been
achrdulrd for Monday.

it can make decisions concerning

thorized the administrative staff
to determine tha best method of
conducting the censua. Thert waa
general agreement the census

Money la Leaned
Deller told the board a housing
and finance agency of the fed
eral government loans interest
free money to school units for the
purpose of financing architectural
services on school facility propo
sals. He urged the board to con
sider this possibility.
There ia no obligation to start
repayment until a project ia ac
tually started. Participating in
such a program, he pointed out,
would expedite preliminary plan
ning of the district's needs and
require no early outlay of funds
by tha district.
School Board members discussed
the district's building needs at
length. Dr. Nela Lindell sail! he
felt the board needs mora infor
mation concerning the actual
building problems of tha district
before it " Jumps into a proposi
tion of borrowing from the gov
ernment." "We also need to know exactly
where we want tha improve
menta," he added.
Committee To Meet
Dr. Verner Anderson, School
Board member who is also a
member of the citizen school Sites
Committee, said he thought it was
possible hit committee could meet
within the next week to consider
the site location matter and the
type of ImprovemenU needed.
Dr. Anderson said he believes
one of the district's most critical
problems ia the high school audi
torium which is no longer ade
quate for the use it is intended.
It was suggested that this facility
might be converted and remodel
ed to provide additional classroom
space at the high school. Dr. An
derson said studies of the School
Site Committee have also indica
ted there ia need for two rooms
