distance their students must
travel to various high schools.
When the accounts and bud
gets were audited, it was found
that forming a union district
would cost taxpayers no more
than the present school support.
The new union high school dis
trict has been paying 45 per
cent of the non-high total while
furnishing only 35 per cent of
the .pupils.
The proposed site for the high
school is a 13 acre tract located
in a point formed by Market
and Bpones Ferry roads. The site
is located halfway between Os
wego and Lake Grove.
At present the high school
committee feels that 20 acres
will be necessary for the high
school, Plans are to have a six-
year union high school. A bond
election will be held later.
Mr. Tunnell, of West Linn
High, says that the new high
school will eliminate approxi
mately 150 students from the
West Linn’ student body.
