Kcizer School Area Slates
School Bond Election Soon
Keizer. Aug. 1 Directors of Keizer school district No. 88, Mar
ion county, have posted notices of a school election for August
10, at which time the voters will be asked to approve a bond issue
in the amount of $48,000. Revenue from the sale of the bonds,
if approved, will be used for the purpose of either moving and
enlarging the old original school
building, or for constructing ad
ditional classrooms on the new
building.
An architect has been engaged
to prepare prelimniary sketches
and cost estimates for the two
alternate plans, one of which
would involve moving the old
school building fro mils present
location inside the U formed by
the new building to a new loca
tion north of the play shed and
behind the Grange hall.
The building would then be
raised and four classrooms con
structed on the ground floor
level which would give the
building a total of eight rooms
including the four on the second
floor which are now in use.
New plumbing would be in
stalled and heating would be
provided by moving the present
plant to the new location or by
connecting with the large steam
boiler installed last year in the
new school building. The alter
nate plan would entail construc
tion of four or five new stand
ard classrooms adjoining the
auditorium on the back and to
the west.
While the directors admit that
new rooms on the first floor
level of the old building will be
smaller than standard size, it is
felt that the school plant will be
vastly improved by removal of
the old school house to a new lo
cation. Although this building is 30
odd years old, it is still struc
turally sound, and the board
members are of the opinion that
it is of too great value to tear
down even though it may be
possible in a few years to con
struct additional buildings for1
classroom use. It is believed that
the old building removed to a
new location and reconstructed
as planned, will provide satis
factory classrooms for the next
two or three years, and will have
a future utilitarian value for a
number of years for such pur
poses as a music room, kitchen
and cafeteria, etc.
Removal of the old building
to a new location will also per
mit finishing one classroom and
a library room in the back of
Capital Journal, Salem, Ore., Monday, August 1, 1949 7
the new building, which could
not be completed earlier because
of the proximity of the old struc
ture. The directors also point out
that the new school building has
practically reached what is con
sidered to be a maximum desir
able size, as completion of the
one classroom and library will
make a total of IS classrooms, an
auditorium with a seating ca
pacity of between 400 and 500,
a kitchen, supply room, princi
pal's office, health room, teach
ers' room, and the library.
Board members are of the
opinion that additional construc
tion of a new building as build
ings should not be undertaken
on the present site, and in any
event can not be considered at
this time, because the district
can not exceed the legal limita
tion on its bonded indebtedness.
The bond election will be held
from 2 to 8 p.m.. Pacific Stand
ard Time in the Keizer school
auditorium.
