School Building Ideas Discussed (Continued from Page 1) bond tax In lone has expired; a county road tax has expired; and the special school levy will expire In 1963, he pointed out He com that the school building committee had recognized that an additional building is nec essary In lleppner. Plans to use the present high school In addition to the ele mentary school for the grade school program wf X "o It was atressed that the two -hnnia will take care of the grade school needs for the present population. Ed Dlok, Jr., member of the district school board, said that It had always been the plan of the board to build a new high school at lleppner as soon as tne four year serial levy runs out in 1963, This program Is nothing new, only the timing Is stepped up," he said. He stressed that the school district board will not present a plan for building at the present time but "would be very receptive to such a sug gestion." Mr. Dick indicated that while the PTA discussion centered on the building needs of Heppner, other communities also had building problems which the board had under consideration, the 4-year serial levy would take care of some of these but not all would be solved without ad ditional financing. "We have a Eood nospuai in our county, good roads, and most everything else is In pretty good sh Anderson saic. I think - . . . ! ...
