Architects Discussed The board considered propos ed contracts offered by Archi tects Don Erickson of Spokane and Bob Smith of Ontario for long range planning of building and remodeling needs in the district. Purpose would be to find out the feasibility of remodeling buildings currently not up to state standards, determining what the life expectancy would be. whether replacing the struc tures would be necessary with in a short period despite remod eling and therefore possibly making it uneconomical to re model, and planning a course for the future. Erickson offered a contract of $7,300 for a study of the dis trict s needs, and Smith offered a contract of $500 for a 3-year period, contingent on being re tained if a bond Issue were passed for building. If it were not. he would be retained for another three years for $300, al so anticipating a building pro gram within that time. It was pointed out at the meeting that the district does not have $7300 budgeted for this purpose. The proposed con tracts were submitted to Attor ney Bob Abrams for study.

Turner, Van Marter and Bryant are Insuring agents for the district and take 40 of the commission. The remaining 60 is shared among other full time Insurance agents of the county, currently C, A. Ruggles Agency and Charles O'Connor. Mrs. Kilkenny, pointing out that she Is now a full time agent for Farm Bureau Insurance, asked to be considered for a share of the school Insurance commission. However, the question was posed that It Is understood only Farm Bureau members are eli gible for the insurance she of fers, and the district Is not a member of the Bureau. Thus, the board is unsure as to wheth er it would be legal or proper for her to share In the commis sion, representing a firm that may not be able to do business with the district. The request was tabled until more information Is obtained.
