bid.
Body for 66-passenger bus to
Columbia Body and Equipment
for a Thomas Safety Liner chas
sis, $4,093, second low bid. Low

ond low bid. The board again

proven in the transportation
system.

tional advisory study committee
to consider vocational curricu
lum and other matters in con
nection with the vocational pro
gram. On the committee are Gene

Wilson. Everett Kelthley, Randy
Lott, Joel Engleman, David Mc-
Leod. Gene Orwick. William
Rill. Ron Currin, John Wood, Le-

Bruce Malcom.
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.
Insurance Poses Question
Request of Vesta Kilkenny to
share in commissions on the
school's Insurance posed a ques
tion that the board was unable
to answer. Under the present
plan. 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.

by the board to renovate the
electrical system at Heppner El
ementary school to eliminate a

informed him that the needed
changes could be made without
installing new wire. Another bid
on the lob, including new wir
ing, was $1276.

with action by the legislature
within the past few days, more
basic school support funds for
the district may be expected
during the coming year.
The board discussed a "sand
blow" problem at Riverside High
school and approved a commit
tee composed of Max Jones,
Jerry Peck, Dan Daltoso and
