Ann Sommerer Attends Through FINAL DECISION EXPECTED AT MEETING MONDAY. 45 Per Cent Free Grant from PWA ■ - — HERMISTON TAKES THIRD $100,000 Saving. LEAGUE GAME OF SEASON. ------ ed-------- ********* + ------------ —e r Funds Encouraging in Whether the new 45 per cent free grant of PWA funds ottered by the president justifies tne authori zation ot a bond issue election tor a new hign school building, will be decided at tne regular board meet ing ot school district No.», Monday, June 10; held In the Hermiston high school. The information secured by A. — Smith, president ot the board, while in Portland last week will be pre sented at this meeting. Mr. Smith contacted the director ot state PWA tunds, and architects who have made illustrated drawings of the proposed high school building. “The cost ot the building com- píete,” Mr. Smith said, “will not be much over $70,000, but the govern- mont will give us a tree grant ot 46 per cent on most items, it we get the money under the PWA set-up. We will have 40 years in which to pay the money, with interest at 3 per cent. Unless the plans are changed this will include a central heating plant to heat both the old and new building. This will give us approximately $1375 principal and 11650 interest annually at the be- ginning with a decrease in interest. We have been paying approximately $1600 annually tor the use ot the present school building, theatre and auditorium, and 1 presume we will get an annual payment from dist rict No. 14 for heating its building. Our last levy for applying on our indebtedness was approximately $5000. It would seem that the neces sary levy will be less than it was last year.” It has also been pointed out that it will cost the Union high school district over $100,000 more to build, pay interest and pay off the bonds if construction is done under the regular old order. R. A. Brownson, clerk, says that the district is free of debt at this time. . , A fine illustrated drawing of the proposed high school building, fur nished by architects Tourtellotte & Hummill of Portland, has been on display in the Herald office window this week, creating much interest and attention. The same illustration with description and dimensions of the building appears elsewhere on this page. The public is invited to attend the school board meeting Monday when .he final decision is expected to be made.
