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.
