The Gas company is now digging up the streets, but they are going at it like winter was just around the c>»mer did it ever leave until this week? They dig. lay the pipe and cov er it up, pave the strip and are on their way before sidewalk superintendents hardly have time to give them advice. When digging up the intersec tion of First and Wall streets, they ran into an old concrete block which Pink Mason said he believed was th«- location of a valve for the old Hammond Mill water supply line Too bad it counldn't have beer, a king size septic tank so the sewerage wouldn't have to run into the river Some day maybe this too, can he corrected. The city is making rapid advancements In modernization, so probably the sewer system will be next in line.

To Make Full Building Use Tile zone map on page one of The Enterprise thia week in dicates the attendance areas authorized by the Board of Di rectors for tlic 19(>3-<>4 school year, «aid Administrator Wil liam Lewellen Tuesday. Such a zoning will give us maximum use of all available elementary classrooms in the district he said. It further permits a de sirable and economical teacher pupil ratio. He continued. "It is worth noting that this arrange ment will permit us to teach a greater number of students than were enrolled last year, using one and poaslbly two less teachers. Should anticipated en rollment figures materialize, this plan will not require us to have any split or dual class rooms in the district. One teach er for each grade represents a sizable educatkmal advance ment for our district.” "Con siderable side benefits will re sult from this plan," Ix’wcllen said, "namely: I. A suitable dining area will be available for use by the Mill City Ele- mentary cafeteria: 2. the in creased student load at Gates will permit a much more eco nomical cafeteria operation than is possible at present; 3. Instrumental and vocal music program will realize a sizable boost by luiving all 6th. 7th and 8th grade students at one loca tion; 4, duplication of trans portation routes will he elim inated and it Is reasonable to expect that we will he in a po sition to retire one or possibly two vehicles from active serv ice. This factor alone will re present a substantial saving to the school district." Mr. Lewellen said "it goes without saying, that no plan can be all things to all people. A great deal of study has gone into the plan herein detailed and it was selected on the basis of Its all-around merit to the school district, as a whole. Detailed information regarding transportation routes, location of bus stops and schedules will be made available In the near future. As has been noted pre viously, there are bound to be inconveniences when a plan such as this is instituted; how ever, it is our sincere feeling that the advantages to the edu cational program and to the district will far out-weigh the disadvantages incurred."
