Superintendent W. L. Mc-
Partland said that the bonded
indebtedness of the district
will be down to $13.000 after
the final payment this year of
$37.000 on the buildings that
were destroyed by fire. He
also explained that the
proposed new construction,
as planned, will cost about $5
per $1.000 of valuation.
After Architect Bob Smith
showed building plans, how
that were arrived at. and
how costs were estimated,
the balance of the evening
was devoted to questions
from the audience.
Chairman Hartlev said that
it is very important that the
bond issue passes in Ja
nuary. and invited everyone
to participate in the discus
sion. He said that if there are
any parts of the building
program that people don't
like, the board should be told
before the bond issue is put
on the ballot.
The audience was told that
an insurance settlement is
expected soon, and that
every phase of the program
will be explained thoroughly
after final plans are prepared
for presentation to the public.
The most critical Questions
and amiments were leveled
at the proposed expenditure
of $6'.000 for the superin
tendent's office. Architect
Smith told the group that this
was put in by him and not the
board, but he felt it should be
considered in the overall
planning It was brought out
that these buildings are
being designed to meet the
needs of the district for many
years, and that the adminis
tration offices are badly
crowded in the bookkeeping,
reception and board meeting
spaces.
Questions generally were
constructive, with admoni
tions to the board to be
careful with the money.
Several people acknow edged
that while costs are high,
they will get higher, and
urged the board to get on
with the building of the
schools.
