c wo SNew Grade School iBuildings ' I ' HE city of McMinnville is going to have two new Grade School buildings. On Monday, March 18th, the taxpayers, by a vote of 426 to 257, approved the bond issue which provided for raising the funds for the two buildings. Acting upon the advice of the District Budget Committee, and the request of many representative citizens of the community, the School Board called a special meeting to vote on the proposition of bonding the district for $65,000. I he total cost of the buildings is not to exceed $100,000. Short term warrants will be issued for the necessary amount above the $65,000 bond issue. The plans for the buildings provide for eight standard class rooms, a library room, offices, teachers’ room, and an auditorium with a seating capacity of about four hundred, on the main floor of each building. A steam heating plant, a large fuel room and a well arranged lunch room will be provided in the basement of each building. The buildings will follow the same plan, though enough changes will be made to give each its own individuality. Contracts for the wrecking of the old buildings will be let May 10th, and the buildings will be wrecked as soon as school is out. The contracts for the buildings will also be let during the last of May. It is expected that the buildings will be finished by time for school next fall. These two buildings have long been needed and will be fully appreciated by the school children and the community as a whole. Page 16
