Real izing that an addition would have, to be 'builtf bo-sthc former chofl building, local authorities, in February, 1935 brought the proposed issue to the voters of the city in a special election to f.eterfniho if the necessary bopds could be sold. In the election residents signifipd by a large majority that thoy v cro heartily in- favor, of the addition, and bonds to the- extent of $30,000 were then sold, this sum . t being the amount that vras called for in the drawings by the architect, i • ' , ‘ • , 1 » • • i • Host unfortunately, however, difficulties were encountered as soon as bids'were-called Due to errors in the original drawings, the lowest bid submitted was for approximately $46,000, whereas the original sum voted was for only $30,000; Faced with this problem, local authorities were uneble to continue with the plans. They wore givep their -choice of doing two things, either calling for another bond election, or else applying to the Fodoral Government for aid through the Public Yi'orks Administration. They selected the latter -course, •• ’ . The application for aid was first sent in early in tho spring. No definite action scorned to be given tho application, although everything possible wc.c done to that end. 0n September 11, word was received that tho. project had been rejected by Harry L, Hopkins, fodoral director of the FV A, With that report, Rushfordites.practically throw away their last hope that any fbdoral aid v;ould bo given, I ’ ' . However, not daunted by this report, the Board of Education continued thoir efforts fop official sanction Thus, after months of delay, reports of refusal, and other expressions to the effect that' federal aid would not ho given to this city in tho construction of the proposed school addition, residents of Rushford wero surprised t9 extreme limits when word v.cJ? passed about that the Federal Government hud upproved the project and that fund3 amounting to $ 25,950 would be immediately allocated to this city.
