Dillon High School Work Begins With Foundation Repairs
Work started on the free county high school building in Dillon with stonemasons erecting walls to floor joists before suspensions for foundation corrections. Piers must be widened, rubble facing added, and a supervising architect from Butte approves the strengthened structure. The trustees also plan a Dillon farmers and stockmen meeting for mutual protection, featuring Professor Shaw on grains and grasses. J M Conway brings saddle horses for British orders as the basketball team heads to Butte for a return game with visiting young women. A two story brick fireproof block is planned for the old M E parsonage site, with two stores on the lower floor and 20 offices above.
