The school board may place a yes no levy ballot on the spring election without petitions, avoiding the usual 20 percent owner signatures for bonds. The meeting noted the district has 374000 in bonds and 48563 in the sinking fund. eight classrooms could be rebuilt for about 140900 with a direct levy. Mrs. I P Oke led the gathering as PT A sponsor and urged timely action. The article notes local shifts in population and references charitable giving in Butte.
