The city seeks authorization from the 1927 legislature to issue bonds for Bassick Junior High School construction under the 6-3-3 education plan.

The administration hopes for additional sewer and pavement bonds in forthcoming sessions, while the school board has already acquired the site and awaits legislative action.
