Ottawa School Board Seeks Land For Future Grade School
The Ottawa school board opened legal steps to condemn a nine acre tract north of 15th and west of Willow for a future grade school site. The area lies in the I district but outside the city, largely pasture land with one horse barn owned by Lyle Fouts. The board seeks appraisers through District Court while awaiting a surplus car and continues driver education with limited resources. The district has about $44,000 in its building fund and plans to tour several new schools as it reviews architects for a proposed high school. Enrolment on opening day reached 2253, up five classes, with gains at Eugene Field and Hawthorne and a faculty described as excellent.
