School Title Proposal To Be Heard April 19
An effort to place immediate title to Sioux Army Depot property in state hands for a trade school was delayed as state officials spent the day on elementary school rules. Cecil E. Stanley says the board will reconvene April 19 to hear his plan, with title likely transferred by October. The federal government would lease the depot until June 1967, making the state the owner and the feds the tenant in effect. Stanley expects acceptance to avoid costly use permits. Local sentiment supports title by October.
