Levy defeats prompt additions to Blenman and Government Heights schools
Robert D. Morrow reported surveys show rapid growth in Blenman area at Country Club road and Elm street and in Government Heights. The board cut about $2,000 from the school budget after denying two ten‑cent levies. A ten‑cent levy would have funded pay as you go building to avoid future bond issues, while new class rooms cost more if added later. Plans reduce sizes of Jefferson Park and Blenman schools and convert the Country Club and Grant roads auditorium into a community room with a larger auditorium to follow.
