School bond issue to be voted on Monday
The Board of Education asks voters to approve a $50,000 national funds issue to complete the new high school. Higher material costs have raised total costs by about $20,000 since the bond was authorized. Even so, officials expect savings through remodeling and expect old building upgrades to cost far less than initial estimates. The election is scheduled for Monday from 1 to 7 PM at the old Methodist church.
