Thursday, April 19 in the
elementary school cafeteria
and all residents of the
district - are urged to
attend to seek further in-’
formation on the proposal.
The School Board began
studying the construction
program earlier this year
due to the overcrowded
conditions in Sanger schools.
The area is estimated to
continue growing at a rapid
pace, requiring additional
classroom facilities in the
future.
Architect Victor Gailier has
been given the go ahead to
continue final drafting on
owner met certain quali-
fications. The qualifications
are currently under fire in
the Legislature and another
bill has been introduced to
allow an even larger number
of exemptions should local
taxing agencies desire to
pass along the savings.
The council originally
turned down the proposal
due to the financial burden it
would place on the city
treasury.
A bond issue approved
recently was based on
current tax figures as well
as current utility fees.

It is an undisputed fact that
the responsibilities of to-
morrow’s world our nation
and community will rest
upon the shoulders of the
children of today. Since this
is true the publisher of this
newspaper would like to
give you a good look at these
future “World Builders.’’
The only way we can do
this is by publishing pictures
of them in a feature series.
To assure the latest and best
reproduction pictures they
must all be of uniform size
and quality.
An expert children’s photo-
grapher with all the
necessary equipment for
this specialized work will be
here Friday April 6th.
Pictures will be taken at
the Joe Ashcraft Garage
from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

plans for the new high
school, based on the
preliminary plans submit-
ted.
The plans will be drawn
through two phases of
grown - through 400 high
school students with the
second phase carrying the
district through 750 high
school students.
Phase I of the program will
also include an 80 x 80 foot
cafetorium at the elemen-
tary school where existing
facilities have been descri-
bed by school officials as
inadequate.
Preliminary plans for the
new high school were
approved in a special called
meeting earlier this month.
The ^proposed building
would contain approxi-
mately 55,000 square feet,
including a band hall,
gymnasium, welding shop,
vocational agriculture shop,
cafetorium, library and
science lab.
The bond issue will contain
only one proposition - for or
against the issuance of
bonds and levying taxes in
payment thereof.
The board set no fixed
amounts to spend for the
new high school,
acquisition of land
building site or
remodeling at the elemen-
tary school and the present
high school, which would be
turned into a middle school
for grades six through eight.
Although the board will
submit $1 million to the
voters, it is doubtful that
many bonds could be sold at
the present time. Almon has
estimated approximately
$750,000 could be sold at this
time, based on the district’s
current valuation total.
A public meeting on the
bond proposal will be held

The City Council reversed
itself Wednesday and voted
to grant a special tax
exemption on homesteads to

total taxes off the rolls.
Action on the proposal was .
again brought up Wednes-
day after a petition bearing
