and suggested that the board
employ financial advisers to
handle the details of a bond
program.
Proposed classroom additions
include two at Travis and
Douglas, three at Houston, and
four at the high school.
The proposed auditorium
would face Bell Street and be
located west of the present
building. The administration
building would be a part of
the auditorium joined by a cor-
ridor, but each independently
air-conditioned. Estimated cost
ment, the maximum issue could
be $734,000, Gibson said.
While the increase in tax
rates to care for retirement of
the bonds can not be estab-
lished until the size of the
issue and the term of the obli-
gations are determined, hoard
members have indicated that a
26-ccnt per $100 assessed valu-
ation hike would be sufficient.
Other business at the meet-
rag, attended by all of the
trustees, was rather limited.
Thomas Payne appeared he -
fore the board to obtain a
correction on a tax error, und
a $5 monthly increase was vot-
ed to the schol bus drivers. At
the same time, the hoard re-
vised driver requirements.
Gibson reported that the
school buses were in good
shupe. He suggested that the
transportation committee make
a survey to determine if any
new purchase* should be made
for next year.

When diplomatic relations are
broken, diplomats can remain
