"The growth of our school population

rapid that a number OF our schools
houses are now over crowded and IN
adequate for present needs. The condi-
ton OF business throughout. this valley
and the immediate vicinity indicates a
continued influx OF people; this. to-
gether with the normal increase IN
school population, VIII require more
commodious buildings.
"The area comprising Union has 3of
children OF school age and only four
class rooms accessible; South jordan
1el children and three lass rooms; san
dy 5T3 children and eight class rooms;
Highland Boy 70 children and one room.
The rooms at Union, South Jordan, and
Highland Boy have served their time.
Most Of them were built years ago.
They are poorly lighted, insufficiently
ventilated and improperly heated. Riv'
erton requires an economical and con-
venlent heating plant.
