PROPOSE A BOND ISSUE
FOR SCHOOL BUILDINGS
Many More Rooms are Required to Accom-
modatc Increased Attendance-Want
$4,000 High School

After disposing Of routine bust
ness, the school board at an adjourn
ed meeting this morning took action
on the question Of additional school
buildings
According 10 the federal census,
the city OF chickasha contains about
2250 persons Of school age. With the
outside territory added to the district,
Supt. Stewart estimates that he school
population is increased to $500. Next
year school attendsuce of all children
between the ages Of eight and sixteen
will be compulsory. Mr.. Stewart is
Of the opinion It will require at least
forty teachers next year and this will
necessitate about twenty more school
rooms.
The Chickasha school district as
now established contains about SO sq.
miles and the territory added in-
creases the taxable property in it BY
approximately s750,oOo.
1t appears to be the unanimous op-
inion Of the board that bond cleo
tiOn for school building purposes
must be called. The amount requir-
ed and the kind Of buildings needed
were discussed at some length and it
was decided to appoint committee
to make detailed report on the mat
ter at another meeting to be held in
few days.
Scott Jones, one Of the members Of
the board, outlined his IDEAS to the
Express as follows eve need a new
high school building, costing at least
$4,000 IN addition to the cost Of tne
! grounds. Wings containing two
rooms can be added to each Of the
buildings nse9 for white pupils In
addition to the sur required for this
purpose, severaA thousand dollars is
needed for repairs on the old build
ings, for putting in sewer connection
