WRIGHT SCHOOL BONDS
ARE TO BE RETIRED

The Hancock board of education
held it's regular meeting for the month
of April last evening and transacted
the usual amount of routine business,
besides taking action on several mat
ters bearing upon the proposed new
high school and commencement ar
rangements.
The treasury Of the school district
was reported TO be in such excellent
shape that it was decided to at once
retire the bonds issued for the con-
struction of the f.. l.. Wright school.

ers on up-to-date architecture ar

toned have been inspected the mem
bers of the board think they will have
a pretty good idea OF what is suited

of a site was discussed but no an
nouncement has been made of any ex-
pressed preference for any particular
location. Some incline to the opinion
that centrally located site. not too
far from the heart of the city would
be desirable, as the boys of the city
would then take more interest in the
gymnasium features and make more
general use of them evenings than II
the building should be placed too far
