SELECTED SITE
BROWN BLOCK WITH THE ADDED
LOTS FOR HIGH SCHOOL
Plans Arc Adopted Unanimously and
VIII Advertise to See IL Build
ing Can Be Constructed

sideration for several months. They
provide for thoroly modern struc-
ture and with grading, sewer and
sidewalks already practically COM
plete the entire amount of the build
ing fund can be used for the struc-
ture The action was unanimous,
Engle Long Broughton, Tufts, Sni-
der and Wyandt voting aye.fxz
1t was also voted unanimously to
advertise for bids on the plans sub
mitted The bids will determine
whether the building as originally,
planned can be built within the funds
available. If it cannot, building will
probably be delayed. But reports are
that the contractors are less rushed
than few months ago and that it is
likely that no difficulty will be found
in securing reasonable bids.
The bids will be opened Oct. "a,
work to commence Dec 20, 1917, i'll
contract is let No action toward APP
praisal of site has yet been com
menced but it will be done later.
