 BAKERS REPORT
 The work at Palmer, Clay and Kim ,5riy has been completed in satisfac- ory manner and l recommend that these saildings be received. At Newhope we eiieve that certain repairs can be made nl the house made safe for the sum Of approximately 500. We recommend that ilis be done. provided the community FiH deed the property with two acres of md to the state. At Laceys Chapel. in lew of the increased enrolment, we rec smmend the addition of new room sep irate from the present building and to fc so constructed that it can at a later ais be used as a unit of d completed ja;lding
 II coiupdHy With the architect and assistant superintendent Erwin I visited 'hslkvilie and Center Point communi : les and held a meeting in each place is our recommendation that a new site selected somewhere between the two communities and a four-room building e constructed in such way as to take are Of the school demands of these two communities. We suggest that the in- terior be left incomplete at the present .ime to be finished later. Two sites arc 1ffered and we think that a commit ee of the board should visit these sites and determine upon tho exact location TRANSPORTATION BIDS
 Heretofore it has cost Sl0o per month 10 transport pupils from Pinson to the eounty high school.
