PLANNED BY BOARD

sium Building To Be Submitted
To Voters at coming Eelecaon

Much popular interest has been dis
PLAYED In the plan of the Board OF Edu-
cation to submit 10 the voters at the
coming election. a proposal to Issue
bonds for the construction OF a new
building to he used for gymnasium and
auditorium purposes, and from the
sentiment being expressed In the city
there is little doubt that a bond issue
for this purpose will be ratified by
large majority Of the voters
This city has no auditorium available
for school purposes with the exception
Of the various churches and this condi-
ton acts to handicap tho schools In the
presentation OF many exercises for the
public. The school Is also seriously
handicapped by the lack OF gFmna-
SUM. especially for the development OF
basketball teams and the school teams
were compelled 10 secure the Armonry
hall at Martins Ferry last year for that
purpose That building has DOW been
converted into n garage and sales room
thus eliminating II as possible place
for basketball.
All Of those interested In the PUBIC
school system feel that unless adequate
facilities in the way OF both auditorium
and gymnasium are provided locally,
the schools Of the city will suffer and
many Of the students OF this city and
Brookside will attend school in other
cities where better facilities are pro-
vided as aids TO getting an education
There Is no doubt in the minds Of many
local voters that the bonds will be rati-
fled when presented to the voters
