Proposed Fund for High School
Building

1t seems the town of Belfast has
raised by popular subscription $780,
900 for new high school building
Forty thousand dollars of this was a
gift of one person conditioned on
raising a similar sum through other
donations.
Could Skowhegan follow the same
plan? This matter has been a sub
ject of discussion and there are con-
siderable number of citizens who
would be glad to contribute in sub
stantial way to a fund of this char
acter.
Who will be the citizen to distin-
guish himself or herself by starting
this project with subscription OF
$4,000 or more? OF course any dona-
ton of this character could be pledg-
ed conditional upon the raising OF
some stated amount
