DlON my hOCh, Jan. A. ne NEWS

hotel during the neXXt summer sea-
son.

a success as lessee of the hotel last

to whether he would bid for a lase
this coming season. Moreover, Mr..
Boyden was bidder for the hotel
property and is also owner of the
Blowing Rock hotel

operate the hotel himself or lease it
is not known here.
School Housed in New Building
Blowing Rock consolidated school
re-opened Monday in it's new building
with a substantial increase in en-
rollment, but with no equipment for
the building.
The new structure has seven class
rooms, without permanent desk in
them, a library room without a book
shelf and with very few books, lab
oratory rooms without enough test
tubes to go around to the science
classes, and an auditorium designed
to hold 500 people, but without a
seat in it.
Monday morning, in a temperature
of ten below zero. the high school
boys carried the old homemade
benches from the temporary quarters
10 the new building. and school was
turted almost without equipment but
with at least the comfort Of steam
heat.
Saturday afternoon at a meeting
of patrons Of the school, Mayor G..
NJ. Sudderh explained that the new
county finance act places limit on
the amount Of bonds that the county
can issue. and for that reason Blow
ing Rock cannot expect to get fur
niture for the building this year. He
held out the hope, however, that
some method would be found in the
near future to buy and pay for the
equipment.
G. C. Robbins, on behalf Of the
school board, expla.ned that the
board has already spent some $41,-
600 on the building and site and in
meeting other Obligations, and that
it cannot assume any further tinan-
cial burdens at this time.
Principal A. f. Mercer, on behalf
of the teachers, expressed apprecia-
ton of the teachers for the new
building, which although not so well
equipped as could be desired, is in
finitely more comfortable and con-
venlent than the quarters with which
the school has had to contend in the
past,
