An election to decide for OF
against bonding the district for
$4,000 and to choose four members
of the building commission, was
held at the school house on Satur-
day and resulted in the selection of
B. Frank Carey, Joseph NJ. Lank,
Elmer Dickerson and Robert d. Lin
go, and the approval of the bond is-
sue. This commission will work in
conjunction with the State Board of
Education in the selection of site
and plans for the erection of the
building. The new school building
will cost approximately $250,000. of
this amount the State will pay $225,-
600, the district $25,000. The State
will take up the bonds at maturity
and all the district is called upon to
do is pay the interest on the $4,000
worth of bonds. The building will be
of modern construction and equip
ment, with about twenty-five rooms.
Milton has long needed modern
school building, for years having
been OvercrOwded i'll the school
building to such an extent that
other buildings have been pressed
into use. This arrangement has not
been at all satisfactory. Several
outlying districts have consolidated
with the Milton district and it has
become imperative that an adequate
building be provided. The present
board of education, headed by w. H.
Welch, president, have worked hard
to get Milton a new school building
and deserve the cOmmendation and
thanks of every citizen of the COM
munity.
