Will Vote on New Gymnasium.

The WPA project for new Symna-
SUM to be built on the north side OF
the school building has been carefully
worked out by the school board with
the architect, Mr.. Blomholl of Duluth,
and will be presented to the voters
of the school district for confirmation
on December 90 at 8 o'clock at the
schOolhOuse.
The need of gymnasium has been
felt for some time and particularly
the past three years when no suitable
building has been available for bas-
ketball, and this WPA project will
meet this need and provide suitable
place for all school activities, such as
class plays, graduation programs and
also for public gatherings as well as
for the athletic program of the school.
The addition will include large stage
and dressing room for both boys and
girls as we'll as the gymnasium floor
and bleachers.
Since Minnesota has been allowed a
definite share of the money to be used
for WPA projects, it would seem ad-
visable for the taxpayers of this COM
munity to use their share at. home
and take advantage of this opportun-
ity to obtain this much needed build
ing at very small cost to the district.
1t will not be necessary to issue bonds
as there is sufficient money in the
treasury to pay the districts share OF
the expense.
