Duront's S~chooIhouse

The long cherished dream Of a new school building
for Durant may at last be realized.
The bill submitted to the Legislature by Represen-
tatives WYNN. Bacon and McNeer has been passed by
both houses and received the approval OF the Governor
The bill allows the city of Durant to float $55,ooo IN
bonds to raise the money necessary to match FUNDS OF
the Public Works Administration to erect the buliding.
II was necessary for this bill to be passed because Du-
rant already has the bonded indebtedness allowed by
law.
It now remains for the Mayor and Board OF Al
dermen to call an election to approve the bond issue
for the purpose mentioned. We understand petitions
with the necessary number Of signatures of qualified
voters to call an election will be presented Tuesday
night at the next meeting of the Board. 1t is certain
the Board will then call an election as soon as possible
by law.
: We believe every qualified voter in Durant should
and will go to the polls and approve this bond issue.
Many of these voters went to school in the present
building. a building that was condemned then. 1t
is even more antiquated now.
Durant wants it's young people to have the prlv-
lege of a modern education with every advantage pos
sible in order to help them grow into useful and help
full citizens.
The new school building will help realize that
ambition.
