Dover Votes SIS to 3S4 For
S250,000 Bond Issue to
Help Finance Building
WORKING OUT PLANS

With a vote of 578 to 384, cit
liens of the Dover Special School
District Thursday approved issu-
ance of $25O,00O in bonds to help
finance a S445,5 sol school building
and improvement program. The
program calls for the erection of
a new school building to relieve
the crowded conditions existing in
the present structure. Balance of
the money needed for the project,
representing As per cent of the to-
tai cost, will be supplied by a Pub
lie Works Administration grant
Members Of the election board
were Price Roe, M. Hayes Wilson,
George Ehinger, and "A. "A. Davis,
all Of Dover. Affecting the inter
ests of the town of Dover and out
lying areas, included in the school
district, the school project has held
the attention of the community for
weeks, interest in the proposal in
creasing daily as the bond issue
vote neared. A citizens committee,
headed by Mayor ]. Wallace Wood
ford, took a leading part in advo-
eating the project and in present
ing the information to the public.
The committee worked with the
Board of Education in planning the
new building and improvements
and in arranging for the refer
endum. The project, which was
designed with the advice and as
sistance of some of the leading
school building experts in the coun-
try, will include the construction of
a new building for the elementary
grades and a combined gymnas-
ium-auditorium, which also can be
used as a community hall; building
of a combined school and commun-
ity library in the high school build
ing; repairs and alterations to the
present building, and the furnish
ing and equipping of the new struc-
lures. One of the arguments cited
in favor of the program was the
crowded conditions at the present
building, which will be housing
about 1,10O pupils this year, when
600 is the normal capacity. How
the bond issue will affect the tax
rate is not known at this time, but
it has been estimated that the total
school levy will not exceed ten
cents on the $1OO of assessment.
This rate will decrease each year
as the bonds are paid off, it was
said.
