BOARD RESOLUTION
PAVES Way FOR
STATE SCHOOL AID
Action Makes 1t Possible to Par
ticipate in $40 Million Fund Set
Up By State For Construction

Up by OIdle TUT OOItSII uCllOu
A formal resolution authorizing
application to the State Board of Edu-
cation and the Board of Public Works
for financial assistance for construct
ing the new Oakland High school
building and the new high school in
the northern end of the county, as
provided in section SOP of the acts of
the General Assembly of Maryland,
1949 session, was passed by the Board
of County Commissioners at its meet
ing this week.
The resolution was presented by
j. Edward Helbig, president of the
Board, and was passed unanimously;
Jonas w. Sines and Stewart F. Stahl
both agreeing.
The resolution was passed in pur-
suance of provisions of the act which
provides for the method by which fl
nancial aid for construction of school
buildings and public school facilities
and purchase of public school lands
is to be afforded to each of the
counties of the state.
The resolution declares it is the
desire of the commissioners to par
ticipate in financial assistance which
is provided and they resolve that
$555, O59.65 of the proceeds from the
sale of bonds be allocated to building
the new high school to serve the Oak
land area, and that the further sum
of $S4,19O.35 be allocated out Of cur
rent funds toward the costs of cree
ton of said building.
They further resolved that $780,
259.65 be allocated to the building Of
a new high school to serve the north
ern section of the county and that a
further sum of $84, 190.35 be allocated
out of the current funds toward cost
of erection of said building.
Authorizes Debt
Chapter SOP, it is learned from the
1949 manual, authorizes the creation
of a state debt of $40 million dollars,
to be used to supplement financing Of
construction of public school build
ings and public school facilities and
acquisition of real estate.
One section of the law reads that
"the grant to be absolute, there be-
ing no obligation on the part of the
counties"
1t declares in another portion Of
the act that the funds are to be al
located on a matching basis, Limited
to an amount equal to $4,000 times
the number of pupils enrolled" Under
the figures released last week by R.
Bowen Hardesty, county superintend-
ent of schools there are SOL pupils
enrolled. At $50 per pupil this would
amount to a grant from the state of
$3O4,26O.
The act specified that in order to
participate proper application must
be made, which is listed as the reason
the Commissioners presented and
passed the above resolution.
Other Business
At the regular meeting this week
the commissioners also asked for
bids for the painting of the Jail and
sheriff's residence, the bids to be re-
turnable October 4 at 10 a. m.
Commissioners agreed to sell coal
property assessed to Cutchall and

Baumgartner, precinct A, and For
rest Mumma, precinct d. There is
no committeeman at present In
precinct B, because of the death

letter of withdrawal had been sent
to the county central committee, to

publican committee to wait until
after the deadline for independent
