LIGHTS FOR
SCHOOL GROUND
Contract Awarded for Light
ing Athletic Field to Iron
Front Hardware Store
CALL FOR ALL BONDS

At the regular monthly meeting
of the Board of Education, DR.. C.
u. Prickett, president, presiding
and all members present, the
Board awarded the con. ract for
the lighting of the athletic field to
the Iron Front Hardware and
Electrical Store. Bids had been
previously requested after ade-
quate publicity and quotations
were received from six firms with
the low bidder being the Iron Front
Hardware and Electrical Store at
S4,053.43. The lighting of the field
will be a step in fulfilling an obli-
cation of the Board of Education
in connection with the recent
school referendum, at which time
the Board obligated to light and
bleacher the athletic field. A con-
tract for supplying three sets OF
bleachers, seating approximately
IT'S persons, has been awarded to
the Wayne Iron Works, Wayne,
Pennsylvania.
Ready for First Game
Although the bonds authorized
by the last referendum have not as
yet been sold, it was the feeling
of the Board of Education that the
lights and bleachers should be
made available as soon as possible
for the use of the school and COM
munity. It is expected that the
lights and bleachers will be ready
for the first home football game.
In commenting upon this project
and the dispatch with which the
Board has moved in completing it,
Superintendent George w. Wright
said yesterday, "our field is being
lighted for football and softball,
and I hope that with the coming OF
spring the community will be
thinking in terms of a softball
league and will make full use Of
this investment"
Call For All Bonds
The Board of Education at this
meeting also authorized the calling
lof all outstanding bonds of the dis
trict to be paid on December IS,
1850. This action is also in keep
ing with the details of the previous
referendum whereby all present IN
debtedness is to be liquidated and
the issuing of new bonds will find
the district free Of any previous
debts.
