5(H00l''BoND ISSUE OVER BY BIG MAJORITY

The additional wing to Juneaus school was assured by big maj ority with results of yesterdays school bond election Tn the. city out of 472 ballots cast, 395 were affirmative and IT against; in Aux Bay, with 32 ballots cast 21 were for and II against.
 This means that bond issue of $200,000 will be floated to give ..H1 new school, to be constructed al
 Eth and Glacier Way. cafeteria, teachers room, office with vault to store school records. storage room. rifle range and added play space. It is estimated that the ad- iitional tobacco tax, passed by the last legislature, will take care of payments to retire the Lends.
 Of the original money raised for the school, $750,O00, cost of the site, preparing the ground and archi- tect's fees amounted to S150,000 The lowest bid on construction was $743,657, so an alternate bid of S578,294 was accepted, which ex- cluded the cafeteria wing. At a meeting of the school board, the S200,000 bond election was decided upon in view of the fact that con- struction of the added wing would be less expensive to, build at the time the school construction was being carried out and because of the higher tobacco tax, it would work no hardship on the taxpayers
 One-half of the cost of the school was to have been forthcom- ing in Federal funds through the General Services Administration, but due to Federal retrenchment, this was withdrawn.
 The voters, by overwhelming majority, gave their approval m yesterdays election, to the $200,000 additional bonds. p@ipe nt
