Draper School
Start Put Off
By Street Work
Riecks Sees Opening
Possible by Week
From Next Monday

The new Draper Elementary
School won't be able to open
next week. as school officials had
hoped it would. Associate Supt.
John M. Riecks said today.
Mr.. Riecks blamed tardy wa
ter, sewer and street-surfacing
work for the delay. The new
building is ready, but furniture
can't be moved in because the
streets outside are torn up, he
said.
Ahead Of Schedule.
Draper is at Ninth street and
Wahler place Sc. When it
opens, part-time classes for 800
children will be ended at Simon
School, and builders have been
rushing to get the school ready
as quickly as possible. Compile
tion of the building actually is a
month ahead of schedule.
Next Monday had been sched-
uled for a Board of Education
inspection and officials had hoped
to move more than 500 children
in Tuesday. Mr.. Riecks said
this morning, however. that the
earliest the school now can be
opened will be week from next
Monday and he said that isn't
certain.
A month ago a spokesman for
the District Sanitation Division
said water and sewer lines were
finished and shortly afterward,
Highway Director John N. Rob-
ertSon ordered his men to make
a rush job out of Surfacing the
streets, which are brand-neW.
Gravel Surface Planned.
1t turned out that sewer and
water work actually wasn't COM
plete. spokesman admitted this
morning. 1t probably won't be
until Monday, he said. Highway
officials couldn't be reached i'm
mediately to find out whether
they will be able to get the sur
facing done next week.
Only gravel surface is to be
put on at the start, but this
would be enough to give mudless
access to the school.
