Fairfax County is ready to
advertise for the first four con-
struction bids in a $40 million
sewer expansion program.
The Board of County Super
visors yesterday authorized
County Executive c. C. Massey
to advertise projects as soon as
plans are ready.
Mr.. Massey said bids on the
first four projects, totaling $780,
900, should be received about
July %. He explained that they
would not be awarded. however,
until proceeds of the first $40
million worth of bonds are avail
able in mid-August.
The first four projects include
two sewer installations within

planned under a former bond
issue in that district. but never
completed. The others to be
advertised right away are the
6-mile Back Lick Run sewer
main to serve the Annandale
area and the Brilyn Park system.
Because the Back Lick Run
sewer will not be completed for
about 10 months. the super
visors agreed to build a tenn
porary septic tank system for

School Board originally planned

approved last fall.
The supervisors voted to eStab-
lish a new county division OF

the department of public works
headed by Mr.. Massey. and in
vited the School Board to have
all of its school bus and equip
ment repairs made by the new

LOCAL SCHOOL. BOARD SEEKS TERRITORY WIDE ASSOCIATION

School board members through out the territory were informed by letter this week that the Board ot Education, Palmer Independent School District, is interested in the formation of an association of Alaska school boards.
 The local board believe that the formation of such an asSocia- ton would be of value to all school boards in many ways.
 First, the letter states, the as- soclation could review such items as tax assessment and collection. capital outlays, budget relations with city administrations, general school administration and school improvement, By comparing sim liar experiences in these items the local board feels that each board would benefit.
 It would also be medium for providing information to Legisla- tors on items related to education. And 1t could be means by which close contact would be maintain ed between the Territorial Board ot Education, the Commissioner of Education and local school boards. This phase of the asso- ciation's activity, it is believed, could provide a flow of informa- ton and ideas both ways, result ing in a better curricula, and teaching method, geared to con- ditions in Alaska.
