Jonathan Alder Voters Working To Give Schools Aid
With $4,000 Bond Issue For Repairs and Additions

Voters in the Jonathan Alder
School District are stepping up
their efforts to pass bond issue
of S85, 900 when they go to the
polls at the November election.
And the annual cost to taxpayers
is scheduled to be less than five
cents per hundred dollars evalua-
ton.
The funds are earmarked for use
in renovating the present elemen-
tary schools in the districts and
for additional equipment and inn
provement at the new Jonathan
Alder High School Building. By
actual breakdown the three ele-
mentary centers will receive $45,-
900 of the funds The remaining
$4,000 will be used for shelving,
equipment, seats, landscaping, fem
ces, sidewalks and parking areas
at the Jonathan Alder Building on
u. S. AZ.
improvements at the schools are
outlined as needed in the various
schools already in existence:
Improved lighting is needed in
the old section of the Plain City
building. This building also needs
inside painting. plumbing and
heating repairs, pointing and wat
erproofing and roof repairs over
the old section of the building. The
Canaan building needs lighting
improvements. inside painting,
roof repairs. waterproofing, plumb
ing and heating repairs. The Mon
roe building needs better lighting,
inside painting. outside painting
and pointing, repair of the sky
lights, and heating and plumbing
repairs.
Forty thousand dollars of the
money this bond issue would pro-
duce is designated for equipment,
shelving, seating, landscaping, fen
cling, additional sidewalks, and
parking areas at the new high
school. This money is necessary
for the equipment of the new high
school because the Board of Ed
ucation said they acted in what
they believed to be the best inter-
est of the people by accepting $37,-
600 in alternates when the con-
tracts were let for the new high
school building These aiternates
were things which they said great
ly improved the plan for the high
school. Terrazzo floors in all hall
ways and toilet areas were accept
ed instead of asphalt tile or cem-
ent. They added that the terazzo

Trained Leaders
Needed Here Says
Recreation Group

Trained leadership and city
owned playground and equipment
is the immediate aim of the pro-
posed one-half mill levy for recre-
ational purposes being presented
to London voters this fall, accord
ing to members of the Citizens
Council for Recreation.
For several years the summer
recreational program has had to
depend upon local college and
high school students who were
willing to direct the activities at
modest salaries. The two-year old
teen canteen has succeeded prim-
arily because of the efforts of a
few interested individuals.
= Proponents of the levy contend
that a city the size of London
should hire a recreational direct
or to plan and promote year
round program of wholesome acti-
vitieS for all ages.
The City Recreational Commiss-
ion, with Leo Starbuck, as chair
man, has recognized this problem
in several of its annual reports, but
no funds have been available.
Second to the matter of trained
leadership is the lack of city-own-
ed playground space and equip
ment. 1t has been pointed out that
the present Park Avenue play
ground and almost all recreational
equipment are owned by the Board
of Education.
Supporters of the proposed levy
suggest that a considerable sum
should be set aside from the in
coming fund each year, to be used
for the purchase of property and
equipment
