MiIIsboro High School
Building Program

DuAu4HE ETUgfdAN
The Millsboro Board of School
Trustees has announced that a
referendum will be held Novem-
Der 16, 1857, to obtain approval of
a bond issue to finance the dis
trict's share of the new building
program which will be $75,000.00.
The total amount available, if the
vote is favorable, will be $751;
10000 since the General Assembly,
in its last session, authorized the
state to provide $122,50000 which
is 500, of the total cost. If the
residents of the District approve
the sale of these additional bonds,
it is not expected that they will be
subject to an increased tax rate
as the present income from taxes
will be ample to meet the annual
obligations.
Building needs in the Millsboro
district are pressing due to an ever
increasing enrolment. Glasses are
currently being held in the elemen-
tary library and on the stage. Even
some periods the cafeteria must be
used. The proposed classrooms,
lavatory facilities in the elementary
wing, and remodeling of the stage,
auditorium and lobby.
