HighSchool
Election

The absolute necessity of a
high sc h DOL referendum was
made plain last week by the
Board of Education of District
218 which set the date for the
election as Saturday, February
%.
Pointing out that both Old
Main and the Campus Building
were still being used beyond
capacity and that the opening
of the new Northwest Building
for Freshmen and Sophomores
would still leave 1000 students
at Old Main and not help at all
the increasing overflow of the
entire districts juniors and
seniors at the Campus Build
ing. Superintendent Richards
stated that the Board members
were unanimously in the opin
ion that an election at this time
was absolutely necessary as well
as wise and just.
Leading features of the ref
erendum will be a request to
change the total tax rate of the
The Robbins eagle. (Robbins, Ill.) 1951-1963, 1959-02-07

district from $1.25 to $40, a
bond issue for $S65,O00, and an
addition of SC in the transport
tation rate.
Money obtained from the cleo
ton will be spent wisely in
purchasing a site for an addi-
tional building for freshmen
and sophomores of the north
central section of the district.
This site of approximately 20
acres is near the corner of 115th
and Cicero. Approval will also
be sought to provide money for
the purchase of this site for a
possible second building for the
juniors and seniors, since the
Campus Building at 127th and
Sacramento is already being
used past capacity with over
1900 students now being &C.
commodated in facilities plan
ned for less than 1000. Conser-
vative studies of student popu
lation growth indicate a high
school population of 5000 be-
fore 1865.
Extremely rapid growth O.
the southwest section of the
school district indicates definite
need for additional land to be
added to the Sou hive t
Building site, and this PROPOSE
ton will also be realized if the
election passes.
Further information on the
election will be carried in addi-
tional stories in this paper.
