Total Estimated
At $l9.2 Million

A bond issue of about $19.2

This figure will cover con-

Other items include a

$500,000 to pay of interim f.

The low bid for construction
of the stadium, which will 60
up on a site on the banks of
the Anacostia river near the

However, Armory board
members said this figure has
gone up by $65,0O0 for a bet

not include an estimated $780,
