Plans Approved
For New Schools
In Cumberland

CUMBERLAND, Dec. 10 -
Plans for the new colored ele-
mentary school in Cumberland
county have been approved by
the State Board of Education,
E. Armstrong Smith, division
superintendent, announced this
morning. He also added that
rlans for the new white elemen-
tary school are in the hands OF
state architects, and approval is
expected within a short period
OF time.
Bids for construction of the
two schools will be sought as
soon as funds from the State
Literary Fund are available.
The state has already approved
a loan of 100000 from the
Literary Fund, but the money
is not available at present.
About a million dollars in
loans was granted from the Lit
erary Fund last week, but Smith
says he does not believe Cum
berland was included in this,
because several other school di-
visions are ahead of Cumberland
on the Literary Fund waiting
list.
In order to finance the two
new schools a one dollar tax
increase was voted by the board
OF supervisors in 1859. The coun-
ty has some $4,000 on hand now
in the general fund, which can
be appropriated for school con-
struction, when the supervisors
SO desire. The county also has
