School District
Again Votes For
H.S. Bond Issue
Ballots Show Huge Majority Favoring Financing of New Building: Vote Is Light but Overwhelming.
Las Vegas voters went to the polls Saturday afternoon and declared themselves again as being whole-heartedly for the bonding of the school district for the building of a new $250,000 high school plant, thus assuring the commencing of the building operations as soon as plans are completed and legal formalities complied with. The vote for the $250,000 bond issue was 89 for and 4 against.
Architects are expected to finish the plans soon. The sale of the bonds probably will be held August 2, according to Miss Maude Frazier, principal, which will make possible the placing of the contract some time next month.
The actual work probably will be started in October, it has been predicted, the building to be completed some time in mid-winter.
There will be three buildings, a main building, a gymnasium building and a shop. The main building will be on Seventh street facing west, between Bridger and Lewis streets. The gym and the shop will be between Bridger and Lewis, facing Eighth street. The block south, between Bridger and Clark, will be an athletic field.
An auditorium unit will probably be built later, it has been stated, there being none in the present plans.
Concrete will be used in the construction of the building, which will be 200 feet in length and three stories high.
The gymnasium will have an 85 by 48 foot floor, bleachers, dressing rooms and showers, and the shop will be 105 by 50 feet, with dust proof drying room, lumber racks, forge and other new conveniences.
