To Purchase School Site In Few Days
First National Bank To Take Sufficient Bonds To Permit Action Now
Property in the so-called Miller site, which was recently selected by the Henderson graded school trustees for the location of the new high school, will be bought by the school board in a few days, E. M. Rollins, county superintendent, said today. While there is some adjustment yet to be made in one or two instances, it is thought that can be taken care of satisfactory.
The price of the entire property to be bought, with the exception of a narrow strip, will be $23,300. An additional 20 feet alongside Mrs. A. J. Harris' home, to be used for a driveway back to the athletic field, is yet to be arranged for, and a scaling down on the old Baptist church lot is hoped for before the actual purchase.
Purchase of the property at this time is to be made possible by the agreement of the First National Bank in Henderson to take immediately enough of the school bonds to make the cash readily available. The exact amount the bank will buy has not been learned as yet.
It is planned, however, to close on all options on or before November 10.
The separate pieces of property to be acquired and the prices at which they have been offered are: James I. Miller $13,500; C. W. Hargrove (old Baptist church property), $6,000, which it is hoped can be scaled down, Mrs. A. J. Harris (garden site for athletic field), $2,000; W. S. Parker estate (garden site for athletic field). $1,800.
The 20 feet for a driveway would be paid for at the same rate per foot as is paid to Mr. Hargrove, or approximately that.
