Vote Unanimous on Former
Tate Farm, Now Scales
Property
FOUR SITES CONSIDERED
A. M. Scales Gives 30 Acres if City
Buys 30 More at $1,000 Per Acre.
Large Tract Needed
The board of education, at h rneet-
ing on March 25, voted unanimously
that the new high school should be lo
cated on the old Tate farm, the former
home of A. M.; Scales, if they CO)ild:Bro-
cure as much as 140 or 150 acres of
land at a satisfactory price. Mr. Scales
donated 30 acres and ofi'ered to sell the
board an additional 30 acres at $1,000
per acre. The board decided to accept
his offer, provided another 90 acres of
the Tate property could be bought at
a reasonable price. E. D. Broadhurst,
chairman of' the board, expressed his
opinion concerning this location as
ideal, taking in consideration thp fu
ture.
The four proposed high school sites
were talked of and discussed before
the board definitely decided on fhe Ta^e
property. The other three offered pites
are the Benbow site, the Gone tract, and
the Latham site. It was decided that
these were either not suitably locaited
or were not large enough for the high
school of ten years from now.
The Tate farm is just inside the city
limits in the northwestern part pf
Greensboro, and can be easily reached
from the surrounding highways.
The board of education also consid
ered sites for the grammar school at
Pomona Mills. No site has as yet been
decided on, but the Bergman place is
favored.
