Inspection Made
Os Class Rooms
John A. Holmes reported to!
the County Commissioners that
state officials, the architect and
contractors made a final inspec
tion. of four, rooms added to the
colored elementary school on
August 2.7. . i
“We certainly Appreciate the
way tiie Commissioners came to
our rescue in providing these
rooms,” said Mr. Holmes. “We
would certainly have .been in an!
embarrassing position when
school opened if we had not had
these four rooms.’’ s
The four rooms cost $40,000.
The Commissioners have or-.
dered the issuance of $90,000
school bonds to cover the cost
of these four rooms, as well as
four new class rooms at the
White Oak Consolidated School,
j which will also cost $40,000. A
loan of $20,000 was made from
the Literary fund.
