Meeting Set To Discuss Problems The Cherokee County "Fair Grounds" came to the for* this week when the Murphy City School Board of Trustees asked the Cotn> ty Commissioners and Murphy Council to deed the land to the school hoard. The Cherokee County Fair As sociation Will meet in about 10 ' days to draft Its recommendations to the County Commissioners. I The land is owned pointly by Cherokee County and the Town of Murphy. I Murphy Council voted Monday night to deed the property to the school board. At a joint meeting of the Fair Association, the County Commis sioners and the Murphy Council, H. Bueck, superintendent of Mur phy City Schools, outlined the [ reason for the request for the land. Luther Dockery, Fair Asso ciation president, presided. Mr. Bueck gave this account: The City School Unit has . .58,000 from the State bond election and $167,000 from, the county bond el ection. The unit needs eight class rooms, a lunchroom and an auditorium. The school house division of the state Department of Education recommended that the Murphy unit build a high school building away from the present buildings jnow standing. nuwover, me money now avail able to the Murphy unit will not pay for a high school unit. Such a unit would take at least 22 class I rooms, not including special labs I and other necessary facilities. The state review board ? an or ganisation that studies* all school building plans? has ruled that the Murphy atytofcotS -does not own enough land at the present site to erect any more buildings. The only land available is the fair grounds. If that land is ac quired, the state specifications will probably be met and a build ing. that will answer present needs can be built with the money now available to the school. SATURATION POINT W. L. Lath an, a member of the State Department of Education's division of school house planning and building, attended the meet ing and said his panel ruled that the Murphy School unit has reach ed the saturation point for expan sion on the present site. Mr. La than agreed that the Mur phy School Board does not have enough money to build a separate high school unit. He said he drove around Murphy and did not see a location he would consider ac ceptable. One could probably be found, he added, with consider Iable expense. "If there is any land available near the present site, the school should acquire it as soon as possi ble," he asserted. C. E. Hyde, county attorney, saic< he had not formed an opinion yet and termed the problems "large". He agreed that the school needed land and questioned Mr. Bueck on the second distribution of jthe state money. The superinten dent said the state seems to be f!w letting the second half of the bond money go. - Cos tinned aa page eight
