WFA and County Cooperating
On Needed Plant For
Elementary Grade*
Work was started ’.a*t Thursday on
the new Brevard elementary school
building which will b<* a modern edifice
In every respect, and will adequately
care for the elementary work here for
a number of years to corns. The Works
Progress Administration is doing he
work and furnishing large pert of the
materials.
Tl.e structure will be of brick and
tile, with a metal roof, and the 8 rooms
will all be on one ground floor, which
la the new approved type for elementary
school buildings.
Total cost of the building Is estimated
at $23,000, with the WPA furnishing
around 70 per cent of the cost. Realiz
ing that a new building would have to
be constructed the school officials have
been laying aside funds for the work
for the past two years, and County
Superintendent J. B. Jones announces
that sufficient cash Is on hand to take
care of the sponsor's part of the cost
of the building.
In addition to the six class rooms
for grades one through three, a largo
basement will be built, In which the
steam heating plant will be housed,
and provision made for a modern lunch
room to be used by both, elementary
and grammar school children.
Twenty men are employed on the
project, with A. M. Case as supervisor
and superintendent of construction. It
Is expected that the building will be
completed and ready for use by Febru
ary or Marcb.
! Provision was made last year to care
I for the elementary grades In the pri
mary building. While the accommoda
tions were far from satisfactory they
were the best that could be made under
the circumstances, and the county was
uneble to build without aid of the WPA.
Superintendent Jones said that Director
W. E. Breese had given him every co
operation In suiting the work, and had
promised to lend his aid In rushing the
building to completion as rapidly as
labor conditions under the WPA setup
would permit.
