The Franklin Preu and The Highland* Maconian PAGE EIGHT ' THURSDAY, MARCH 4, 1948 ( ? Continued From Page On* MOVE TO START BUILDING NEW SCHOOL PLANTS Mr. Baldwin wanted to know what the board proposes to do1 for those communities in which it originally was planned to con struct new buildings, but which will have to be left off the pro gram at present costs. Mr Houk replied that that is a matter for the board of edu cation. 1 ? Chairman Baldwin also want ed to know if the school board would need the beer funds prior to July 1. He explained that the county has had un anticipated expenses, and it might not be wise to transfer all of these funds until the end of the fiscal year. This county's share of the beer taxes is estimated at about $32,000 a year. Macon will share in these taxes, under the law, a? long as beer . is legally sold in' this county, but not- other wise. In opening the discussion of the need for new school build ings, Mr. Houk told the school board that he had a com munication from the State Board of Education pointing out that the per pupil cost of edu cation at five small Macon schools is in excess of the state average, and asking that a study be made looking to consolida tion of these schools. The schools and the per pupil costs given are: Mountain Grove, $121.50; Mashburns, $108.45; Gold Mine, $31.03; Allison-Watts, $60; and Oak Dale, $60.75. (The North Carolina average per pu pil cost last year was $63.) Mr. Houk also remarked that there are going to have to be three first grade teachers to handle the situation at the Franklin school next year, but that every classroom In the plant is now in use solid time. His suggestion for remedying this situation ts to take some of the load off the Franklin school I NOW!

No figures were given on the other three schools?

Mr. Gudger explained that his. figures are estimates, but he said they were based upon care ful study of bids recently sub mitted for school buildings else where. No bid whatever was made or, a proposed building in Swain county at a letting he attended there Monday morning, he com mented. by sending some of the childrei now being transported there tc a new colsolidated school in the Ellijay community, at the same time consolidating some of the small schools with high per pupil costs there. A delegation made up of J. R. Berry, J. B. Sanders, F. W. Hembree, Charlie Jones, Charlie B. Clause, Noah Gibson, Joe Johnson, and Mrs. J. A. Mincey appeared to protest discontinu ance of operation of a school bus over a loop extending from the store formerly operated by Herman Dean through San erstown and back to the high way. It was explained to the group that it was discontinued because only two children, both in high school, on the loop, had to walk more than a mile to the highway, and that by eliminat ing this loop the bus, on an earlier run, can pick up primary children in the Patton settle ment 15 minutes later. Principal W. H. Finley, of the Franklin school, it was added, had called in the children in volved and explained to them. Mrs. Mincey's daughter, it was said, told him she was not phy sically able to walk, whereupon Mr. Finley asked her to discuss It with her parents, and see him again. She did not return, it was said. Mrs Mincey, who is now send ing the daughter to school in another county, emphatlcali) said the daughter had returnee to discuss the matter with Mr. Finley, had been "talked to like a dog", and told that he would see "that she was able to walk". The group insisted that they pay taxes, and should be en titled to school bus service, re gardless of the number of chil dren involved; that taking the bus off affects the value of their property; and that this same bus is now "going way up Watauga and back, for one child". They also complained that the bus driver, going to ward Watauga, refuses to pick up the children, even though they may be standing in the rain. The school board told the group that it was a matter for Mr. Finley, and declined "to go over his head". Members of the group left declaring they were going to appeal to state authori ties. ?
