Building And Aid Negro
Project From $100,000 Bond
Sale.
In a final effort to Induce a con
tractor to undertake the construction
of tee proposed grammar school
W Y.g for a sum within <60,000,
the school boaro, Architeet Wilaon
anti Contractor L. Gentry, will meet
in the office, of Clifford A Tournaend
Monday afternoon It if probable that
•omo flight change* will be made in
the plana, but theae chengee will not
effect the material ralue of the build
I Jig.
Decision to coll this meeting was
touched In a special meeting of the
Hoard yesterday when the building
committee reported its inability to
And a contractor who would under
take the project as it now stands for
the sum offered. The board
feels that it will not bo
justified in spending more than
*60,000 for th# building's con
struction, since it inlands to spend
only *160,000 of the *200,000 of
bonds authorised in election list year
for this building, repair* to th* old
and aid for the new negro school
■ building.
Mr. Gentry, whose oflees are in
Fayetteville, was the lowest bid
der Ja th* recent contest among
the more than a soers of
contractors. Hia bid then was slightly
over (66,000. It D felt that with
slight changes in some phases of the
aichiteel's plans he can undertake
the building fur *60,000 or lass.
This building is to ha erected at
the southern rad af Magnolia avenue
upon property purchased last year
fra** p. t. «— 1m.-« mn ii <fnt
of the boat and molt modsmly equip
ped public school buildings in North
Carolina.
When bonde were issued for the
construction of the bailding it was
hoped that it could he completed la
t me for the last half of this term
of school. Low bond values and high
building eoets. however, interferred.
The school board did not feel justi
fied in letting the bonds go for lees
than par. Caution in this matter while
delaying the building program, sav
ed the community more than (10,000
in the sale of the honds and much
more money in the value of building
materials.
It ia now hoped that tha building
can be completed by the time the nest
rehool term opens. Unless it Is, there
will be no room for hundreds of
children who should be enrolled in
Dunn schools next fell. Even now
some of the classes are working on
hal ftlme to permit all of the chil
dren to be accommodated and all of
the class rooms ere badly crowded.
