After approval Is obtained from I lie federal government, advertis ing for the bids will start. Mr. Davis quoted the architect ;is saying he thought the bids would be ready for lei ling "about the first of the year." The long-hoped for expansion became possible in October 1940 when Haywood County's voters ap proved the proposal for a $225, 000 bond Issue to help finance the construction of .the wing. That will be the part the county will pay on the $fi00,000 bill. The rest will be paid by the fed eral and state governments. Under the statute providing for t lie new construction, the county, federal, and state governments pay roughly about one third of the tot- nl cost Actually, the $G00.000 doesn't re present the cost rf construction a lone.
