Woolbert’s Market Truchsville : Bl; School Dedication Marks End Of Plans Begun Four Years Ago Directors Deserve Praise For Carrying Projects Through Kingston township’s new high school building, which was dedicated on Wednesday night, represents the realization of plans which have been under consideration for many years and which first reached -a definite stage about four years ago. The question of a new high school wags raised on November 6, 1928, when a bond issue for that purpose was de- feated at an election. On September 26, 1931, the hoard passed a resolution authorizing an increase in the bonded indebtedness in the sum of $85,000. At the election held on November 3, 1931, the increase was ratified overwhel- mingly by a vote of 701 to 152. Estimates for the grading of the property selected ran as high as $20,- 000, but, after having tests made, the board was cenvinced that no unusual conditions existed, and this tions was born out by the contract conten- price of $4:415.for the grading of the. athletic field. : There was a considerable saving ef fected in: issuing serial bonds instead of using a ‘sinking fund method to re- tire the bonds. The first bonds are to be retired next year upon payment of $3,500. .Inieach subsequent year as the interest amount is reduced, a larger reduction is made until’ the last payment will be made in 1947. ‘NEW SCHOOL COSTS TOWNSHIP $97,553 Statement of the costs of the new | Kingston township schol building fol- Hows: Bot... ie $ 8,750.00 | General Contract... ooo mn 48,665.05 Heating Contraet’ ......i.+. 10,849.00 Plumbing Contract ....:.... 3,260.00 Sewage Contract ........ .. 1,612.00 {Electrical Contract ........ 2,772.00 {Grading Contract 1c. ives 4,415.00 | Light Fixtures .......e...... 990.00 Road Contract ..... ena 1,650.00 Architects’ Fees .........: . 4.455.54 Furniture and Equip't ...... 10,000.00 Total Cost $97,464 59 Bond ISSUE ....ovvsvenaea.. $85,000.00 King.

LOCATION OF NEW | ° SCHOOL ATTRACTIVE The new Kingston township high school building, perched proudly above the buildings and highways of the Trucksville valles, has a natural set-~ ting which present an appearance as attractive as any in this section j It is recalled that considerable, dif- | ficulty arose in determining the loca- | tion of the school, and the present site was originally offered at a price of $21,500, to which amount the Board objected. After extended negotiations repeated conferences, appraisals by expert realtors and even legal entang- lements, condemnation proceedings were instituted and the present plot was finally purchased for $8,750. The harmonious architecture of the building is accentuated and improved by the natural beauty of the environ- ment.
