oh N Hal : J oo : ; ’ pa 7 : f ‘No Taj Mahal’ Final contractor bid figures, however, indicated significant savings of close to $800,000 over original cost projections--and these figures will result in significant savings for taxpayers. Gilbert Tough, president of the board of school directors, com- mented on the new school, “We, of the board of school directors, are very pleased with the final cost figure on this new building.

This is a -school very similar to our Lehman-Jackson building, designed to provide students and teachers with a pleasant learning environment and no frills to burden taxpayers. » “I want to commend my fellow . board members for the many hours they have spent in bringing this building to the point where we are now ready for ground breaking. “We are also very pleased that we were able to constantly respond to the local taxpayers and keep the building costs far below what the state “Taj Mahal Bill’ indicates we might have paid for this facility.” A significant portion of the cost of the school will be offset by the in- © surance recovery from the burned Lake Elementary School and, in addition, the state will subsidize approximately 45 percent of the remaining cost. It is anticipated that the local tax- payers will be paying about $115,000 i per year for the new facility which, at current assessed valuation, would be approximately seven mills of taxes. That figure will be reduced even further as the assessed valuation of the district increases. Original ‘‘guesstimates’” placed the cost of the facility as high as 4.3 million dollars with an increase in real estate millage as high at 15.
