Payment approved
Payment of more than $75,000 on
contracts for a new sewage process-
ing system and a building to house
it were approved Nov. 10 by the
Dallas Area Municipal Authority
(DAMA).
The authority also denied a
*request by Sterling Construction co.
for another $36,999 for work on the
building. It was believed the firm
had not completed enough work on
the building to justify the payment.
The board had originally agreed to
pay the firm $30,000.
Schools evacuated
Approximately 2,900 students in
the Dallas School District were
evacuated from five school build-
ings on Nov. 8 when a young male
caller phoned in a bomb threat.
The call was received at the high
school switchboard at 12:13 p.m. but
the youth did not say in which
school a bomb had been planted.
All schools in the district were
then evacuated. No bomb was
found, however, and students were
allowed to re-enter the school build-
ings at approximately 1 p.m.
The bomb scare was the second
one in the school district this year.
