School (continued from page 1) dicting a tax increase was prema- ture because new developments within the Dallas Area would proba- bly make up the additional tax monies. George did not agree with that explanation and stated that in his opinion the board was robbing the taxpayers. The board first considered the option of adding only two class- rooms and remodeling the labora- tories and home economics room. Then board member Ellen Nagy recommended the plan that was accepted, after remarking, "I don't understand any of the options. I'm not 100% sure that this is what we need; there are so many confusing contradictions." Nagy said she would rather err by approving too much space than too little space. She referred to the wish lists the board had requested from admin- ~ istrators and faculty members and said although she realized that many of the ideas submitted were extreme, most of the teachers re- quested more space. Water (continued from page 1) customers for two weeks, service to Bluff Pointe could be provided. Member Douglas Ide reported that he had obtained many of the old well logs but that Professor Brian Redmond would be unable to assist in the collection of that data.

Sard told other members of the commission that Ellie Rodda, liai- son between the commission and the Back Mountain Citizens' Coun- cil, had contacted newspapers that have agreed to cooperate in pub- lishing a survey of water sources.

O'Neill of Ballard, Spahr, Ingersoll and Andrews as bond counsel for the proposed bond issue at a rate of $12,000 plus expenses not to ex- ceed $1,000.
