per cent for 1951-52 over 1950-51,
according to L. S. Richardson,
superintendent of the A&M Consol
idated School District. The 1950-
51 census was 10 per cent over the
1949-50 census figures, the super
intendent added.
Dr. Charles LaMotte, president
of the school board, and Richardson
were in charge of the educational
program last night. The meeting
was designed to inform district
people of the coming bond elec
tion. .
Tax Schedule Financed
If passed, the bonds will be
financed on the present tax sche-.
dule, said Richardson.
“New buildings in the school
district have increased in valua
tion since 1948, and sufficient tax
funds will be available next year
and thereafter to pay off the pur
posed bond issue.”
"Construction can begin around
June 1,” Richardson said, "giving
ample time to have the cafeteria
and some classrooms ready for use
in September.”
The architect retained for the
proposed work is Paul A. Silver
and Company, San Antonio. The
buildings planned would be of
masonry.
“Favorable interest rates have
been obtained by the school dis
trict in recent months” said Rich
ardson.
