The board also voted approval for the same firm to prepare a contract on plans and specifications for bringing all grade school buildings, including Landmark, to life safety code requirements. An estimate was given of $100,000 for nine classrooms and one all - purpose room if Landmark should be remodelled. The firm said it considered this a reasonable figure. In a later discussion of the proposed bond issue, which will be presented for the fourth time, some members expressed a desire to include the $100,- 000 for Landmark along with the request for a new school. The question of setting a date for the election was postponed until members meet with the City Council, which hasplanned a referendum of its own for early December. A cooperative effort is desired by the school board, which may postpone the school issue until early January.

Approval was given to the employment of Joanne Plucinski to work in the cafeteria at Valley View, and Roland Koerper, part time custodian at Valley' View. Hie resignation of Mrs. Audrey Regner, second grade teacher at Valley View, effective Jan. 28, was accepted. Results of a Citizens' Advisory council survey to deter? mine reasons for the failure of the recent bond issue were discussed. The survey was not intended to obtain accuracy but rather as a judgement of local residents.

Asked what they thought the board should do, 551 said "try again" and 144 listed "build additions". •i; An impressive mortgage burning ceremony was held during the Family Eucharist at St. Paul's Episcopal church, S.
