ACT ON TAX WARRANTS (Continued from page 1) board decided to accept the bid of Payton Chevrolet among sev­ en bidders for a school bus chassis. The figure was *4 755.39. Noting that 60 per lint of the drivers are now women, and that this percen­ tage will probably increase, members decided to purchase the automatic transmission at a cost of $1,000 more than the regular transmission. Figur­ ing the life of a bus at 8 years, the board decided that the Ixtra cost would be little more than $100 a year. Also, they considered in making their de­ cision that the regular trans­ mission might need to be re­ placed more than once during the life of the bus. Payments of $15,000 to Jo­ seph Frett & Son and $5,000 Cto Fridstein & Fritsch, archi­ tects, were rriade for work at East campus. It was estimated that there will need to be an expenditure of between $4,000 and $5,000 this summer for fixtures, step repair and painting on East campus. Neumann suggested "that in line with a policy of c the> school to encourage bus­ iness firms to employ students and give them training, the board should consider hiring boys to paint. After some dis­ cussion on insurance costs in­ volved, it was decided that the jnatter would be checked further before a decision is made. Re-bids were asked for other work at East campus, including the installation of windows and casings. Aluminum windows were decided upon, the total ' estimated cost of all work to FORESEE POSSIBLE SCHOOL SHUTDOWN (Continued from page 1) two months.

The sixteen-man Senate Edu­ cation committee last week kill­ ed the Cherry bill (identical to one passed by the House) with j a 10-6 vote. The Copeland bill (passed by the Senate) is now before the same Senate Educa­ tion committee. It might be pos­ sible to rally enough support by the Senators to vote to take the bill out of committee and give members of the Senate a chance to vote on the issue. Or, Father Kennedy said, the , Senate Education committee night vote to send the Cope- land bill out of the committee --for the Senate to consider. , "We hope to show our con­ cern in this matter and to dra- matize the great need for this money by non-public schools," said Father Kennedy. "We feel that the 101-53 vote by the House indicates broad public support and that Senators should • be able to vote on the issue and not have it determined by a sixteen-member committee". i * INVESTIGATE NUMEROUS .
