Board Asks Independence In Creating Sinking Fund "We should support this plan," declared Trustee #rank Oke. "Our experience shows that building scnools on a 20â€"year basis, we pay 70 per cent,. more than the actual cost of the building. School boards shouli be allowed to set aside a buildihg fund." The motion Nfrenmed last night by Trustee Mrs. Evelyn Beattie was approved in principle by unanimous vote of the trustees. Support Plan "This step wouldn‘t altogether eliminate the issuing of uebenâ€" tures," remarked Chairman Harry Durant. ‘"The limit should be at least $25,000 a year," said Trusiee Oke. ‘‘The best plan would be to have it a percentage of the assessment," said Secretary E.
