Huggins review selling procedures for $2.2 million in revenue bonds Tuesday. UB Addition Board Of Trustees To Open Bond Bids The Weber State College Board of Trustees will open bids Tuesday for the sale of $2.2 million in revenue bonds for construction of an addition to the Union Building. Bids will be opened at 11 a.m. during the board's monthly meeting.The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has agreed to purchase $500,000 of the bonds, with the remaining $500,000 to be sold on the open market in competitive bidding. Dr. William P. Miller, WSC president, said sale of the bonds will clear the way for construction of the Union Building addition. The college has received a low bid of $1,941,000,' he said, with award of the contract delayed until after the sale of the bonds. Submitting the lowest bid for the construction project was the Culp Construction Company of Salt Lake City, one of ten bidders. A spokesman for the board's fiscal agent said bids will not be submitted until the morning of the opening because of conditions in the money market which may call for last minute adjustments in the offers. The bonds will be 40 year bonds and will become part of the Weber State housing system financial setup.These bonds will be repaid with income from the Union Building, dormitories and other student fees. In addition to financing construction, the bonds will also cover architect's fees, furnishings, equipment and other costs, Miller said. The Union Building addition is one of several construction projects now being planned on the WSC campus. Other projects now being planned for Weber State are: high-rise dormitories, new science complex and completion of the Wildcat stadium. Miller said construction at the school is being kept minimal, as requested by Gov. Rampton in his monatorium on building last February, "but necessary projects are being completed." "The addition should be completed in 1968," he said, "which will more than double our present facility." Included in the new addition will be alumni offices, ballroom, restaurant, expanded student offices and lounge. Facilities for a smoking room have also been included in the plans, Miller said. Interviews Meld For WSC Nurses Students who plan to enroll in the next session of the practical nursing program that begins next September 25th at Weber State College are invited to take interviews as soon as possible.
