June 28, 1972 No. 4. To the question of why there is need for a new gymnasium in Beaver or Mllford for $750,000, the board president responded that the schools need new buildings ,to provide an adequate physical education program and to enable the to host tournacommunities ments.

The board explained that one way to finance the building program would be to tax one year and retain the funds then build one building the next year and pay for that building with the tax funds received for the two year period, then use the third year's tax to start the second building which would be paid for out of the third and fourth year's tax. This would eliminate paying interest for bonds. Board Member Norman L. Lamb suggested that the board bond the school district for sufficient funds to build two buildings at the same time and In the long run It would save the school district money. Board Member Gary E. Sullivan supported him in this suggestion. It was pointed out from the floor that there are three gymnasiums in Beaver: the school, the church and the Armory.
