When specifications were issued for the Junior High construction, the Board felt it necessary to curtail costs to within the architect's estimate. s Several alternates were included, so cut backs could be handled if the bids ran too high. Deduction of kitchen equipment and cabinet work were some of the things that would have been omitted in that case. This was not necessary, however, with the bid of the Jensen Company being below the estimated cost by $7,130. Junior high students at Box Elder will attend classes in the new structure completed only last week by Wayne A. Jensen. The move was to be accomplished early this week. Work on the new building will begin as soon as the site is cleared with facilities to be ready during the next school year.
