Third School for Brigham City Then we should project our building program Into the future to include a school on the east aide of Brigham City, school perhaps a constructed architecturally so that as conditions warranted the school could be enlarged. Second, we should authorize immediate action to begin operation of a junior high school at the Bear River High school and open next fall the junior high program with the seventh and eighth grades from the McKinley school. From our survey at Bear River High this can be accomplished without too much expenditure of funds, building facilities are there, but it would require some 'remodeling and shifting of certain departCertainly I need not go into" detail to show the advantages of a junior high school program in conjunction with Bear River to the High. The advantages student are numerous and I am sure that in only a very short time other communities will be anxious to have their students enter this program. Need Junior Division Bear River High school is the only Class A high school in Utah that does not have a junior jiigh school program. Furthof the ermore, high schools in Utah, 1C of these have a junior high program and in this number are included many of our small Class (B high schools in the southern part of the state. Now as to the financing of the immediate building needs. If you will project your thinking with me for a moment, lets assume at Lincoln that we will make the classrooms' 25 percent larger than t'he present side (24 by 27) which Im sure we would all recommend, possibly 27 by 35 feet, that would give us approximately 950 square feet per room. M we have four of these rooms we would have a total of 3,800 square feet.

The Garland addition cost $17.45 per square foot and this would be 15 percent higher, that would mean the total cost would be approximately $200,000. The best estimate 1 can get from our office shows that we will have $100,000 on hand in the building fund as of June 30, 1954, but now listen to this picture: Casih on hand in building fund $100, 000 $35 millioq valuation at a 2.9 mills tax 101,500 levy will give us 9,550 Total Let's assume PALMERS JEWELRY that complish this program in the next year and reduce our tax levy from 6.95 which it was this year to 4.34 for next year. However, before we do this we should remember that neither of our high schools have been properly lighted in fact, many of the classrooms in the old sections of our high schools need attention. Perhaps, gentlemen, the cost wouldnt be as high as I have indicated. To me these are serious problems and I sincerely hope you give your consideration and best judgment to my recommendations.
