Improving Eugene Haycock of Architec- Cache County School Board to discuss construction of a new elementary school in the district. He suggested the building of an additional elementary school in Smithfield rather than extensive remodeling of the existing one, since the additional cost for new construction would not be a relatively greater amount. Superintendant C. Bryce Dra- per had just cited the most critical need in the district as being the need for more and better classroom space at the Smithfield Elementary. At the same time he noted that renovations at the Lincoln school in Hyrum, the Providence school and a new school for Richmond should be taken care of in the near future. Mr. Haycock told the board that a major renovation of the Smithfield school would call for a lunchroom, media center and more classrooms to bring it up to date. That is when he suggested a second elementary school. The board was invijetj'to tour a school nearing completion in Preston which is a consolidated type elementary facility and all the latest incorporates design features for schools. The Preston school, Haycock said, has a total of 27 classrooms and is costing approximately $700,000 to build. By comparison, Mr. Haycock noted that 10 extra classrooms for the present Smithfield structure could cost the district at least (500,000.

Mr. Haycock answered yes, noting that money could be saved by reusing the Preston plans if the board was satisfied with the design of that school. Other costs could be cut because of the duplication process, Mr. Haycock said. After the board meeting, however, despite the board's interest in seeing the Preston school, Supt. Draper stressed that the first priority still should be renovation of the existing school. There isnt the money to build a new school, he said. Getting the funds, he noted, would require bonding and Ihe.district is trying to stick with a pay as you go, policy of new school construction. The Smithfield school was built in 1930, Mr. Draper said. The representatives of the architectural firm speculated that the present structure is good for 40 more years use after renovation. Mr. Draper added that the needs of the school will have to be taken care of by this time next year. Regardless of whether the board decides to build a new school, he said, the old one must be renovated. To help. ( illustrate district needs the superintendent showed first week enrollment comparisons from 1961 to the present. The figures show that the district increased its pupil population by 2.9 per cent this year; a rise slightly higher than anticipated, Supt. Draper said. The percentage of change figures show an upward climb over the last four years. In 1969 the pupil numbers increased by only .9 per cent; climbed one per cent in 1970; 2.3 per cent in 1971 and 2.9 per cent this year. The highest increase over the entire 12 year period was in 1964 when the district picked up a 9.6 per cent growth in pupil population. The superintendent pointed out that 'this growth figure was inflated lay the fact that the district that year added 500 new students by adding kindergartens to the school system. In other board business members of the board generally agreed that they were satisfied with what they saw in a tour of several, district schools last week.

Ed. Note: This is the third State Utah Constitution which Utah voters will be considering Nov. 7. Proposition No. 2 in the proposed amendments to the Utah Constitution covers a very specific matter: Restricting bail in certain .felony cases: Shall Section 8 of v Article I of the State Constitution be amended to provide that persons shall not be bailable when accused ol a felony while on probation or parole, or while free on bail awaiting trial on a previous felony charge, where the proof is evident or the presumption strong? This proposition has been placed on the ballot by direct action of the 1971 Utah Legislature. It proposes a change in the language of Section 8, Article I of the Constitution. At present, offenses not bailable are capital offenses" (those punishable by death). Proposition 2 would add to capital offenses not bailable any felony charge, when the accused person is on probation or parole, or free on bail awaiting trial on a previous felony charge, where the evidence or tlje presumption is strong. The purpose of the amendment is to decrease the n limber of repeated felonies committed by persons already within the control of the criminal justice system. The number of repeated felonies is particularly serious in the case of persons released TO ALL State Three Sky View music students, Floyd on bail, proponents of the if the choir, TOrf Weston of the band and Carolyn amendment claim.

The extreme fire danger conditions that existed in the Intermountain Region during late summer have been lessened by recent precipitation, reported Forest Service fire officials today. However, they warned that the fire season is not yet over. Hunters are urged to use special care during the big game hunting season, just ahead. Robert McBride, Chief of the Division of Fire Control and State and .Rriyate Forestry, reported that more fires have been reported this year in the Intermountain Region than during 1966, which was 'the worst year in history for the number of fires started. However, the total acreage burned during 1972 is considerably less than that reported in 1966, he said. The total number of fires to date during 1972 is 1474, with 13,670 acres burned. During 1966, 1340 fires resulted in 61,374 acres burned. The greatest destruction caused by fire in one year was during 1947, when 86,807 acres were burned in the 84320 Music Students Go To articles on the four amendments to the Situation - LEWISTON, UTAH in a series of five Fire Cache School District Notes Critical Needs tural Design West met with the. respectivel- y- cattle, sheep, swine, crops, and agricultural mechanics.
