Show SCHOOL BOARD IIS SUIT, INJUNCTION INJUNC-TION DISSOLVED, COriTRAGT LET The fight which has been wag-, d in the courts for the past year to prevent the Jordan School Board from building the new high school at Copperton, came to a jlose last Saturday, when a decision de-cision was handed down by ludge J. W. MeKinney, in the Third District Court, dissolving ihe temporary .writ of injunction 'irotight to prevent the Board t'i mi awarding the contract. In substance the decision re-' i es that the legislature has pro-v pro-v ided school boards of Utah with 'jroad powers in the matter of Mindunting the business of' the at ious districts and that the Jor-.lan Jor-.lan school board is not exceed-' ng its authority in allocating the !iigh school. j Immeditely after the decision ' was handed down the Board met lid f.warded the contract for the builing and work will start at once on grading and other preliminary prelim-inary work. The general contract was j warded to Paul Paulsen, the lowest low-est bidder, for $222,800; the Heating Heat-ing and plumbing contract to 11. G. Burton for $50,610 and the electrical work was let to Blaine-Grey Blaine-Grey Electric Co. for $8,954. The ' second lowest bid on the general contrct was submitted by Chas. I A. Kampe for $223,695 or $895 higher than the successful bidder. In all eight bids were received on the general contract varying in amounts up to $23,000. The contracts call for the completion com-pletion of the buildirilg on or before be-fore the first day of September, 1931. As will be observed, the building build-ing proper will cost slightly less than $3C0,CO0 which is somewhat less tha nthe estimate of the architects ar-chitects designing the plans and specifications. It is estimated that equipment and furnishings will require from $00,000 to $80,-000 $80,-000 additional. The decision to remove the high school from the city limits of Bingham came as a keen disappointment dis-appointment to citizens and business busi-ness men here who have fought for past year to keep the school iu its present location, on the other oth-er hai ll those favoring the removal remov-al are elated over the prospect of having a large, commodious and modern institution of higher education edu-cation located were adequate fields for a campus and outdoor activities of the school are avail able. |
