Show Talks Continue On Indian Hills School Plans for the new Indian Hills Elementary School suffered a minor setback at last week's meeting meet-ing of the Salt Lake City Board of Education. The board, on the grounds that the building would be far too costly as designed, rejected all bids on the proposed schooL Officials decided to call on the buildings and grounds department to study the school plans for poss-" ible changes or even a completely new design. They said that because of the hilly area designated for the school they expected the new school might cost $40,000 to $60,000 more than another of comparable size. However, the total of the low base bids was $689,770, nearly $210,000 more than the normal construction costs of a comparable building. It was estimated by Warren R. Tyler, chairman of the board's building and grounds committee, that the figure would reach more than $800,000 by the time all other items were added. |
