Northern’s Share Of $30.5
Million Bond Is $600,000
Northern Junior college’s share of $30 5 million in construction money will amount to $600,000, provided State Question 393 carries, according to President V. R. Easterling.
Easterling said voters would be given the opportunity on July 5 to pass the question authorizing the legislature to issue bonds in the amount of $35,500.00 of which $5 million would be used to build a hospital and school for retarded children and the remainder would be spent on the physical plants of 18 tax-supported schools in the state.
The payment of the bonds, if approved by voters, would be made by an extension of the present cigarette tax of two cents per package. The tax was originally set up for that purpose and is due to expire.
Dr. Easterling said money received from the bond issue would probably be used at Northern to build a library, a girls physical education annex, and the repair and modernization of present buildings.
