Brown and Company. This firm is employed by both the School Board and the recently organized Speedway School Building Corporation. Since the announcement of the organization of the School Building Corporation a number of questions have been asked about its operation. The answers to these questions may be of interest to all Speedway citizens. As stated in the earlier article, the corporation was organized to help finance the building. The company will sell bonds in the amount needed and the School Corporation will pay the building company an amount each year to retire the bonds. This method of financing has been used to a considerable extent in this area. Warren Central, Franklin Central, North Central, and Southport buildings have recently been financed by this method. In fact, Washington Township and Perry Township have now organized a second building corporation. The school building corporation is a non-profit organization. The 1947 law which authorizes the 'building corporation states that it “shall act entirely without profit to the corporation, its directors and stockholders.” The five incorporators were required to deposit a sum of money in order to start the corporation. On the advice of bond counsel this money will not bear interest, but will be returned to the incorporators when all the bonds have been retired. Some people have inquired whether Speedway citizens could buy the bonds that are sold by the building corporation. It is presumed that the successful bond bidder will make the bonds available to anyone who wants to buy them, and it is probable that they may be purchased by individuals through some local securities dealer. The bonds will be sold some time this summer. Present plans for the new high school include academic classrooms, large library, science laboratories, foreign language laboratory, reading laboratory, speech and journalism rooms, in-

Orders will go out in a few days to remove all objects from the streets and alleys, this includes trash cans, garbage cans, incinerators refuse and debris of any kind. The order will be strictly enforced. May we please have your cooperation. Board of Town Trustees
