Rogers, superintendent, reported. The application is to be pre sented to the allocations board of the state department of finance.

It covers construction costs, purchase of school sites and improvement of the same, purchase of furniture and playground equipment, also architectural, inspec tion, engineering and testing fees, he stated. ELECTION VITAL Application for the allocation of state funds is being made at once, but in order to qualify for the expenditure of state money in the contemplated school improvement program, it will be necessary for the elementary school district to be bonded to 95 per cent, or more of its capacity. This will entail a bond election for $200,000, or possibly a little more, it was stated, to be submitted to electors of the school district early this fall. Completion of the application is the culmination of many months of study of the school problem here, made more acute by rapidly increasing attendance and by several of the district school buildings being found substandard for school use under the Fields bill. State school authorities have co-operated in surveys and planning for local school needs and Kistner, Curtis Wright, Los Angeles, school architects, have done preliminary engineering and designing for the new structures.

Because of the heavy demand for funds to assist school districts with their building programs, the first $50,000,000 from the state bonds voted last November has al ready been allocated. Colton did not have a sufficiently high priority, based on need, Mr. Rogers said, to come under that allocation. However, it is expected that the schools of this city will receive funds from the sale of the second $50,000,000 of state bonds, which is due a little later in the summer, ALL TO BENEFIT All schools of the district and all parts of the city would benefit from the proposed construction program, the city superintendent stated. The contemplated construction program, Mr.

Rogers said, would anu an auuiuuit ui lilt? luui in win be provided. One of these will be for the new Fleetwood school. Replacement of the present Lincoln school and Roosevelt junior high school will occupy two additional new sites. The Garfield school site is to be expanded to include the Wilson school and additional land in that area. More than 60 acres of land will be bought.

Construction program will in- elude 35 new classrooms, seven new kindergarten units, six safe- teria-assembly buildings, administrative offices, library, home-mak ing arts and crafts and shop buildings. In addition to the three Jiew schools, extensive improvements and additional buildings are con templated for the Alice Birney, Wilson, U. S. Grant and Washing ton schools. Mrs.
