Tuesday. Sept. 11, 1973 (CCC) THE SUN B-3 caring construction (posts cut bond projects WWI'i t'4-T ail rT' have objected each time expenditures 'other than construction came up for action. Trustee Ray Abril Jr. has strongly objected to equipment purchases, contending that the bond money was primarily voted for construction purposes.

During a recent meeting, board members reviewed proposed purchases with Cook and asked that the superintendent review all items and bring a revised bond projects allocation list for their consideration. Cook did this and for the Sept. 25 meeting he presented a new projects list totaling $4,668,991. All proposed buildings are to be completed, but about $220,000 in equipment and embellishments will be eliminated "until such time as funds become available." Proposed cuts from the original project lists include: Grand Terrace Elementary School, television sets and black-topping totaling $5,750. 8 Birney School, miscellaneous items totaling $1,000.

Grant School, furniture, $1,200. Grimes School, storage areas and television sets, $9,500. Lewis School, furniture and blacktop for playground, totaling $12,000. Lincoln School, supply cabinets and air conditioning, $35,000. McKinley School, room darkening, $2,600.

M.IW Sun-Telegrim phot 7,: fit i By CARA WILDMAN Sun-Teltgram Staff Writer CPLTON Soaring construction costs have cut heavily into the $4.7 million bond money voted for use in the Coljon Joint Unified School District and many proposed improvements and much equipment originally planned are haying to be deferred. Since the first request on expenditure of Bond money came before the Board of Education, trustees have asked themselves "is this really necessary?" many items, before the money was approved by voters, a proposed list of expenditures at each school was drawn up and approved by the board. But once bids were out for construction, it was found that costs had risen so much that the money would not cover as much as they had thought. One example of these expanded costs is the new physical education complex at Colton High School.

The district had estimated a cost of $785,034, but was forced to accept a bid of $938,500. Schools Supt. Dr. Owen J. Cook said he doubted "if we rebid for this construction if we would get any cheaper bids," so other projects will be eliminated to make up the difference.

All new furniture for Colton High School has been eliminated and improvements in both the library and cafeteria are in doubt until the boys' gymnasium and girls' shower and locker room projects are completed. Certain members of the school board Developer industrial By KEN LONG Sun-Telegram Staff Writer fiARSTOW faster planning for the 40-4cre Barstow Industrial Park on West Min Street has been ordered by Realty Services Corporation, developer for the park with a projected building date set foj1 next spring. Realty Services, a subsidiary of Khudsen Corporation, has hired Murray-McCprmick Environmental Group to make the master plan for continuation of the project. Currently the park contains Kfl-Lite Industries, a flashlight manufacturer and Knudsen's distribution, center for the high desert. fEhe park consists of approximately 15 Hit-run driver injures youth Police yesterday began a search for a hit-and-run driver they say struck an 11-year-old local boy as he was riding his bicycle.

The accident occurred on San Gorgonio Avenue between George and Nicolet streets just before 2 p.m. The victim, John Jason Sanchez, of 148 W. Wilson was taken to San Gorgonio Pass Hospital for treatment of a deep puncture wound to the leg. He was released after treatment. According to reports the youth was hit by a car traveling the same direction on JJorgonio.

The child was knocked to the ground by the blow and the car did riot stop, said authorities. Terrace View School, sprinkler system, fence, blacktop, folding chairs, totaling $13,000. Wilson School, blacktop in the kindergarten area, sprinkler system and air conditioning of six classrooms for a total of $18,000. Zimmerman School, bookcases costing $500. Bloomington Junior High School, darkening curtains, resurfacing baseball courts, electric furnace and fences, totaling $7,281.

Colton Junior High School, furniture worth Terrace Hills Junior High School storage area, art desks and chairs, which would cost $7,000. Bloomington High School portables and graphic shop worth total of $90,000. Cook said that as money becomes available, the district will complete these projects. Power pole fires keep crews busy By JAN CLEVELAND Sun-Telegram Staff Writer YUCAIPA Dirty insulators on power poles and foggy weather combined last weekend to keep the California Division of Forestry firemen busy fighting a number of small power pole fires. CDF crews at the Yucaipa and Men-tone stations were sent out at 6:07 a.m.

Saturday to put out a fire caused by a downed 12,000 volt power line at 32371 Yucaipa Blvd. Forestry officials said the line was lying in the front yards of several residences. A power surge melted equipment in a fuse box at one of the houses and dirt was fused into glass by the electricity, said Capt. Lou Brun-dage of the Yucaipa station. Power in the Dunlap area was out for about an hour and a half.

Brundage said the dirty insulators had caused the lines to arc and catch fire. At 4:08 a.m. on Sunday engine units from Yucaipa and Mentone stations were sent out on another power pole fire call at 15th Street and Yucaipa Boulevard but were unable to locate the fire. However, a call at 7:19 a.m. brought engines from Yucaipa and Calimesa to fight a power pole fire which burned a cross arm in half at 35066 Avenue H.

No lines fell in that fire, Brundage said. While engine units were fighting that fire another call came in on a small brush fire 300 yards south of the intersection of Bryant and Highway 38. That fire was also caused by arcing insulators, Brundage said. In order to get to the fire before it could spread, the firemen donned five-gallon pack pumps and hiked out to the fire. It was contained in a small area.

California Division of Forestry crews have been put on 24-hour alert in order to be prepared to fight possible fires in Southern California or to travel to Northern California to fight fires there, Brundage said.

The operation is simple: The customer's telephone number is all a representative has to know to retrieve the answers to most questions. Then, she places one of several fiche into a television-like viewer at her desk and a composite image of the customer's record appears.

All this takes place in a matter of seconds as the inquiring customer waits on the line. Before the microfiche program, the service representative was required to put the customer on hold, rummage through one of several filing systems and return to her waiting customer with the answer. If the customer had another question the whole process and delay was repeated, said Bigler. home, 451 E. Society Faster phone service wilh orders park plan acres belonging to Knudsen, and another 25 acres of other privately-owned land.

Paul Richards, director of the Barstow Area Industrial Development Corporation, said a meeting will be held with the various owners of the park on Sept. 19 to discuss the master plan. Richards said the corporation has been very pleased with Realty Services' promotion of the park. The city is currently having a trunk sewer line extended the length of the park, which is located between Main Street and the Santa Fe Railway right-of-way near the Mojave Manor tract. Murray-McCormick will examine and coordinate all plans from initial organization through anticipated growth and completion.

The park will promote "with complete flexibility in meeting the needs of prospective residents with a build-to-suit sales leasing plan." Small turnout for bike rodeo BANNING "A disappointing turnout," said members of the Banning Police Department of the Bicycle Rodeo on Saturday. Only 56 youngsters turned out and most of those in the first hour.

VICTORVILLE A "major improvement" in Continental Telephone Co. business office procedures has a simple name: COM. Actually, it's "Computer Output to Microfilm," a new way of keeping and retrieving customer records which should result in "a more efficient local business office and faster service for telephone customers." It's a large order to fill, but Larry Bigler, Division commercial manager, is confident that COM can manage it. The key to the new project is a plastic microfilm sheet called a fiche.

Each one contains some 400 sets of customer commercial records and makes it possible to corbine several file cabinets of records into one microfiche file.
