Ross, WPA administrator announced yesterday. The new structure is a $7,000 WPA project, with the Gold Hill school trustees the sponsors, and providing $2,000 for material.

The work is to be done by the Works Projects Administration. A new site has been selected for the school on the east side of Main Street, located about midway between the Gold Hill postoffice and the former site south of the Crown Point mine. The new building will be a modern two-room, wooden structure, with a central heating plant, and sanitary plumbing. It is so designed that the two rooms may be thrown into one by means of folding doors, thus providing an assembly room, and available as a community center. There will be a basement for the heating plant and the building will be electric lighted.

Administrator Ross is particularly interested in this project, as he is a native of Gold Hill, and the old schoolhouse, which was burned is the first one he attended as a boy. William Carroll, foreman in charge of the work, also attended the school, which the new building replaces. The burned structure was a landmark of the Comstock, being constructed in the boom days of mining in the district. Since the fire, school sessions have been held in the old Virginia and Truckee Railway station at Gold Hill. It is expected that the new schoolhouse will be ready for occupancy by the middle of September, Ross said yesterday.
