Immediate Action On School Problem
Fast work to relieve Coulee City's crowded school facilities was begun last Friday. Bair and Crick construction company began erection of temporary quarters to house the influx of students brought here by the large amount of construction work here.
The company reported Monday that they expected to complete the work within the next month.
Coulee City school district electors voted to spend $5,000 from the capital outlay fund to construct the buildings. State funds to match this amount are expected, and the daily papers reported Sunday that the sum had been appropriated by the Washington State Development Board. Paul Neihart, chairman of the board of school directors said Monday that the school has not yet been notified officially of the grant.
The buildings now underway consist of four quonset huts, which will be combined into two buildings. These buildings should not be confused with the permanent buildings, for which plans have been made.
"The money voted for the temporary buildings is from the capital outlay fund, and is not to be confused with the funds already pledged toward the new permanent school," Neihart explained.
Growth of the classes here is demonstrated by the fact that with 50 first grade students last year, there are now 90 first graders, and the number is expected to reach 100 by March.
Contract for the permanent building has not yet been let, awaiting funds requested from the State Development Board to match the local fund of approximately $62,000.

Give Progress of Projects
Satisfactory progress was the general report from construction projects contacted this week.
Bair and Crick contracting firm, which is now stripping the excavation for the foundation of South Coulee Dam, reports 140 men on the payroll. Peak employment will be reached next year.
Work at present involves insertion of grout pipe into an excavation in the foundation of the dam. The trench will then be refilled with concrete and concrete will then be grouted back through the pipes, filling the holes and cracks.
Construction of temporary schools in Coulee City is also a Bair and Crick project. Approximately six men are working on this project which calls for completion in 120 days, but which will probably be finished in the next month, the company states.
Approximately 50 men are working for J.A. Terteling and Sons at the main canal.
Despite the mud, Brady Construction Co. reports good progress with 40 to 50 men at work on the FPHA temporary project for veteran's housing.
All buildings are up and the last of the roof sheeting was put on this week. Roofing contractors began work this week.
Total number of units when completed will be 30 instead of 42 as originally planned. Rising costs made the $20,285 available insufficient to complete the original project, necessitating a cut of 12 family units, according to Jesse Epstein, regional FPHA director.
The News was unable to contact other construction companies with projects in this area.
