Assistant Supt. Seabie
Hickson Tuesday that
federal impact funds ap
proved under public law 874
for the county school system
in the amount of $593,000 had
not been received.
Numerous telephone calls to
Washington confirmed the
fact that the only holdup on
the funds was “getting the
information into the com
puter system and the check
written.” In the meantime,
bills must be paid, Hickson
said, and the board
authorized borrowing up to
$200,000 next week, if
necessary, to tide the system
over until the money is
received.
Supt. David A. Perdue
proposed that the Perry High
School cafeteria, where an
addition is being con
structed, be air conditioned,
using capital funds, and that
capital funds in the amount
of $41,000 be used to put
permanent seats in Perry
High School Stadium. The
seats were promised the

missioners heard a report
from county building in
spector Fred Beard Monday
night that $1,382,300 is a

figure” on the amount of

Beard said that 102

issued at a cost of $4,173. He

commercial, with most of
the remainder single family
