YOUTH BEAT I AH fOrTION Of TH6 For home delivery of Orlando Sentinel-Telephone 567-5400 April 29, 1970 I 15 Exchaniiellcs Hear About One Mill Tax VERO BEACH A recommended one mill school tax increase to raise funds for a new high school in the north end of the county and an elementary school south of Vero Beach High School was explained to Exchange Club members by Bill Mc-Cure, superintendent of schools Tuesday.

Most of the opposition expressed at the meeting was over architects fees amounting to approximately $228,900 for the two schools. JIM KESSLER, real estate dealer suggested an inquiry be made as to the feasibility of such a law that would require an architect fee whether or not the same plans were used for another school. McClure told the Exchangettes a seven per cent fee was charged by the architects for new plans or five per cent to use the same plans for another school; a savings of only 2 per cent. Kessler also voiced concern with the sotiool system's policy of building custom schools which cost more, he said. IF A standard school building could be planned it would reduce the cost of approximately $5.5 million in construction costs planned for the county during the next five years.

The $5.5 million includes ex-p a i plans for kindergarten classes, exceptional student classes and renovation of existing schools. Figures show the county is faced with iding facilities for kindergarten by 1973 in compliance with a new state law. NO ONE argued over the need for the two new schools in the county after McClure said projected figures show an increase of 600 students in the county over the next five years for the already overcrowded Indian River County schools. Estimated cost for the elementary school is just over $1 million and about $2.5 million for the new high school. McClure said the high school would accommodate approximately 700 students.

The one mill school increase is set for a May 26 referendum. Picnic Amid Litter Six-year-old Melbourne Beach girl tries to picnic with nearby parents amidst litter' everywhere at Sebastian Inlet.
