Description

New Primary School
To Be Built In Spring
On Venturacci Place
Preliminary plans for a new primary school building, to be constructed next spring and summer near the northwest outskirts of Fallon, were studied at a meeting of the Churchill county board of education Monday night.
The new four-classroom structure will be to 'house first and second youngsters living north of 1 Williams avenue, and will be located on a five-acre
tract bought by the school district last July from Ed Venturacci.
The land is located immediately north of the railroad track and along the east side of Venturacci lane. which runs north from U. S. 50 on the east side of the Lariat motel.
Architects Alegre and Harrison are expected to proceed shortly
with actual plans for the structure, which will cost an estimated $80,000 to $90,000. The job will be financed from money remaining from the last bond issue plus government aid funds available.
Supt. Jack Davis describes the new building as "a must" for next fall, and said that final plans should be completed and construction under way by next March.
With the new building, it still will be necessary to use two classrooms at the Oats Park quonset hut because of crowded conditions.
The northwest area location was selected because of growth to the north and west of Fallon, and as a safety factor in providing a school for first and second graders north of Williams avenue, thereby eliminating the necessity for these children to cross the busy thorough-
fare.
Should the building not be completely filled next fall by youngsters from nearby area, some bus students will be brought there to attend school.
