Motor Boats to Help Bring Children to School
Chimney Rock, N.C.,
June 11—The Rutherford County Board of Education will shortly let the contract
for the construction of a $42,000 school building in the Luremont district
overlooking Lake Lure, on a commanding site recently donated for this purpose
by a group of community friends.
Plans call for this
building to conform to the Northern Italian type of architecture which prevails
at Lake Lure, and the new school project adds one more unit to the general
building program embracing scores of structures now under way. The school
building with a capacity of 336 pupils is being designed to serve eventually as
a graded school, but will be used during the coming fall semester as a high
school. The elementary school will be located on lots 15, 16 and 17 in block 4
of the Luremont section at the junction of State Highway 20 and the Joel
Chandler Harris scenic drive.
This particular
location will be served not only by paved streets and roads, but by reason of
the site overlooking Lure Lake itself, it will be feasible to operate large
capacity motor boats which will supplement the use of the familiar school
buses. This makes possible transportation accommodations for a school area
twice as large as any now in operation in this state.
The Chimney Rock
office of G. Lloyd Preacher, well-known Atlanta architect, is completing plans
for the school, actual construction of which is scheduled to start at once so
as to be ready for use this fall.
