UPDATE ON MELVIN RNAPP EXPANSION
Mr. Jack McGuff, architect, outlined the progress on the expansion of ""'►
the Senior Citizens' facility. He proposed advertising dates for bids
of August 28 and September 4 with an opening date of September 18.
Hopefully, a contractor will be selected at the Council meeting of
September 23, with the contract being signed by the 30th of September.
A estimated cost of $2.50 a square foot for construction was suggest-

felt he would be receptive to this.
