A special school election was held at the high school building for the purpose of bonding the district for $5,000 and purchasing two sites for new school rooms. The vote was light, with only 56 votes cast, but all three propositions carried by large majorities. The first proposition to purchase four lots in Carson’s addition; the second was to purchase two acres in the northwest portion of the city, and the third was to issue bonds in the sum of $5,000. The school board plans to commence the erection of the new buildings upon the pieces of ground as soon as possible. (Bemidji Daily Pioneer, August 24, 1905)
