School Building Project  Launched for Collinsville
Collinsville ~ The Collinsville school project was launched Tuesday morning with J.W. Becket of the works projects administration in charge. Eighty men were assigned for the project and it is estimated that the number will reach 125
next week.
Construction will begin March 2.  The Collinsville gymnasium is being partitioned into classrooms and these will be used for high school purposes. 
Two town residences have been secured and equipped for elementary school.

The launching of this building program began last summer when Ethel, Welch and Lovejoy common school districts consolidated with the Collinsville Independent School.  The building includes the construction of a 19-room school
building with auditorium which seats 500, refinishing the present gymnasium, construction of a lunch room and
agricultural building, bush sheds and the building of an athletic stadium.  The total cost of the project will be $115,000, including WPA aid.
