Upon motion, duly seconded and by unanimous vote, Council approved for submittal an Application for a Loan from the Literary Fund of Virginia for $248,050 by the School Board for Phase II-B for the removal of asbestos at Albert Harris School. Mr. Harold Lamm, Superintendent of City Schools, explained that this application needed to be filed at this time so the actual work could be done during the summer months. He noted that there would be one more application like this for Albert Harris School. Mr. Lamm stated that the $248,050 was an high estimate of the cost to ensure that enough money would be available for the project. When the bids are received for the work, then a revised figure will be submitted to the State, which should be less than this projection.
