VICTORIA @—The B.C. gov-

signal to $9,000,000 worth of
school building projects through-
out the province, Education
Minister Tilly Rolston an-
nounced Wednesday.

The cost will be borne equally
by the government and 30 school
districts with projects already
planned.

The projects, she said, are in
various stages of planning, au-
thorizing, tendering, and cou-
struction. Permission will be
sent to the school boards shortly
to proceed with approved plans.

“This will complete the 1952
school building program, al-
though a good deal of the money
will not be spent until next
year,” Mrs. Rolston said.
