I ft If I BRADENTON A resurvey of drainage needs around the extensive campus of Manatee Area Vocational-Technical Center has been authorized by the school board here. The project, to cost a maximum of $3,000, was recommended for the growing facility by both the administration and by project architect Douglas Croll. According to Dr. Oscar E. Hamilton, assistant superintendent for noninstructional purposes, the development of a master drainage plan for the whole area is a "must" before further building and parking lot development can go forward.

Hamilton said that the land surrounding the multi-acre campus south of Bayshore has changed drastically in character of drainage since MAVTC was first conceived in the mid-1900's and that the drainage of the site itself must, of necessity, change so that the whole area can be coordinated into a proper drain pattern. The center is growing at a rapid rate. Phase III of the project, a new agriculture education center and nursing facility, are ahead of schedule on construction but the parking, for these new areas should wait until proper drainage for the whole complex can be devised. Tribute Bureau BRADENTON The Manatee County School Board has asked the county commission to help in getting a dusty street past Daughtry Elementary School paved for health and safety reasons. In a resolution approved Friday, the board requested the paving of 5th Street East from Little Pittsburgh Road to Saunders Road and to have the job high on the county priority list.

"This should be given priority over all other projects for the paving or other road improvements in the county," the bard said. In other action Friday, the board approved the concept of naming a top business and profesional panel to study ways of raising several million dollars to bring the county schools The board also: Approved taking part in several programs for disadvantaged children and migrants.

Kinney has been named to design the new elementary school for Manatee County to be east of the Braden River. Kinney, a veteran in his profession, got the nod on a 3-2 vote-when School Board Chairman Dr. Robert White sided with board" members Mary Yelvington and Alan Murray against William Lacy and Ted Griffin. Lacy had opposed the appointment because Kinney, when interviewed, hadn't come up with drawings or costs for the new facility. He was opposed in his reluctance by School Supt.

Dr. William H. Bashaw who noted an architect can't be reasonably expected to design and cost out a facility without either being hired or furnished exact specifications. According to Lacy, he wanted to wait until' Kinney had done the design and costing before giving him the nod to design the new school which has been dictated for the area. Lacy's contention also included a jab against the board's policy of hiring local architects when possible.

He cited cases where other local architects had made mistakes on other projects. YAM Leader Says Manatee I In Brief LiJ State Funds Unequal minantly white Florida State University.

Division Director Louie L.
