DeGree Construction Co. of Bend, Oregon, will construct a $69,895 four classroom school building at Warm Springs, Oregon, under a contract awarded by the Indian Bureau, the Department of the Interior announced today.
Six other contractors submitted higher bids ranging from $77,500 to $94,937.
Approximately 230 pupils are now enrolled in the Warm Springs School which is operated by the Indian Bureau. New classrooms will relieve an overcrowded condition, and, in keeping with the Bureau's aim to provide adequate educational opportunities for Indians, the additional space will permit the school to meet standards set by the State of Oregon.
