The school bond passed by the city of Lawrence last night will provide money to build three schools and four major additions to present schools.
"Even with this tax levy of possibly 4.75 mills, the school bord tax here will be substantially less than any time since 1960," said Carl S. Knox, city superintendent of schools.
THE MEASURE passed with 5,221 votes for and 4,382 against in 28 precincts.
This is the first bond to apply to all six school districts as a whole.
Outlying precincts refused the measure, preventing further addition to their raised operative expenses since becoming a unified district.
Knox said, however, that the mill tax levy would probably not be as high as 4.75 mills. The school board is authorized to levy a mill tax of 4 mills anyway, but the additional three-fourths mill was necessary for immediate utilization, he said.
Total project cost summary is $3,800,000, to be repaid over a period of 20 years.
A new elementary school and junior high school will be constructed at the Broken Arrow Park site at estimated costs of $598,744 and $1,833,708 respectively. Logan-Moore elementary school is expected to cost $596,774. Elementary additions and their estimated costs are Kennedy, $72,760; New York, $81,820; Centennial, $38,164. Additions to the senior high school library, cafeteria and dressing room will total $580,000.
CONSTRUCTION OF new schools is slated for completion by September 1968. All additions should be finished by September 1967, Knox said.
A central aim of the bond issue is to maintain the present, favorable student-teacher ratio in Lawrence of 24 students per average classroom. Overcrowding through an estimated enrollment increase from 7,800 to about 9,500 in 1970 should be headed off.
Hopefully, the bond will eradicate present inadequate classroom facilities, such as temporary classrooms and inaccessibility to library facilities, materials and equipment. Too, speech therapists, counselors and consultants will have their own clinics.
'Victory' room empty
No joy in GOP ranks
By STEVE RUSSELL and BETSY WRIGHT
The Florentine Room at the Hotel Jayhawk in Topeka was empty last night.
A sign on the door designated the room as reception headquarters for the State Republican Party.
BUT INSIDE, food on the table in the middle of the room was untouched. Two television sets, one color, donated by a local appliance dealer, were ignored. And chairs lining the perimeter of the room were vacant.
Near the door, a dozen people stood—wondering whether William H. Avery, deposed Kansas governor, would appear.
He didn't, and according to a source in the Governor's office, he wouldn't appear until his regular news conference at 10 a.m. today.
The only announcement from the governor came at about 11 p.m. when he conceded the race to Democrat Robert Docking. In a statement to the press, he offered Docking his support for the transitional period.

Kansas only—
(Continued from page 1)
MINNESOTA
State Democrats said he couldn't do it and they were right, he couldn't. Gov. Karl Rolvaag was defeated in a neck-and-neck race with Republican Harold Le Vander.
Last year a secret meeting of Democrats at Sugar Hills Resort voted to dump the lack-luster Rolvaag for politically ambitious Lieutenant Governor A. M. (Sandy) Keith.
Keith won the party endorsement after a convention dogfight in June. But Rolvaag, who boasted he had "never lost an election," took the issue to the voters in the primary.
Walter F. Mondale, a Democratic senator won re-election easily.
MARYLAND
Republican Spiro T. Agnew won the governorship of Maryland by a narrow margin as voters rejected Democrat George P. Mahoney and his Johnny-one-note campaign designed to bring out the white backlash sentiment.
Mahoney's slogan, and virtually his only stand in the campaign was "your home is your castle—protect it." He promised to veto the state open housing law.
Agnew, late in the campaign, abandoned his usual campaign procedure of issuing statements on the less explosive state issues and took to blasting Mahoney's open-housing stand. That apparently moved the balance of power to Agnew.

Two constitutional amendments pass
Probably the most controversial of the three proposed constitutional amendments, that recommending changes in education articles of the state constitution, was carried 71,680 to 68,021 in 1615 precincts last night.
The amendment changed a section of the constitution that was written more than 100 years ago.
PRIMARILY, the provision calls for replacing the elective state superintendent of public instruction by a 10-member elected state board of education.
It also creates a commissioner of education and does away with all state boards of education with the exception of the state Board of Regents.
The other amendments split one and one. Annual legislative sessions passed 83,280 to 55,053 in 1602 precincts, and income tax conformity failed 69,404 to 64,042 in 1602 precincts.
MOST OF the controversy surrounding the education amendment centered around the 10-
member board of education.
Rural elements in the 1966 session pushed for an elective board while the more urban representatives sought an appointive board similar to that of the Board of Regents.
Under the amendment, the board of education will have policy-making authority with respect to all education with the exception of educational functions delegated to the Board of Regents.
THE 10-MEMBER board will have overlapping terms set down by the legislature with each board member coming from four contiguous senatorial districts. Local school boards will be recognized by the constitution for the first time since statehood.
