OGALLALA-Superintendent James Brisson has sug
gested to the Ogallala Board of Education that they con
sider ways of closing West Ward School before something
happens."
The building, which currently houses fourth, fifth and
sixth grades and special education classes, was built in
1910. It has been remodeled several times in the last 15
years to comply with state fire marshals' orders.
"West Ward has been a sore spot since I've been here,"
Brisson said. "Parents invariably mention closing West
Ward as a top priority whenever we poll them."
The removal of West Ward from the school building
inventory was a primary item in a school bond issue de
feated by Ogallala votes in November. It was also one of
the goals of a bond issue defeated in 1975.

School board president Del Hunt said at a board meet
ing Monday that it appeared that concern about raising
taxes was the primary reason for the failure of the recent
bond issue.
The board discussed several possible alternatives to
house elementary students displaced by closing West Ward
School that would not require additional district indebt
edness. -.. -f
' Brisson suggested that the junior and senior high stu
dents might be put on split sessions. The junior high build
ing could then be utilized for fourth, fifth and . sixth
grades. The use of additional trailer Classrooms or renting
space was also discussed. ;

No decision on trucks
DES MOINES-No decision has been made on appeal
ing to the U.S. Supreme Court a federal court ruling per
mitting 65-foot twin trailer trucks on Iowa interstate
highways, the state attorney general's office said Wednes
day. Bill Roach, administrative assistant to Attorney Gen
eral Tom Miller, said the decision may have to await the
next meeting of the Iowa Transportation Commission
next Tuesday.
"We anticipate Bob Goodwin will discuss the possibili
ty of appeal with the commission at its next meeting,"
Roach said.
Goodwin is the special assistant attorney general who
argued the state's appeal of the federal court ruling before
the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis.
The appeals court on Monday upheld the ruling by
U.S. District Judge William Stuart that the Iowa law limit
ing twin trailer, or double bottom, truck length to 60 feet
imposes an impermissible burden on interstate commerce.
Stuart ruled the Iowa law cannol be enforced on inter
state highways, and a three-judge Court of Appeals panel
agreed. .

gestion that the State Claims Board and the new Crime
Victims' Reparations Board be merged, as representatives

down cruise." ,';
Verne Moore, Jr., chairman of the crime victims' com
pensation body, said legislative intent in 1978 clearly was
to have a separate board. He was receptive, however, to

tigate claims, , :. ; .ru ; y;. '
Three alternatives proposed for committee considera
tion were nierger, increased funding. for full-time claims
investigation' and increased funding for' in-house legal
counsel. ! - '

tion this calendar year, had paid out $6,518 in claims by
