The current information isn’t quite right; the PWA did not fund the building of the school, but only financed minor repair. It should read:
The Kamas 6-room grade school was built in 1904 with rock and brick furnished by the school trustees. The school was funded by $10,000 in bonds.
In 1935, the Public Works Administration funded “school repairs” to the Kamas Grade School including roof framing, shingles, flue repair, and foundation plastering under Docket # 1023-R (Utah). The architect of record for the repairs was Ashton and Evans, and the contractor was Shaw and Berntson. The total cost was $17,735 including the repairs at Kamas Grade School and repairs and alterations at Woodland Grade School.
