The e25. 600 bogds can be sold for
vt little over $4,000 in cash. The

The experience Of neighboring towns
ought to serve ss guide to ne. W.ths
n. has built house for $40 600 or sl2
900. and thought she vas getting q large
house cheaply. Dat We understand the
feeling there is. that they had bes.er spent
moro money. and got house tbst would
have given mn,e ss'i-faction. Troy has
spsn, $4,000 OF $4,000. anl has not
got such hou,e a. we nee \: anil even that
is unfinished Hiawatha has spent nearly
the same an ,unt. an has not got such q
house as we need. Seneca commenced
on about sl2 coo. spen; about sl7. 900
before she W as through with it. and is not
now sati.6ed with her bargain. Com
mencing on the cheap. and patching mp
year after year. is the most costly kind
Of building. and q regular old trap is the
result.
The house would b. paid for gradually
extending over . petbd Of twenty years,
and the expense would not be seriously
felt 10 any one year; and the greater part
Of the burden would fall upoa those who
come in hereafter. On the other band
besides the benefit that the house would
be to the town. the immediate pecuuisry
advantage to the community would be an
important item. The contract. OF course,
would be let to the lowest responsible
| bidder. Our own mechanics would o,
least stand Q chance of securing it; but
some one from abroad might be the sue
cessful man. Bat be be from White
Clond or elsew where. there would be $50,
600 in cash. brought here from SOM
other place, and at least $4,000 Of j
wonld be expended in this commonly
This $4,000 or more would be put ii
circulation st 6 time when it is bsdll
needed. and would be paid back little b!
little in twenty years.
The person who secured the contract
would have to purchase his brick here
would undoubtedly purchase . consider
able portion. If not oil. his lnmber here
wonld employ his hauling and his labo
here; and would call to his aid the serv
ices OF . number Of mechanics here. s.
that lsboring men. mechanics. bricl
mskers. lumhermen. and many Others
would find employ ment. snd other branch
ss Of business would be benefited direct
iy or indirectly. Therefore. every labor
ing man and mechanic should vote 70
the bonds.
Poor men with families should vot
for the bonds. The poor man ia not abl
10 give his children an education beyon
what is afforded in the free public schools
Th.t they cannot be deprived of. Tb
better the schools. the better the education
his children will receive. The glory @
New England is her free public schools
The Graded or Union Schools of Ohi
now afford free education almost eqns
to College. Let rs reach that s,andsr
as FAST as we are able; and then the poo
man. who is not able to give his chiidre
. college education. can at least spproscl
something near it; and there will be q
necessity for people to send their childre
of to receive sn education which the
cannot obtain here. costing them hundred
of dollars annu.lly. Bot We cannot bsv
such school. Is long as our District
with 400 children. hss house that wi
acco ate less than 200. with dam
basement rented here and there. in whic
to ruin the health Of the small childrer
that should be most tenderly cared for.
Some have insisted that The Boar
should exhibit plan Of the honse The
propose to build. and let the public kno'
where it Is to be located, that they ms
know wha. they are voting for. The
should recollect that It will cost som'
thing TO procure plans Of such building
and the Directors do not feel like gettin
them ct their own risk. a. they woul
have the bill to foot. in case the peop
voted down the bonds. No person woul
be so unreasonable as to ask that.
Bot il the bonds arc voted, the Boar
propose to build house two stories
height. With basement for heating sppa
ratios, fuel. etc. The whole house wi
be heated from furnace in the bssemen
and will be ventilated with the most iM
proved sppssatus, thus securing . un
form Temperature. and rendering the chi|
dren less liable to severe colds snd oths
ailments from sudden changes. fros
dsmpnesa, cold. or want Of air. Th
