Report of Ways and Means Committee
OF Board of Education ~ TO whether
funds can be made ay0ilable for put
ting up q New High School Building {;
On May 20, 1875, the Board OF Educa-
tiOn passed resolution proposing TO
expend on buildings and sites 100000,
This was ratified by the citizens AZ an
election held June 7, 1875, Your COM
mittee lind upon an examination OF the
accounts that from September |, 1875,
to date there has been expended for
school buildings, sites and furniture,
$7l ,S47 80.
The amount Of money received In
bonds seems TO foot say $78,8iSOO,
Some Of the bonds were renewed and
the method Of keeping the accounts was
not such as that we could trace renew
ais certainly, consequently we may be
wrong as TO the amount OF money re-
ceiyed on bonds, but figuring from the
account Of building and sites, the
amount that the new bonds could be
issued for would be but 1923, 1852 67, or II
from bond account but S23,65200, In
either case not enough TO pay the cost
of new high school building such as
the board desire TO erect. ---.J
The statute provides that school boards
can anticipate for building purposes q
portion Of the levy for one year In ad.
vance, but your committee understand
that for the next year the board has
already asked for the largest amount
that can he assessed In one year, hence
any amount that you use for buildings
In 1885, out OF the levy, must come out
Of The 7 mills already levied, and II will
take for current expenses, maturing
bonds, interest, etc., tho whole mills,
nothing can be directed from that
source, SO you will be confined under
present authority TO the difference be-
tween 100000 and what has been spent
on building aud sites since 1875, VIZ
II l,Si733) which IL $g8, 1897.
This being insufficient the only
method your committee zee for obtain.
Ing means 10 build with, IL TO submit
the question TO a vote OF the citizens
asking authority to raise the amount by
Issuing bonds.
Respectfully snbmitted,
