Odessa has voted $4,000 for q new sch0O
building, This il more in proportion Il
wealth than Il, asked tor in Lexington. II /
true that taxes are high, but they Will be de
creased liye or six times Us much next Yea
~ the sChOOl hOus tax will amount to, an,
maybe even more. The present house Is in
adequate IN all respects. II is overcrowded
it is lily ventilated; it is damp; it cannqL b.
Realthtnlly heated with present appliances
the walls shake with every little blow q
wind; it Is badly constructed, and can 0nl,
be deccntly INC idcd with a new one. W
trust no one will array himself against tn
proposition hastily Lexington ~ 100 good
town TO keep its high school children In
barn OF a house. All over Missouri they ar,
doing better than that.
