WEEKLY INDEPENDENT.
OBJECTIONS ANSWERED..

From various sources we learn that
there is opposition TO the county high
school proposition on the grounds
that the tax for it's erection and sup
port will be burdensome and that the
funds for the support Of the school
will be taken from the general school
fund Of the county to the disadvant-
age OF the country schools.
II the proposition should receive a
majority OF the votes cast on the 18th,
it will be the dutyof the Commission
eB to provide the funds necessary for
the erection Of asuitable building and
TO conduct the school for the first year.
This, the law provides shall be done
by a direct tax upon the property OF
the county.
Should the Commissioners come to
the conclusion that the amount nee
essary to build and equip the school
and run it for the first year would be
too heavy a tax upon the people, they
are authorized to issue bonds not to
exceed s10. 0OO, payable in ten years
The assessed valuation OF the coun.
ty this year will certainly reach e.
100000. a tax Of ten cents Oh each
800 would raise at least 1880 which
wonld furnish the building and pay
all the running expenses for the first
year. The addition OF the extra ten
cents to the rate already levied would
make a tax rate OF slGO .or this year
as against s1.G5 for 1894.
1t is also safe TO say that when the
school il once started a tax OF eight
cents on the 800 will be amply SUI
ticient to pay of the bonds as they
fall due and furnish funds enough to
pay the yearly running expenses Of
the school.
SO far as tho second objection Is
concerned there is nothing in it as
the law provides that the funds for the
support OF the school must be raised
by a direc. tax upon the property Of
tho county. Not a cent Of the county
and State school fond will be taken
to support the high SCHOOL. No in.
jury will be done to the country dis.
tricts. but ON the contrary. the boys
and girls now attending these schools
will be admitted free TO the high
school on passing the required exam
inntion.
