Net taxation by this plan....... 1864
Amount saved to the people. $3.50, 760
This would build five new school
houses, costing $4,000 each, with $4,000
to spare. Is it not worth while?
1t should be borne in mind that by
the committees plan we shall have to
raise by taxation in every one of these
ten years $ll,6S0 to pay interest on the
whole principal of the debt, a total of
$ll6,6S0, The additional amount of tax
alton required for eXtinguishing the
debt in ten years is therefore 1856, 240
less SIG, 6S0-$239, $50, or an average of
$2S,956 per year. The additional tax
levy for the first year, which calls for
the largest gross payment, will be $29,-
200 The assessed valuation of real and
personal property in the school district
on the grand list of 1895 was $685. ,4S0
annual report Of the board of educa-
ton, 1896, page 49, A tax of half
mill on this valuation, fifty cents on
thousand dollars, would amount to ST.
1858, almost sufficient to satisfy the pay
ment due. The rest could be saved
somewhere. After a year or two this
tax would be ample, and with increas-
ing valuation and decreasing payments
would be more than enough. This
measures the sacrifice required. Who
will say it is too great? Whose cour-
age fails? Who fiinches?
But if this method seems too drastic.
too heroic, perhaps a plan for paying
the whole in twenty years may be ac-
ceptable to the faint-hearted. This
could be accomplished by a yearly pay
ment of one-twentieth of the principal

LAKE WHITNEY ICE UNSAFE.

If the Present Weather Continues it
Probably Will be Safe in Few Days
Skating Good on Small Ponds--A
Portion of the Green to be Flooded to
Furnish Skating for Children.
The ice on Lake Whitney was yester-
day about two and one-half inches
thick and was smooth but was not
considered safe for skaters, although
about one hundred were enjoying the
sport. superintendent Sanford of the
New Haven Ice company went out on
the lake to investigate the condition of
the ice and found that in many places
there were spring holes where the ice
was very thin and unsafe. In some
places the ice bent so beneath Mr.. San
ford's weight that he was obliged to lay
down and work along to thicker ice.
If the present weather continues the
Zee on Lake Whitney will probably be
in fine condition and safe for skaters
tomorrow.
There is at present good skating on
nearly all the smaller ponds around
New Haven.
If the weather remains cold for few
days Mayor Hendrick will order a por-
ton of the old green flooded for the
children to skate upon.
