| Issuing of Bonds Discussed ut q
Meeting of school BOard-Other
News.
| At a recent meeting of the Board of
Education plans were discussed for
issuing bonds for the erection of a
new school building in Central Ben
wood and it was finally decided to
have the necessary steps taken to
place the matter before the voters Of
Union district at the next election.
The idea is to sell bonds to the
amount of $4,000, to run twenty
years at a rate of interest not higher
than five per cent. 1t is expected
that these bonds will bring good
premium and it may be possible to
lower the rate of interest By issuing
bonds it will not be necessary to in
crease the taxes for building pur-
poses. The present levy yields an in
come of about $4,000 annually, while
| the re-assessment and the increase in
the valuation of property will add
considerably to the total amount.
About $4,000 will be required annually
to pay. the interest and principal,
leaving $4,000 for the actual running
expenses 1t is the intention to build
modern structure, which will meet
all requirements for years to come.
At the Junction and also at one or two
other places in the district, school
buildings are badly needed and may be
erected out of this fund. 1t is thought
that at the end Of the school year on
July LIST that the district will be en-
tirely exempt from debt.
