A proposition will be submitted to
the voters by the board of directors
authorizing them to bond the indie
pendent School District of Fremont
for $500 for the purpose Of adding
two more rooms to the school building
This action on the part of the board
was not taken on the spur of the mo-
ment, but the matter has been under
consideration from time to time that
the crowded condition of the schools
demanded more room. The district is
practically out of debt, there being
more than enough money in the treas
ury to pay it's obligations, and the
tax of $500, to run for a term OF
years, would make the tax light upon
each individual property holder.
