the law of 1874. counties have the
right to invest their sinking fund in
county, state, or school district bonds.
This county has now something
over twenty thousand dollars in the
sinking fund and as all but twelve
Thousand of county bonds will not be
due until 1918, and these twelve not
until 1908 and we would have ami lie
time to raise this anount), We are
now getting 2 per cent. on county de-
posts. If the county commissioners
would make arrangements with the
directors of this school district TO re-
fund these bonds At 4 per cent, il
would mean a saving To- this district
of 1910 per year. The county, having
SIS, 800 invested at per cent. instead
of at per cent, will be having an
income from this sinking fund of $740
instead of 1910. The school district
will save S105 per year, on the $40, 500
per cent. bonds, and $3.50 per year
on the $4,000 6 per cent. bonds, or a
total saving to the county of $685.
per year, besides keeping all interest
money in the county.
The expense incurred would only be
the cost of having new bonds printed.
These would be made optional at any
time after five years, and a very
small interest levy for the district
say 14mills--would be sufficient to
pay the interest. We now levy 3
mills. aud in 1901 it was 5 mills.
S., 500 of the bonds issued to the state
have been paid from the sinking fund
on hand at various times.
Our school houses are credit to
our town, and any movement made TO
lower the tax in this county will GER
tainly be appreciated by every tax
payer. Another saving for this dis
trict would be furnaces put in both
school houses. The difference in the
amount OF fuel used would pay for the
furnaces in two years and be much
greater comfort to teachers and
scholars. q p. KETELSON.
