FOR A SPECIAL TAX.


To resume the Board of Education petitions
that at least much as was allowed last year
out Of the 81 limit This would allow over s44O.-
OOO and would be a great help toward placing
the old buildings in a sanitary condition. IL
the Supervisors could allow us .0963 cents out
OF the 81 limit last year. how much easier
can they allow Il this year on an increased
valuation Of S43 900 600
In order TO avoid a repetition of this per-
petual controversy I respectfully suggest that
a charter amendment be submitted to a vote OF
the people, providing for fixed tax OF II cents
annually for the support Of the schools, the
same is now done for the park and for tho
public library. by providing a special tax an
nuaIly II a special tax OF cents can be
provided for the peoples pleasure ground why
should not tax of - cents be provided for
the maintenance of their schools? The schools
reach at least as far in their scope as does
The buildings devoted 10 the cause of public
instruction in this city are a disgrace to a
metropolitan city. Our department has re-
peatedly called attention to the cata4trophies
buildings for public school purposes watch arc
absolutely unfit and unsafe. Such condition
of affairs would not 1 am sure, be permitted
TO continue for an hour in any other city
The sanitary conditions of many of our schools
are in violation of every hygienic law. and
our duty is imperative that they should be re-
stored to a condition where the heaIth of our
children shall not be under constant menace
OF disease and epidemic.
T,.s Board of Education will do its best with
the funds that are allowed but with yearly
increasing demands upon 1t, and the old build
ings unrepafred, IL can barely get along Inn
portant repairs and Improvements must Re
made at all cost and II this boord must run
short Of funds through the blindness Of some
OF the Supervisors It might be COM
PEELED as a last resort to close the schools for
a time in order to save the monay needed for
these urgent repairs. The members of the
Board of Education assumed their duties with
a fixed determination to dedicate every effort
TO the urlifting OF the conditions OF the
teachers and other employees o.. the depart-
ment as well as of the children, and suitable
