About four years ago the Indepen-
dent District of Gray voted to bond
itself for 50. 500 for the erection of q
new school house. The house was
built and special tax of ten mills
has been voted each year since to pay
off the bonds. This has done so we'll
that with the tax now voted the
khool board will be able next spring
to take up all but about 5000. OF the
bonds This will probably be ar
ranged for in the regular way so that
henceforth the taxes in Gray will be
lower. Ia fact, from present pro-
spects Gray will have the lowest
/, tax for value given of any town in
the county. With the excellent
schools that Gray has, it seems to be
one of the coming towns. You know
it was one Of the two towns in the
county that increased in population
during the last five years.
