no school houses, and no ex.
penses except payment of inter-
est on bonds and for retiring
bonds. The only increase of
taxes occasioned by additional
bonding arises from the neces-
sity of raising money to pay the
annual interest and to provide
for the payment Of bonds as they
mature.
The tax levy necessary to pro-
vide for the pay ment of interest
on $4,000 of bonds at 5 percent.
$1,75O) is 1 64-100 mills, and to
provide sinking fund of $1,000
per year to retire these bonds
nine-tenths of a mill. This would
retire $4,000 of these bonds at
their maturity, and the balance
could be rebonded and retired in
such manner as to impose no un-
necessary burden on the present
taxpayers.
About year ago the Board
issued $4,000 of bonds for the
purpose of procuring the two
ward schools, included the tax
levy interest on such additional
bonds, and Notwithstanding that
fact, made the tax levy of that
year $3,100 less than for the
previous year.
In my opinion it would be as
foolish to argue that by doubling
our bonded debt, our taxes would
be "doubled,' as to argue that,
because when the board increased
the bonded debt by $4,000, it re.
duced the tax levy $3,100, there
fore by increasing the bonded
debt $35, ,O0O,our school tax would
be entirely wiped out, and we
would have ''free education" in
every sense of the term.
The board cannot hold out to
the people of Bemidji that by
building high school they will
get something for nothing, but it
is fact and the following figures
will show, that instead of doub-
ling our taxes, the erection of a
high school will increase them
only as above stated.
It is true that $4,000 of bonds
of the district will become due in
1912, but the sinking fund, which
was started in 1904, will retire
So, 900 of them and the $1,000 re-
naming can be rebonded with
out difficulty. The balance of
the bonds mature in 1913, 1914
and 1915.
In case a high school is not
erected it will be necessary to
procure additional and undesir-
able buildings in which to take
care of our pupils, and the addi-
tional expense will so nearly
eq ual the expense of a high school
that from an economic stand
point the saving would be a small
one. Additions to the ward
schools would give shelter to our
pupils, but those who advocate
that solution Of the difficulty
would be loud in denouncing the
management of the schools if
"their children" we're compelled
to walk long distances to one of
the ward schools, when the main
building was near at hand.
Those who share Mr.. Russell's
fear of still additional taxation
for ''sewers, "etc., should remem.
Der that such improvements are
made upon petition of the prop
erty owners desiring the i'm
provements, and are paid out of
the "property benefited.
Yours truly
