regret. Thus far the board OF educa-
tlon has complied strictly with the law
in the creation and setting aside Of
sinking fund for the redemption of the
bonds hitherto issued. Never has 10
become delinquent In any respect. 1t
has always held the confidence Of the
people. and 1t still enjoys that distinct
Tfon. But what The people want to
KNOW, and what they have a right to
know, Is tho exact status Of the bond
ed Indebtedness as 1t now exists. and
specifically what is to be done with the
none that may come from the lssu-
anca and sale OF additional bonds. In

they have done so. vote favorably upon

taxation revenue will be sufficient to
wipe out the Indebtedness through an
augmented sinking fund, without add

pretty well tired OF the bonding ques-
