LOOK FOR A. PARK.

1
! Spartanburg has gotten to be a
pretty good sized town, with her pros
pects for continued growth rosy.
without having taken any very salts
i factory steps towards making certain
that in the future she will be proper
ly supplied with parks. 1t strikes lis
that this matter is one that might be
given consideration. If We will con-
slider the great number Of little chill
dren who may be seen on summer at
te1noons making East Main street and
other resident streets Of the city, with
their dust laden atmosphere, their
play ground, the need of an attrac-
tive park accessible from the resi-
dence section will be impressed up
on us. And this need is going to be-
come greater as the city grows.
The above is a clipping from the
Spartanburg Herald. The same might
be applied to Newberry, and we are
glad to say that it seems that one
portion Of our town at least is to be
furnished with this much desired
pleasure resort.
Mr.. Z. F. Wright, president Of the
Newberry Cotton mills, has under way
plans for beautiful park over near
the mill village. This plot has been
planted in grass and flowers, and a
large and commodious pavilion is be-
ing erected, and will be formally op-
ened on May 1st. At which time the
Daughters of Rebecca will serve a
supper. A more accurate description
will be given Of this park when it is
better developed. We are glad the
Newberry Cotton Mill has taken this
step as it is a move in the right direc-
ton. There should be several small
parks in different parts Of the city.
The pine grove in rear of Mr.. O McR.
Holmes residence would make an
ideal park and be convenient to a
large residence section.
If the city could acquire the land
adjoining the north fork of Scott 5
creek from the railroad to Glenn
street and plant it in shade trees and
grass it would add greatly to the
beauty of that section, be conducive
to health and at the same time a nice
park.
The Mollohon, Mill has nice nat
ural park and with little work a
very pretty park could be made.
The work Of the Newbery Mill in
this matter will be an object lesson
and We hope will lead to other parks.
President Wright is to be commended
for the interest he is taking in the
comfort and pleasure of those who
work in his mill

THE SCHOOL BONDS.

extension of our graded school sys-
TEN.
There seems to be some misunder-
standing among some Of our people
as to the additional levy for mainten-
ance which goes with this act. The
levy does net go unless the bonds
are voted but if majority Of the
qualified electors in this school dis
trict should vote in favor Of issuing
$4,000 worth Of bonds for the cree
tion Of additional school buildings
then they also vote for an additional
levy of two mills for the maintenance
Of the schools.
It is as plainly stated in this act
as it is possible to state anything. So
that there may be no mistake We
quote from the act: "In the event
said bonds are voted there shall be
levied an annual tax Of two mills on
the taxable property in the district
which shall be used by said trustees
in paying the expenses Of conducting
the schools of said district, which tax
shall be in addition to the tax now le-
We'd for said purpose and which may
be increased, decreased or repeal of
the tax now levied to pay the expen-
ses Of conducting the schools Of said
DISTRICT
The wording at the conclusion of
this provision is somewhat buugled
and we called attention to one Of the
trustees to it, and he stated that the
act was passed just as we printed 1t
though it was intended to read at the
conclusion as follows: (which may
be increased, decreased Or repealed as
the tax now levied to pay the expenses
of conducting the schools Of said dis
triet.' Reading this way it makes
sense and is clear that this two mills
is in addition to the two mills now
levia1 for this district.
If these bonds are voted the tax
payer should remember that he IS
also voting two mills additional tax
for the maintenance of the schools.
It will be remembered that when
our school system was first establish
ed the provision Of the law was that
this tax which was levied at that time
for the maintenance of the school Was
voted annually. Some years ago that
provision was changed so as to avoid
the necessity Of am annual election,
and thereafter if it was desired to
reduce. or increase, or repeal the Tax
a special election could be ordered
for that purpose.
If this bond issue is voted this two
mill additional tax Will be in the same
condition and may be increased, d..
creased, or repealed by 2 special
election.
There can be no doubt in the mind
of any one that Newberry<needs adj
.. ,ditional school facilities. It seems to
US, however, that in our present con-
dition it would have been better to
have voted $4,000 for additional
buildings and then voted an addition
al tax for maintenance sufficient to
pay the expense Of the school.
We are obliged to have our sewer
ace. system extended and our streets
need more work, and we think that
with $4,000 We could have increased
the Schools without detriment to any
body and the running expenses might
be met with a less levy than two
mills. At any rate it was not wise to
put the additional levy for mainten-
ance in the proposition to put up ad-
ditional buildings. If this PROPOSE
ton should be voted down on the 24th
