VOTE FOR THE BOND ISSUE.

AS will be seen by notice published
elswhere in this issue, the trustees OF Mont
pelier independent school district have
called special election for Tuesday, Feb.
%, at which the qualified electors will be
asked to authorize the trustees to issue
bonds in the sum of $21 900. The trustees
request that the electors grant them this
authority for two reasons.
First, for the purpose of refunding the
outstanding bonds of former districts Nos.
10 and 10, which comprised the territory
embraced in the independent district
These bonds should have been refunded at
the time the two districts were consolidated.
These bonds are drawing considerable
higher rate of interest than which new
bonds can be sold for and by refunding them
the district will be able to save several
hundred dollars year in interest This IS
purely business proposition and no tax
payer should vote against it,
Second, the trustees ask for an addition
al bond issue of 81 900 for the purpose of
completing and equipping the magnificent
high school building. Two years ago the
trustees were authorized to issue bonds in
the sum of SIS, OO0 which was the limit that
could be issued at that time. These bonds
were taken by the state land board at 81
per cent interest. With the money the
trustees purchased site and have erected
thereon a school building that is a credit to
the community. When they began to figure
on the cost Of building the trustees found
that after purchasing the site, for which
they paid $780, the balance of the bond
issue would not enable them to erect a build
ing that would fulfill the future require
ments Of the district. Rather than to go
ahead with building which could nave
been erected for $17, $50, the trustees de-
cided to erect one which, when entirely
completed, would meet the requirements
for many years to come, and to trust to the
loyalty of the citizens of Montpelier to
grant them power to issue more bonds when
needed with which to complete the building.
The building has been paid for as far
as completed, which includes the four low
err rooms and one room in the basement.
But with these additional rooms, tbs schools
are now crowded, and more room must be
provided for next year. The only way this
can be done is by completing the high
school building and to do this the trustees
ask for this bond issue. Without it, the
high school, which is now well organized
and has an enrolment of 36, will be greatly
