Some Want Cheap School House

Some of the taxpayers, who are OPP
posing the proposed issue of bonds for
the building of a county high school
building, are free t9 admit that the
construction of hikh school building
is a necessity but they object to the a
mount of the PROPOSED bonds sl6,O on
the ground that, lin their judgment, a
building can be put up for less money
that will answet all the needs of the
high school.
Of course building can be put up
for less money if the people want it
but do the Taxpayers of the county
want such county building as these
parties seem to think could be con-
structed for less money than the a
mount of the proposed bonds? The
school board did not believe that the
Taxpayers would be satisfied with a
building that could be built for very
much less than $4,000 and that was
the only reason for deciding on sub
mitting this amount to vote.
These parties must remember that in
the first place block of ground must
be purchased on which to erect the
building. Then the progressive tax
payers of the county would never be
satisfied with county high school build
ing that was not better building than
the present Holyoke school building and
by the time the ground is purchased,
such building as would be satisfaac-
tory to majority of the taxpayers
constructed, an up-to-date heating plant
installed and the building furnished for
the occupancy of the school there will
he very small balsnce if any of the
proposed $4,000.
, OF course the board might have sub
mitted proposition to vote only $4,000
in bonds, gone ahead End put up the
building and then made levy OF mills
on the dollar, as the board now has
power to do, till the balance of the debt
for the construction Of the building was
paid but the board did not do so for the
reason that they took it for granted
that the taxpayers of the county were
not anxious for any such a present in
crease in their taxes as the mill levy
would cause but would much prefer
that the whole cost of the building
should be placed in bonds in order that
I is bond debt should be paid later or
by a levy OF tax on the increased val
uation of property rather than by levy
on the present valuation.
If these objecters to the SIG, 900 bond
issue know that n building satisfactory
to the taxpayers Of the county can be
constructed for an amount Of money
enough less than the amount Of the
proposed bonds to justify voting down
the proposition FOR an issue Of $4,000
in bonds; then they should by all means
vote against the present bond PROPOSE
ton. 1t is the business of the county
high school board to carry out the wish
Of n majority of he taxpayers of the
county in this rpfitter and that wish viii
be made knoyh at the election next
Tuesday. The veters should, however,
give this matter careful consideration
before voting.

$4,000 Hands Up.

What are the people Of Phillips, coun-
ty thinking of to contemplate building
n county high school house that costs
that enormous amount? The idea Of
building four rooms when we only need
two rooms. Yes. ! realize our school Is
continually growing but we won't need
that much room for five years yet.
Well. I'm going TO vote down that
proposition for my taxes will be so high
that know can't pay half Of them.
Wore so In debt now.
Did you ask me to consider this ques-
ton carefully Yes, I'm not hasty.
I'm just II anything. Those bonds will
be payable in Is years. Why, the In
tcrest will be $500 besides the principal.
Ny quarter Of land is assessed at $500
and my stock and improvements at 5000.
That makes me $500 assessed valuation
Did you say that since the valuation Of
this county Is over million, that the
interest could be paid OF with mill on
the dollar. Well. want to know just
how much Of this I'm to pay for. $500
times mill which is whewl- only 5Oe
and I'm as wealthy as the average far
mcr too. Why. nj that rate the whole
indebtedness could be paid off for two
mills in fifteen years.

osition. seemed 10 feel the whole re-
