SCHOOL BOARD
HAS DECIDED TO
CALL ELECTION
VOTERS OF CITY WILL DECIDE
ON SUM TO BE DEVOTED TO
THE SCHOOLS.
Special Election to Be Held to De-
eide whether or Not City Will Give
Two-tenths of One Per Gent to the
School Fund.

The voters of the city of Brunswick
Will be called upon to decide whether
or not the city government is Iu
hereafter pay to the board of educa-
ton of Glynn county two-tenths of one
per cent of its taxable values or to
continue donating to the board the
amount which has geen appropriated
from year to year.
Definite action on this subject was
taken at the regular monthly meeting
Of the board yesterday, w.,1en Il was
decided to call an election, under a
recent act of the legislature, which
provides for an election in the city
to provide funds for the schools.
The matter was thoroughly discuss
ed by the members of the board yes
terday and it was agreed that an cleo
ton was the only plan left whereby
the educational interests of the city
could secure funds sufficient to main
tain the public schools on the high
standard which they are conducted.
At present the city of Brunswick
pays for the maintenance of her pub
lie schools $4,000 annually, in addi-
tion to the lease money received from
the rental of Town Commons, aggre-
eating practically $1,000 annually. In
recent years, however, this sum has
been added to by an additional ap-
preparation, but still the entire sum
is not all that the schools shoald re-
ceive, it is claimed, and recently the
board of education has been solving
i rather knotty problem in endeavor-
ing to meet all of it's obligations.
1t has not yet been decided when
the proposed election will be held.
A special registration will be necessary
and two-thirds vote is required to
carry the election.
At thine meeting yesterday Presi-
I dent A. " Wood, of the board, and
Superintendent N. H. Ballard were ap-
pointed as a committee tcl take the
matter in charge.
W. B. Cook, elected a member of
, the board by city council last week to
succeed N. Emanuel, was present yes
terday, and he was appointed chair
man of the finance committee.
