BUT NO PLAN WAS SUGGESTED

With Supt woodley as spokesman,
the entire body Of school
trustees, T. A. Hightower, Her
man Katz, George Komp, ].
R. Talley and e. L. Robbins, ac-
companied by the special committee
of the Commercial Club set the ball in
motion for new High School at the
last meeting of the new City Commis-
sion.
The demand for a new school, the
need for it and the loss because OF
there being no accommodations for
the many scores who now crowd the
second floor of Pine street business
lblock, were discussed at length.
How are we going about it?" asked
one of the Commission.
None of the trustees had a solution
of the problem and all agreed that
the matter was simply put up to Hat
tiesburg's new government to solve as
quickly as possible. Bonds, special
school tax and other plans were dis
cussed in detail.
The city's revenues, it was stated,
y are about $4,000 per year. 1t takes
q" about $4,000 to pay interest on bonds
II outstanding, another $4,000 for the
- city schools, while on the balance $780,
IL 600 the entire city, police, fire, streets,
sanitary and other departments must
u be operated. The bond limit has been
VI reached and the commission, it is un
III derstood, is not partial to any plan tc
increase the bonded indebtedness
even if this were possible.
A special levy has been suggested
but it is claimed this would fail Z
pass on a vote by the people, If pre-
v cedent is anything to go by.
l Commissioner Fuller, who has beel
steadily at work since going into Of
fee on Jan. 1, studying the citys
nances, revenues, expenditures, asset
=" and liabilities, has taken up the ma
ter of the new school and at the Eel
