which needs are becoming more
and more imperative, year by
year Unfortunately for the
tax payers of the county, this
year or two, probably. will be
very hard time to pay addit-
ional taxes, and in the mean
time the seven or eight thousand
dollars raised annually will be
idle and doing nobody any good
until the whole sum is raised.
Would it not be better to take
this seven or eight thousand dol
lars and add to it from twenty
to twenty five Thousand by an
issue of county high school
bonds?
There are several substantial
advantages to-. be gained by
this plan. The building fund
levy could be postponed to bet
ter times, or reduced to a small
annual Interest levy. The fund
already raised could be set to
work Immediately. The build
ing could be erected in the spring
and be ready for school before
winter, perhaps before the be-
ginning of the next school year.
Labor and materials are lower
now than they have been for
some time and probably lower
than they will be later on and
contractors bids will be lower
because of the further reason
jobs are few and competition
keen. If built now it would pro-
vide labor at fair wages at time
when work and wages are most
needed. If put off until times
are better. both labor and ma
terfals will be higher. For ex-
ample: The courthouse was built
during period of hard times.
We got a good job at low price,
and it was paid for within twenty
years without hardship. The
courthouse would have cost
probably twice as much if it had
been built at any time within the
last few years.
County high school bonds can
be sold at par at not more than
five per cent interest The as
SesSed valuation of the county. is
about ten and one-half million
dollars. Allowing one-half mil
lion dollars for depreciation we
still have a valuation of ten mil
lion dollars. A tax levy Of only
one-tenth of one mill would pay
the annual interest on bond
issue of $4,000. A levy of one
fifth of one mill would pay the
annual interest on $4,000 and
pay off bond of 81, 900 every
year. A gradually decreasing
levy would pay off the whole
debt in twenty years. Would
it not be better to spread the
debt out over a period of twenty
years, some of which are bound
to be good" for years, than to
raise ID all in two, three, or four
years, the first of which we know
is not good year? The law
compels the trustees to do some
thing to provide for the needs of
the school. They have no option
in the matter. If the building
is provided for by a bond issue,
the people who get the most
benefit from the school will hare
chance to help pay for it. PEG
pie who move into the county
within the next 20 years will do
their share, and it is only fair
that they should. Some of the
pupils who are now in the county
high school will be taxpayers.
themselves, in less than ten
years and should be willing to
help pay for the privileges they
now enjoy. Some of them will |
be parents and have children of |
their own to send to county high |
school within twenty years. |
