these bonds. This increase viii
amount to about one mill The de-
crease in taxes which will follow the
voting out of free text books in the
district will more than balance it.
After ten years and after our pres
ent high school bonds are all pad,
We will begin to pay off the principal
of these new bonds and that, if our
valuation remains what it is now, VIII
require levy Of about two mills for
ten years-practically the same that
we are paying now to redeem bonds.
About Our High Taxes.
The current tax fixed by the school
board for general school purposes 3
"a mills. This does not include bond
tax fixed by the county commission
ers. For many years our district has
had an Indebtedness on account Of
warrants issued and not paid when
issued July l. 1911, this debt amount
ed to about $4,000. Jan. !. 1912. it
was reduced to less than $4,000. At
the present time 1t is still farther re-
duced and If We can bear this high
tax for one more year. we should wipe
il out and the board can then materi-
ally reduce taxes. The interest which
we paid last year on this warrant
debt amounted to more than the in
terest on the proposed bonds.
During the year just closing your
board has been able to run the schools
on what would amount to a 10 mill
tax. The balance of the "a mills as
well as a good sum of delinquent tax
has been used to help cancel the war-
rant debt
Can We Get Along With Smaller
Bond Issue.
This has been suggested by so many
Taxpayers lndt iut Dodlu ID tuutdN-
oring to find a way to avoid using
or issuing the entire $4,000 and II
way can be found whereby the In
provements can be made for less mon
ey and at the same time not sacrifice
essentials nor use false economy. /
shall certainly favor II.
This is certainly a very lmporta t
matter to the Taxpayers OF our dis
trict and above all else 1t is the wish
OF the board that 1t be settled by a
full vote. Don't forget the date

REGARDING THE SOUTH CANON
LINCOLN PARK SCHOOL BOND
ELECTION NEXT SATURDAY
MAY 18th.

So many requests have come TO me
for information regarding this pro-
posed bond issue as well as the gener-
al financial condition of our district
that l have decided to write this let
ter for publication.
The Proposed Bond Issue.
The proposition is very much he
same as that submitted last year,
namely to vote $4,000 in bonds to be
expended in erecting ami furnishing
school buildings in Souti Canon and
Lincoln Park. about $4,000 of which
/ is to be used to rebuild the old part
of the Prospect school, leaving the
two newer wings as they now sta-d,
and about $4,000 to be used to build
D tour room. two story addition .
( the front of the present building on
Lincoln Park. Both buildings will re
i.quire some new furniture and both
are to have modern steam or hot water
heating plants.
why the School Board Submits this
Z Question to the Voters.
The situation in the district is su n
that something must be done before
school opens next fall to properly take
Care of the school children. On Lin
coin Park we are confronted with the
problem of six rooms of children and
only four rooms in which to house
them. After shifting all the child
ren we can from the Park TO the High
School Building, and to the Prospect
building. the Park school is again
overfiowing. This school, is so crowd
ed that teachers connot do good work.
At the Prospect school 1. is not so
much question Of room, but a mat
ter OF providing a safe and modern
building for the children. The condi.
tion of the. old part of this building
is very bad and the question is. shall
we spend money trying to patch up.
or tear 1t down and rebuild?
What the New Plan Contemplates.
The plan contemplates taking care
OF all the children below the high
school in the two grade buildings aud
using the high school building for hisn
school purposes only.
1t contemplates using the assembly
room plan for the high grades in the
grades buildings. thus allowing us .
use our teaching force with more
economy and to better advantage.
1t does not contemplate the increas-
ing of our teaching force by more
than one teacher and perhaps not any.
Increased Cost.
The increased cost that will con-
front the Taxpayer at the present time
WIN be his share OF the interest oa

If Switzerland has something more

great mountain rock above the town

Ouray is in little basin. half the

steep mountains rising TO the sky on
every side On two sides the moua-
tains are half mile high and about
us steep as the walls of the Royal

sand stone out OF the crevices of which
grow the evergreen trees which add to
the beauty of the scene. On the other
two sides the mountains are a mile
high and covered with trees and snow.

now about 100 people here. The
homes are pretty. the hotel good and |
