In regard to the proposition in re-

representatives call at Ocala for the
ing money to the county and districts
and also to submit forms of warrants
that are usually used in making loans
Action on the matter of the building
was postponed until next regular
meeting.
| The following communication was
received from the trustees of the Oca1a
district and filed for future reference:
To the Members of the County Board
Iof Public Instruction of Marion Coun-
lty: Gentlemen: While we have had no
iofficial notification from your board Of
the action taken in reference to the
proposed construction Of a new high
school building in Ocala, to be known
as the Marion County High School, yet
our understanding is that your board
lis willing to provide funds to the
amount of $4,000, provided the board
of trustees for sub-school district No.
provide funds to the amount OF 5000
; land the citizens of sub-school district
No. l contributes in cash OF bankable
lpaper $4,000, for the purpose of erect
ling a high school building in Ocala.
You gentlemen are as familiar with the
lpresent financial condition of this sub
Ischool district as are it's trustees, and
there is no need to review here that
condition. Suffice it to say 1t is and
has been a source of great embarrass-
Iment to the present trustees.
| On the other hand We are fully adj
Ivised of the inadequacy of the present
building used for the grammer and
high school work, and realize that
something must be done at once to re-
llieve the situation We are willing
for the local sub school district to as
sumo the proportion Of the indebted
. ness suggested, namely. $4,000: provid-
ed, that it be distinctly understood the
assumption of this Indebtedness and
the annual payment of interest there
on shall in no way interfere with the
maintenance of the school in this dis
trict at the present high standard
which believe they have reached
. ION other words we do not want to bind
our board as at present constituted or
our successors as trustees for this dis-
Itrict to program which may result IN
la shortened term or the running OF the
schools with an inferior grade Of
teachers. 1t is our belief that the
, property valuations in this sub-schooi
district should increase to such an ex-
| ltent during the life OF the indepted-
; ness proposed that the sub-scnool VIII
be able to meet both the interest on
such Indebtedness, sinking fund Tor
the payment OF the pFiHcipdi "a SUN
Indebtedness and the annual expense
to the maintenance of the schools In
J this district.
, The adoption of the proposition OF
your board means the securing for thfs
district and for Marion county OF q
sum of $4,000 for school purposes
7 which would otherwise not be avaf1e-
BILE, as we believe that .the citizens Of
, lOcala will contribute the amount sug.
igested as their proportion. We ar
. also strongly of the opinion that II VI
are to get the best results from int
7 proposition and to raise the FUNDS
easily we must act Immediately. TINS
lis our excuse for addressing your
!, board on this matter before we have
received from you an official notice Of
= your action in the premises.

L W. Duval. Chairman
