visfng Principal to give the result of
his investigation and estimates as to
probable Offset to cost of bond issue in
items of productive income from the
new building.
Mr.. Dibble prefaced his statement
by voicing his objection to the per-
sistence, official aud otherwise, in
calling the proposed building high
school. He stated that the plans
called for building to accommodate
, one of the third grades and all of the
other grades from the fourth inclusive
up through the high school; that the
plans obviated the necessity of any
addition to the third or first ward
buildings and took care of all the
pupils in the present Bridge street
school.
MIR. Dibble called the attention of
the Board to the fact that out of.town
pupils represented definite and con-
siderable income to the town; that his
conferences with the State Depart
ment and with the County Superin-
tendent assured him that proper edu-
cational facilities in Lambertville
would mean the immediate closing of
high schools in the northern part of
the County and the DETECTION of pu-
pills from these schools rs we'll as from
| others already closed to Lambertville.
He said that the establishment of the
proposed commercial and manual
training courses would in his opinion
draw students from New Hope and
other nearby places. lie estimated
the number of additional tuition pu-
pills as at least fifty giving an income
of 81, 600 90.
This total of 81, 800 90 represents
conservative estimate of the amount
the City has right to expect every
year hereafter above the amount of
income received this year. The cost
of the bond issue including the inter.
est on $40, 600. 90 at A. per cent. and
the retirement of 1000 90 worth of
bonds every year amounts to 80. 375. 90
the first year and 800 90 less every
year thereafter for thirty. eight years.
This leaves balance of about So, 000, 90
year to devote to the part payment
of the salaries of the additional teach
ing force required. II must be re.
membered that the State pays $400. 90
of every high school teachers salary;
also that the State pays dollar for
dollar on every appropriation made
by the City Board of Estimate for
manual training and domestic science
purposes whether for teachers or
equipment. 1t would not seem there
fore that the tax rate needs To be
greatly disturbed by the requirement
of an adequate school equipment.
