The Leasino Pronosition

The any substitute means of relief of school district offered by opponents of the civic cen ter 9es is d proposition lease thd Central school property to private persons. The proponents of this plan have overlooked very important things. The first is the absolute certainty that no relief would be afforded at a a time when it is most needed The school district would have no money with which to buy the site for new building much less t. the building.
 The other unconsidered fact is the difficulty ot leasing all of the block within reasonable time and so providing even the small annual sum of S1S0"o sum by the way. based the supposed rental of the most valuable. and desirable lot iii the block
 Men cannot be brought to invest IiberalIy in that sort of an enterprise the present prices of front s,g. r the business and se1n-business district We believe that this leasing idea should prevail and the block should be finally leased, should not point with pride years hence to q block GOV cred with cheap one-story structures No lessee will ever be found, until property becomes much more valuable than it is now. who will put public ground a structure that will be keeping with our idea of Phoenix.

Thus, we have in the civic idea greater beauty. greater convenience, and with it solution of the problems which have been forced upon the school district and the county.
