it not be a good idea for the board

engagements to have Library Park

Good Business.

The Board of Education has
made a levy for this year as fol-
lows: General fund e mills; for
sinking fund 2 mills; bond inter-
est l mill; domestic science l
mill. In this connection it is of
interest to note that the Board OF
Education has paid off three $500
bonds, and in December will pay
off another. In years past the
different Boards of Education
ne yer provided for paying off
the school bonds. The levy for
the sinking fund this year will
provide funds enough to pay of
$500 more of the debt. Looks
to us like mighty good business.
