Balance to be provided for
by taxation sSO,95O
A so cent tax on our grandlist OF
s34,674.99 would amount to 31,207-
so. Really II the district can build a
High school building and not go
above a 80 cent tax it may consider
itself fortunate. Take for instance
the nine largest towns and cities in
Vermont and compare their grand
lists. Bennington stands at the foot
in this comparison having the
smallest grandlist and yet there are
only three of these cities that have
many more pupils in their schools.
st. Johnsbury has nearly double the
grandlist and yet has less pupils
Altogether we shall be fortunate il
we do not have to go above a 80
cent tax on our grandlist. II is the
aim of the school board to so forward
in school efficiency and at the same
time plan the finances so that the
school tax will not be excessive on
the taxpayers.
Permanent Financing
June II, 1913, the district appropri-
ated $4,000 for the construction of a
new High school building and
authorized loan of $4,000 for that
purpose at rate of interest not to
exceed per cent.
Thus far all the money needed has
been secured on school orders at
per cent interest.
The plan is to refund these orders
by an issue of $4,000, per cent
school bonds maturing at the rate Of
$4,000 or $4,000, each year beginning
1918.
They will be exempt from all local
taxes, also from federal income tax.
For this reason it is hoped to place

amount to $76.l75 not including fees

These additions over and above
the appropriation plus fees and plus
about $4,000 which will be needed for
equipment mean that the district will
be asked to appropriate $4,000 for
these purposes
We would suggest that the trustees
be authorized to borrow on two or
ders dated Oct. /, 1914, $1,000 due
Oct. l. 1916. and $1,000 due Oct l..
1917 at rate OF interest not to ex-
coed 5 per cent per annum. This
would not change the bond issue as
originally planned except to make
the first bonds come due in 1918, az.
ter the site and equipment orders
have been paid. Under this plan the
cost. OF the high school building
would be distributed over period OF
twenty to thirty years according TO
whether the district should pay
$4,000 or $4,000 OF bonds yearly.
