Sixty-five cents per $1,000. TX your
assessed valuation is $4,000, it would
mean an increase of $1.95 In your
taxes. Would it not be worth it? If
the bonds are defeated the rent fer

the school, will be over $500. Will
it be better economy to do this, than
to put the money into a building
that shall belong TO the s'ri t.
