Thomas J. Fisher & Co.. Inc.
Washington, D. c.
Sirs:
As Chevy Chase. D. C.. and Mary
land. is the most beautiful suburb of
Washington. protected as it is against
all those things which render cities and
towns unsightly as resident centers. |
often wonder why people leave their
homes either winter or summer in
search of health. rest and recreation.
when all can be found here.
| sometimes wonder if you have
sufficiently advised the public of the
advantages of this suburb and to that
end may suggest that. you have pre-
pared map showing the present resi-
dent sections and the vacant ground
available. ! know you have maps, but
a new one showing the location Of
houses, etc, would be of great help to
us who live here, and it would enable
us to answer many questions which
come to us from various sources.
Yours truly.

Must Keep Up School Standards

People as individuals, prone to want new Things
and to want and feel the rub when 1t comes
time to paw 1t is the same with people collectively
and Ell Paso is 10 different from other cities IN that
respect. -,
Confronted by the prospect of high tax rate, which
* always bitter medicine for the public, mayor Lea
and the CITY council been urging the school board
to cut their estimate of the tax levy needed for school
purposes from 49 to As cents The school board has
been unable TO see how the reduction could be made
and the necessary expenditures with the resultant
funds The school beard has finally consented to &C
cept rate Of At cents but the council IS not satisfied
OF course FL Paso wants lower not higher taxes We
forget about growth and improvements when tax paying
lime comes but the bill there and must be paid like
bill for new suit Of clothes fer addition built
to ones home.
The school board asserts that were II not for the
cost of the new high school, particularly the $4,000
furniture bill and the larger operating expenses con-
nected with the building 40 cent levy would be
sufficient.
There are few other factors. There IS very large
number OF people who do not pay taxes for the
support of either the city the schools The children
of soldiers make important addition TO the number
of pupils to be taught The cost of their schooling falls
on the taxpayers of the city There is no objection
to that The soldiers of the United States render
ing valuable service on the border for which the edu
cation of their children is small enough return II IS
also coutended BY some of the school board that the
civ charges the schools for water than any other
large consumer That is matter for the council and
the school board treSh out to their satisfaction
El Paso will not be content with any lowering of the
present standards regards the schools properly
