LOCAL SCHOOL BILL
BEFORE LEGISLATURE

Below is printed the bill intro
duced some days ago in the
legislature by Representative
w. R. Bradford, the passage of
which is expected to give the
Fort Mill graded school a full
nine months term without
tuition or other fees. If the bill
should pass, and it is fully ex-
pected that it will. it will not,
however, become effective until
1917. The bill follows:
Section l. After the ap-
proval of this Act, the County
Auditor of York county shall
levy and the County Treasurer
shall collect annually one mill on
the dollar of the assessed value
of all property within Fort Mill
School District. of York county,
for the purpose of paying the
interest and retiring at maturity
the bonds of said district here
tofore issued in aid of schools
therein, and six mills annually
for the maintenance of the
schools of said district: Pro-
vided, That if at the expiration
of ten years. it becomes apparent
that the amount accumulating,
as such sinking fund. will not be
sufficient TO retire said bonds at
maturity, the said levy shall be
increased to such amount as will
prove sufficient therefor, and the
levy for the maintenance of said
schools shall be proportionately
decreased"

w. R. Bradford, member of
the ways and means committee,
made a strong fight in the com
mittee to have an item of $100, =
600 included IN the general ap-
preparation bill. He lost simply
because the committee had de-
termined upon a policy of not
attempting any large under
takings at this session. The
way seems well paved and action
will very probably be secured at
the next session.
However. Mr.. Bradford and
the other members of the York
delegation have introduced bill
in the house. and senate to pro-
vide for the dormitory. Just
whether this bill will pass re-
mains to be seen. The bill has
been unfavorably reported in
the House.
