WHAT DeFUNIAK SPRINGS DID
ABOUT TT.

DeFuniak Springs, with population of
1000, has already constituted itself
special tax district for school betterment on
the highest levy permissible. Pensacola,
with $4,000, and a need proportionately
greater, is only now agitating the question.
DeFuniak, with 100000 assessment,
has. built and equipped a $4,000 high
school. Pensacola, with a 100000 as
lsessment, wants a 100000 building.
In other words Pensacola, with fifteen
times the wealth, and sixteen times the pop
ulation of DeFuniak, simply wants school
three times as good
1 assure you that you are in a good
cause writes Principal Hatcher of the
DeFuniak institution, "and hope that YOU
do not make the mistake of making the
issue too small, as your city will be a
rapidly growing city in the next ten years. .
