30 years. The present levy of 2.3 mills
for bond purposes was evidently over
looked when you made the investiga-
ton, although we have been making
that levy for a number of years; but
! we cannot see why you added an ad-
ditional 81 mills. We trust you will
see this mistake of five mills as it is
of some Importance. We know that
bonds may be floated at 4 or Az.
We expect the additional instruction
to cost something but we are not sure
as yet how much it will be in terms
of an additional levy. In 1904 before
any of the new buildings were con-
structed the levy for the teachers was
17.5 mills. For 1917, levy made last
August, it is 17.7 mills. Not a very
great increase, a fifth of mill, and
two buildings have been constructed
since that time. Surely then the con-
struction of building will not war
rant us in assuming big increase in
the levy for teachers. Experience in
the past disproves that stand abso-
lutely. Outside of a teacher for the
Third Ward which we really should
have now to do away with congestion,
and little extra for physical training
which will be taught by qualified
teachers in the high school, we expect
mo increase which will not be taken
care Of by an increase in property val
.uation-as in the past.
1t is somewhat more difficult to get
additional levies necessary in the con-
tingent and school house fund as
result of the construction of these
buildings. AS We have ceased to levy
for the school house fund we shall
consider only the contingent which
we believed will be raised but little.
Our reason for thinking so is that the
present issue contemplates building
and equipping thoroly. This not the
case with the other. two buildings
The buildings of 1905 and 1913 ex-
ceeded by $1,000 the bond issues. Bear
in mind also that this $1,000 deficit
was not incurred in purchasing equip
ment but in getting the grounds in
shape, and construction. Added to
this must befgured the cost of equip.
ment which would be at least $5O00CO,
total of $4,000 that had to be paid
out of the contingent and school
house funds. Even at that, the levy
for contingent and school house funds
in 1904, before either building was
constructed was 106 mills. The levy
for the contingent fund in 1916, which
includes the school house fund that.
we have ceased to levy, is 1O.7 mills,
an increase of one-tenth of a mill. "
T We trust that now you viii get these
issues Strengthened out:
1. We can pay the principal and in
terest on $4,000 in less than 80 years
with an additional levy of seven mills
2. The gymnasium will cost trifle
in excess of $11 1000 and is incidental
to the plan.
8. The S5S,0O0 building besides CIV
ing us two primary rooms, a gymna-
sum-, and better facilities for voca-
tional subjects, will provide TEN ad-
ditional class rooms, which will give

teachers in the seventh and eighth
grades and high school-accomoda-
tions that will permit a growth Of
more than so per cent, or ample room
for at least ten years.
4. Judging by the past there is no
reason to think that the teachers,
school house and contingent funds
will be increased to any considerable
extent.
