sued April 1, 1914, and due April l.
1913, for $4,000, the balance the city
owes on the purchase price of the site
for the Horace Mann school,
That places the present total in
debtedness of the district at $136, 900.
An Offset of $10,4S3.11 is found in the
sinking fund, leaving the net total at
approximately $125,50O, with interest
paid up.
The total bonds possible are five per
valuation of Fargo, or $362, 2,163.85. OF
that total, $16O,00O may be issued by
the board without vote. Above the
$16OOO0. a vote of the people is neces-
sary. and must carry by a majority
vote.

The board has issued. as seen above,
$4,000 in bonds. and has voted to is
sue, for the construction Of the Fifth
ward grade school, $4,000 additional
bonds, which will be all that can be
issued without vote Of the people.
Financing Grade School.
The board proposes to use tie $4,000
insurance fund, received in the de-
struction Of the high school, and to
use the proceeds of the $4,000 bond
issue, to pay for the Fifth grade school.
If it can be kept within that figure.
Anything above $4,000 must be raised
by general taxation, and there is little
prospect that the structure can be
erected for $4,000.
Available for High School.
This, then. leaves the board Of edu-
cation in position to issue $202, 1885
in bonds, based on the present valua-
tion, and provided such bond issue is
approved by the people, for the con-
struction Of the new high school How
ever, there must be subtracted the
$4,000 outstanding warrant for the
Horace Mann site, leaving q new bond
income of $196,163.85.
That sum can be raised for grade
and central high school without gem
eral taxation, and all above that
will have to be provided by
general tax.
Thirty thousand dollars, it has al
ready been pointed out, can be levied
in 1917 for building purposes, without

for the defendant, and the supreme
