Birmingham. taxpa yers will be paying city taxes as follows General fund ...................-.... mills Sinking ........................-. ? mills School fund ....................-... 3 mills
  Total ........................- 10 mills By making this change in the pur- poses for which the city taxes are paid. we will be able to take care of the bond issue for high school purposes and also to provide for the education: of the con siantly increasing number of children who are coming into the schools of the city, and do all of this without impos- ing one cent of additional burden upon the taxpayers. When the proposition is understood fully by the voters I believe they will give it their unanimous sup port and we are going to see to it that all misunderstandings are removed be- fore election day.
