 lSo lI " town who would answer
 in ;I' the negative. Personally,
 we w have talked to a number of
 the people of the town, and
 mitbout ,l a single exception they
 all say: we want more school
 brilding, and will do all we can to make this the best school in in the county" Very we'll, we
 a1l agree that there should be more school room. The next question that arises is: Can we mild, are we financially able to put up a nuw building? We answer, Emphatically YES. How? How do you get money to build roads, pave streets? How did you get money to erect the present building? You issue bonds don't you? Good, the house that we now have is paid for, the district is out of debt, and we have maintained a school all the time we were paying for the house. We did all of this at a lower rate of tax and at a smaller assessment valuation than we now have. Why can not we get an additional build ing on the same plan?
 McCrory is supported who'll ly by her farming district, there are no factories, mills or public works of any kind to close down or move away, and thus cripple the town. Our entire revenue comes from the farms adjacent to the town. Each year these farms become more valuable, each year the crops from these farms are larger and are sold for more money, each year more land is put into cultivation and new farms are opened up and con- Sequently, each year the busi- ness of McCrory is larger than the preceding year. Likewise our school revenue must in- crease from year to year. It is practlcally impossible for it to eecrease or to remain the same TOT two years; but is must be- come more and more each suc- ceeding year.
 The above reasoning, also, applles to our school enroll mient, the number of children m our school continues to in- crease VI, each year and of course we we get more money from the pc per capita tax. Last years en- Ibollment bo,e was 275, this year we tbo Hase a already reached more Snan 1l 800, an increase, of near # tl 10 per cent.

1T may be we'll to say at this time
that the greatest advantage accruing
to district by the construction OF a
canal is gained in the handling of
low-tariff, bulky freight merchandise

handle at transportation cost. or at a

such freight to be hauled 1t can best
be carried by improved barges and
