To the Editor of the Standard:

To the Editor of the Standard.
Regarding the letter of Mr. H.
Crowell, chairman of the school
board, in your issue of May 3rd, con-
corning the special election to be held
in South Bay district May 18th, to de-
eide on levying an extra mill rate
on the taxpayers Of said district, will
say that as two letters have appeared
in the Standard supporting the levy,
] ask your kind permission for brief
space to present some facts on the
other side of the case.
The first letter, from Mr.. George
Parse, mainly arguing for funds to
own and operate a truck to carry
pupils to and from high school. need
not discuss, as the taxpayers have
already decisively rejected that prop
osition by a more than two to one
vote. But we would like to ask Mr.
Crowell why the 3 mil tax? Or any
increase in the school levy?
The taxpayers Of South Bay district
have not been niggardly in their
treatment of their school. About a
year ago a bond issue to the amount
of $4,000 was voted, and two-room
addition built to the school, making
a commodious, modern, four-room
schoolhouse. with furnace heat and
up-to-date improvements. We have
four teachers, whose salaries will, I
venture to say, compare favorably
with the average teachers salaries
paid in this county, and no less than
three trucks are owned and operated
by the district for transportation OF
pupils. This one item of transporta-
ton alone is heavy burden on the
school funds, on account of the costly
repairs and upkeep of the trucks, no:
to mention the drivers pay.
For these and other expenses, we
have been paying a school levy of S3
mills, the highest school levy of any
district in the county. Mr.. Crowell
says this new levy will bring down the
school rate, not raise it, and some OF
us would like to have an explanation
on this point. In fact, many of the
voters feel that explanations are very
much in order, and If the school
board had taken the taxpayers into
their confidence, and given full and
frank statement of the financial
affairs of the district at the last an
nual Cor any school meeting. there
would not be the unrest and dissatis-
faction there is in the district today.
The opponents of this special levy
have no desire to cut down on the
children, or to cripple the efficiency
Of the school, but they do have a very
strong desire to guard against unwise
and extravagant expenditure Of pub
lie funds, in the future. AS every
body admits, our taxes are already
unreasonably high, and when the
people of a district are coolly and
calmly invited to tax themselves some
more, without q word as to the why
and wherefore Of the case, the only
logical way of meeting the situation
is to turn out en- masse next Wednes-
day and vote emphatically No!
Respectfully yours,
AGNES A. GUNSTONE.
