MARION VOTERS
STAND BY SCHOOLS.
Bond Issues for Building and for
School Purposes Carry IMAM
imously.

Marion, Dec. 6-The election for
a bond issue of $4,000 to build a
new school and an increase of seven
mills in the levy for school purposes
which was carrie. unanimously in
the Nichols school district broke ali
records, declared S. ]. Wall, county
superintendent OF education yester-
day The voting was 81 to on both
issues and Immediately after the
election, a meeting was called TO dis
cuss plans for early building and op-
Grafton on the new and enlarged scale.
1t is the hope of the people in the
Nichols district that the school can
be finished in time for next session.
The spirit exhibited az the election
the desire for better educational con-
ditions in the district was most pro-
nounced. Never before in the history
of the county, it is said, has such an
election been carried without a single
dissenting vote.
During the past six years every
district in Marion county, with the
exception of one. has voted bonds for
a modern school building and in
creased the levy for educational pur-
poses. The single exception is account
ed for by the fact that in this dis
trict already these steps had been
taken. The levy previously in effect in
the Nichols school district was eight
mills. This was increased to Is mills.

sIGHT PLANT FOR
y TOWN OF DILLON.

T'or more than-a year it has been
rident to persons informed that Dill
n would have to put in a new pow
(, plant. Our present plant is like a
Eorn out automobile-it needs new
parts from the carburetor to the
fires. For several months we have
COLLECTED an average of $4,000 per
month for lights and water. a new
and modern plant can be installed
complete for $45, 600. This will pro-
vide us with duplicate units 200
horse power each or a peak load of
40G horse power. This plant would
p1obably be adequate for the town
Sor the next fifteen years. provided we
maintain our present rate of growth.
it is estimated this plant can be op-
Grated at a cost of $1,000 per month
and our present income would enable
us to apply $1,000 per month to
pay on the original cost. In other
words the plant will pay for itself
within four years, provided we can
not sell more current and new motors.
Under normal times the income from
the plant can be easily increased to
$4,000 per month.
Some people think we are too poor
to have q new plant. If we do not i'm
prove our public service equipment
Dillon is fully grown. 1t can be COM
pared TO a man at rs years old. We
have passed through our best years
to trade with our farmers. If we grow
like towns in South Florida or like
towns in New England, where no
cotton has ever been raised. we need
new industries and an increased pop
ulation. Some towns in the boil Wee
vii territory will grow and prosper.
If you think we are in that class get
behind the bond issue and help put
Dillon on the map.
