BONDS FOR SCHOOL
BUILDING AND EQUIPMENT.

The Eagle has not taken any hand in the fight either
against the City issuing bonds in the 100000
purpose of erecting and equpping school building
We in favor of educaton favor good school build
ngs and convenence We also favor good
nice furniture and pleasat surroundings.
Oxford is pretty well equipped with school building bet
ter than towns The play grounds equipped with all
necessary apparatus for exercise, etc.
is true have many people in Oxford who favor
of issuing bonds who would be favor of bond
purpose ms-because would affect their
the other We also have people who paying
heavy tax, willing to take greater tax burden
Personally the right vote fit but
have been convinced yet that would be the best
interest to the people of Oxford issue bonds Our
pie loaded with bonds Many of have had sweat
blood during the midnight hour when minds would be
solve the question raising taxes
Our advice to the people of Oxford would be to wait ano
longer before issuing bonds Because much
depends the this to whehes of will be
able taxes next year. AS for part cannot be-
ev that would be best for people bonds
We going to maintain schools best and
going have good surroundings at home
able afford school building will call for COAL
antors heating plant, teachers more taxes
and higher levy than you looking for will have ID be
met
opinion it would be far better for to
are until we find better financial shape before tax
ing on more Obligations Unless oil is developed here
have bumper crop this year good price for it. there
are people in Oxford today who will not be here from
now develop OIL have good and get good price
produce this then take the matter OF IS
suing UP year. We will know then where we are
and what going do We do not know this now There
fore we would be best defer this matter to
later date.
