That most Of the above rooms now
used as overflow rooms are temporary
structures, some rented at high rental
anil at least two of which are base
ment rooms.
That many of the above rooms are
not suited to school use because of
improper lighting and heating.
That large number OF the rural
buildings have insufficient windows
and improper light.
That very few of the small buildings
are provided with modern heating and
ventilation.
That 90 per cent of the rural build
ings are In need Of painting.
That Rural Schools generally need
much improvement both rs to build
ings and equipment.
That several buildings are needed
for colored children, school now being
held in churches, halls and rented
buildings.
That repairs, painting, new build
ings and up-tO-date remodeling have
been impossible for lack Of funds.
That IN average OF $4,000 per year
has been spent for buildings for the
last l2 years, partly for temporary
makeshift buildings.
That our problem still remains UNI
solved,
That IL X poor business policy and
wasteful to continue building temper
ary buildings.
That il IL time 10 chnnge this policy
and build only up .to-date permanent
structures.
That these things cannot be done
with the annual levies, without mailing
n large increase In taxes and hard.
ship on the taxpayer.
1nut after careful consideration the
Board Of Education has concluded that
the only possible solution Of our prob.
lem il the passage Of the proposed
Bond Issue for $2b0,000.
That this Bond Issue, II ratified by
the people at the November election
will not only provide for the permn-
nent needs without delay, but will pre-
vent waste OF further money on tenn
poraiy improvements.
That this method Of getting needed
permanent improvements such az
roads and schools Ia used everywhere
by up-t0-date Counties and Cities
because they believe II IN the only
method Of getting the needed improve
ments without burdening the taxpayer.
That the following facts show that
those who drew the bill were looking
TO the financial interest Of the County:
ta) Bonds to be issued only az
money IL needed.
tb) Payment arranged 10 cover u
ps Rod Of 20 years.
(c) Bonds to the amount Of Si2,.
500 must lie retired January first Of
each year, thereby making no sinking
fund necessary.
I'D II noated at per cont and
one third Of the amount spent for each
of three years, the amounts to he rails
ed nv taxation from year to year will
be- az follows:
1929 $1,000; 1924 $l0,375; 1925
s23. 75O. 1925 923,I25; 1927 $22 800;
1923 S2I ,g75: 1920 S2i $50; 1890 800
1925: 1881 500. 900; etc, 1913 Sl3,l2E.
fe) The largest amount TO be levi
ed in any one year Ia $23, $50. This
decreases year by year until the
amount becomes $f3,l2b In l043.
(O COMPARISON with former levies
for this purpose shows the following:
Average amount for last ~ years
yl0. 600: for year 1919 SIB,Bl5; for
year 1920 $4,000; Average for 1910
and 1920 s2i 900; average amount per
year under the Bond issue, appr0xi-
mptelv $4,000,
(R) The following figures show the
small increase necessary to provide
for the Bond Issue:
Average Levy for INST IL years $40,
900: tax rate 800; Average Levy for
Bond Issue $4,000; tax rate $.07;
Increase per wear $4,000 tax rate SOB
