City Council that the whole COM
munity is in favor OF new schools
at this particular time.
"The law was undoubtedly passed
in Difference to the demand on the
part of the public for improved
school conditions in the city OF Will
mington. and the present school
board was elected on a platform
committing it to a better school pro-
gram.
Il am at loss to understand
why Mayor Harvey. when the ad-
visibility of bonding the city for the
purpose Of a harbor Improvement
was considered opposed it on the
ground that the schools come first,
and now when Council has express
ed itself as willing to authorize a
bond issue, for the purpose of put
ting into effect the expressed desire
Of the people for better schools.
should take such a stand especially
since ii has been conclusively shown
that this issue of bonds for school
purposes will put such a small ad-
ditional burden on the people,"
Elmer II. Klund. collector of taxes
for the Northern District, who has
announced his intention OF attend
ing Monday nights meeting to OPP
pose the school project at this time
declares that, in his opinion. the
continual adding to the tax burden
being imposed upon the taxpayers
OF the city already exceeds the abil-
fly Of the people to pay. In sup
/ port of this contention he says the
receipts Of his office show that about
one-third of the taxables in the city
have been unable to pay their realty
taxes.
In addition to the city's already
heavy tax burden he spoke of the
new ordinance pending before City
Council to tax horse drawn and mo-
tor-driven vehicles. and the courts
decision that the SO filing fee provi-
sion of the school law is constitu-
tional.
It was learned last night that the
followers of Henry Georges single
tax theory of land value taxation viii
turn out in force and explain how
the funds needed for public schools
and other civic improvements can bt
raised without increasing the ta'
burden upon those least able to bear
It, "City Council has tried every
other means of solving the problem
except the obvious one" a leading
single-taxer declared last night.
