The Bessemer Board of Education will carry out a publicity campaign in the next few weeks to bring before the voters the necessity for the $780, 000 school bonds issue, according to school officials. The money will be essential to the completion of build ings now under construction, par ticularly the new high school on Sec and avenue and members of the board say that they will organize the cam paign to give the public details Of how the money is to be expended.
 Superintendent of schools l.. l.. Vann is preparing figures and es inmates showing the remarkable growth in attendance at the public schools, and this will be officially presented as an argument for the additional funds. The rapid growth in school attendance has completely upset plans of school officials that were made few years ago. At the present there are more than 4,500 in the schools, and the attendance at the high school is 617.
 Based on the experience of the past few years it is estimated that school attendance at Bessemer next year will be nearly 5,500 and there will be more than TOO high school pu- pills to care for. Professor Vann states that it will be an impossbility to crowd any more children into the present high school and it's annex. School officials say that the only re- lief Is in the completion of the new high school, and it is for this unit that the money from the funds is to be raised.
 The actual expenditure necessary to complete and equip school build ings now being erected is Sl32,000. The special election for the bonds has been set for May 29, and begin ming next week the board of educa- ton will carry out their publicity caunaien

INCREASE IN REVENUES

As an indication of improved busi- ness conditions, the report or Clty Treasurer Joe M. Scott for the past six months is of interest An out standing feature of the report is the collection of license tax from mer- chants and professional men, which in six months has amounted to s4S,o00 more than the total collection for the previous 12 months.
 This increase represents new busi ness enterprises established in the last year and expansion of those business concerns already estab- lished. The enlargement of estab- lished enterprises has surpassed in importance the opening of new places of business, and is good in- dication of the general prosperity of this section at present.
 Another interesting sidelight con- corning tax collections is the small number of business and professional firms in arrears in the payment Of their tax. Last year at this time there were large number behind with this tax.
