Please do not neglect to vote for
the three-mill levy for schools next
Tuesday. This levy is now in force
in Windsor township, but will not
be next year unless the proposition
carries at the election next Tuesday
II the proposition fails, the township
cannot receive state aid next year.
of the amount of money which this
levy would produce, about $1,000,
plus the state aid which will amount
to about $4,000, or total loss of
$4,000. This would leave for the
operating expenses OF the schools
next year less than $4,000. Wind
sor township employs 10 teachers:
and the operating costs of the
schools, including teachers salaries,
fuel, repairs, transportation, sup
plies, etc., is about $1,450 per
teacher per year. Since board of
education cannot borrow money to
meet the operating expenses of the
schools it will be seen, therefore,
that the schools of Windsor town
ship could not be maintained more
than three months per year without
The three-mill levy. A vote for the
.hree-mill levy is not vote to in
crease taxes, but vote to continue
he present levy and to continue the
present high standard of education
'or the boys and girls of Windsor
ownship. We cannot afford to deny
,ur future citizens the opportunity |
If securing the best training which |
is possible for us to offer.-XX.
