Election Scheduled for
Dec. 18th, to Decide
on New School Bldg.

Yielding to a practical necessity and
an lnsistent public demand, the Mayor
and Board of Aldermen of the City of
Lexington have ordered an election to
be held on December 18th to determine
whether 100000 in bonds shall be issued
for the purpose of constructing a new
high school building.
The necessity of additional facilities
is seen in the fact that already some
fifty pupils are enrolled and in attend
ance, in excess of the normal seating
and classroom, facilities of the school.
In addition, from fifty to one hundred
additional high school students will
ask for admittance into the Lexington
High School next year City authorities
are therefore faced with the choice of
cutting down on the present enrolment
and thereby denying the advantages of
education to from fifty to one hundred
and fifty ambitious young men and
young women, or of providing additional
equipment.
The need of a new schol building has
been talked on the streets for some
time, and the whole matter came to a
point about two weeks ago, when ths
local Parent-Teacher Association decided
to openly advocate the needed facilities
A committee consisting of Mrs. e. y.
Shaddock, Mrs. B. B. Hooker, Mrs. W.
P. Hammett, Mrs. Morris Lewis, Mrs. r.
A. Stigler and Mrs. Effie Swittenberg,
was selected to meet with the Aldermen
to discuss the proposed building prog
ram. This committee, together with
members of the Board of Trustees, then
secured the approval of the Board of
Aldermen, and the election ordered.
The election order proposes that bonds
be issued in a sum not exceeding $780,
900 for the purpose of raising money
with which to erect, construct and equip
High School building, and for the pur-
chase and Improvement of additional
land for a site, and to repair the pres
ent school building. Aldermen W. P.
Hammett, G. S. Beall, Jr., and J. K.
Rhyme, voted Yea, while Aldermen J. N.
Hall and J. G. Herbert were absent and
not voting.
In compliance with the Resolution
passed by the Mayor and Board of AL
dermen, B. S. Beall, r. E. Wilburn and
7. P. Lindholm, election commissioners
for the City of Lexington, have called
{. special election to be held in the
school building on Saturday, December
18th, 1927. There seems to be some re-
tional city bonds, but the matter is re-
garded in the light of clear duty, with
no outspoken opposition as yet, and no
difficulty is anticipated in carrying the
election for the new school building.

County Land Roll
Being MOdernized

Miss Fanny Eggleston has been busy
the past few weeks assisting Tax As
sessor-elect T. ]. Trull in the work of
preparing the land rolls for the coming
year.
Mr.. Trull is anxious that this impor-
tant record of county values be as ac-
curate and as accessible as is possible,
and is sparing no effort in placing them
in the most complete and correct form.
The work will probably require two or
three weeks more, for there are some
$500 taxpayers in Holmes county, and
each of the tax sheets must be checked
and rechecked from several different
angles.
