We have always tried to be q
neighbor to help in sickness and
time of need. In balancing the ac-
count we find we have been more
than repaid. If we live to be hun
dred we will never be able to catch
up. What we have done has been
done because we felt it our duty. If
you the service the office of clerk of
Bristol township demands, vote for
us; if not, vote for the one you feel
is the best qualified. They are all
friends of ours, and will be regard
less of who is elected.
It looks to us as though Manches-
ter and Bristol townships have a
good chance to have some deep wells
drilled for oil and gas, if land own
ers will cooperate by putting their
land in the hands of the company

THE THREE-MILL LEVY

In 1920 a new state aid law be-
came effective which was intended
to e0ualize educational opportunity
throughout the state. Under this
law the children of the poorer dis
tricts Of the state may be given ed
ucational opportunities equal to
those of the wealthier districts
However. before state aid may be
extended to a district the law re-
ouires that the rate of taxation in
that district for school purposes be
at least 8 1a mills, not more than
- mills of which may be for debt
AS not more than ~ mills are
authorized by law without a vote
of the people, except under certain
conditions which do not obtain in
Morgan county, it is necessary in
district that must have state aid to
maintain its schools that propo-
sition to levy mills above the 6 1a
mills authorized by law be sub
mitted to a vote of the people
In August, 1920, it was clearly
demonstrated that the people of
Morgan county believe in educa-
ton; for in Ia of the Is districts
which submitted the proposition to
levy 3a mills additional for schools
a favorable vote was returned. A
year or two later the levy was
authorized in the other three dis
tricts, so that every district in the
county has had this three-mill
levy in force At the present time
every district of the county, except
Malta township, is levying this ad-
ditional three mills.
This levy may be authorized for
a period of not to exceed five years
Therefore, the people are asked TO
vote on the proposition at intervals
of two to five years as the terms OF
its authorization expire. In the
following districts the term will ex-
pire next year: Bloom township,
Windsor township and Morgan
township. In Malta township the
proposition has been defeated three
times. At the November election
the people of these five districts
will be asked to authorize the levy
for another period of five years.
The proposition should receive
favorable vote for the following
reasons: /. The revenue from the
levies authorized by law without a
vote of the people is 1nsuflclent 10
maintain the schools 2. State aid
can not be secured unless this
three-mill levy is in force. 3. Each
of these districts except Morgan
needs state aid in amounts OF
$4,000 or $4,000 to $4,000 year.
During the last four years Bloom
has received from the state treas
ury an average of $2,575 year,
Penn $14,S09, Windsor S19,854,
and Malta $2,345. Not to have the
three-mill levy in force would cut
off this source of revenue for the
schools. At the present time where
the three-mill levies are in force
the schools receive 9A mills out of
a total levy of about "a mills. Can
we afford to spend less for educa-
tion?-F. A. Davis

Prominent Citizens And Taxpayers
Urge The Passage OF The NJ.
& Nj. Bond Issue

AS taxpayers and citizens of our
towns we believe that it is sound
policy to get behind whatever enter
prise that attracts people to buy
homes here and to send their pupils
to our schools. We have approx
mately 100 pupils from without our
district as evidence of the fact that
munity. Our schools stand high
among our institutions of which we
are proud.
The state had advised our board
of education that we are below
standard in respect to our buildings
and has allotted $4,000 toward the
correction of this situation provided
we as citizens will do our part The
farm shop room has been condemn
ed as unfit and unsafe Our present
high school building is inadequate
because no rooms were provided for
the teaching of vocational agricul
ture and vocational home economics.
Since the erection of our present
building the commercial department
has been added to our school curric-
ulum and physical education has
been made compulsory by law.
We appreciate the fact that our
new building with it's spacious aud
itorium and facilities for handling
large banquets would be decided
boom to our towns. Many conven-
tions and large gatherings would be
att acted to the twin cities.
We believe that our towns can be
be excelled nowhere in the state. We
know that our boys and girls are as
good as any in the state and we
want them to have an equal oppor-
tunity in their education advantages.
Our board of education has made a
thorough study of this proposition
and we believe action has been wise.
For the welfare of our community
and our future generation We urge
