tricts, it is not necessary to increase
the rate of taxation on account OF
Indebtedness, unless the rate neces-
sary to meet payments on such in
debtedness is greater than 1.5 mills.
Under the present laws, therefore,
it would not be necessary to IN
crease the rate of taxation on ac-
count of this bond issue.
We believe you should vote for
this Improvement for the following
reasons:
1. The children Of Bloom town
ship are entitled to as good educa :
tional opportunities as those of any
other district of the state.
2. We can not hope to hold our
present one-room schools many
wears longer. If we do not pro-
vide better schools for the children
they will have to be transported to
other schools outside the district.
3. East Bloom now has its good
school. We can not afford to deny
to West Bloom an equal privilege
when the cost will be so little.
a. AS is the school, so is the
community. We can not afford tC
neglect our schools or to refuse te
give them our Wholehearted sup
port.
