CITIZENS WILL
VOTE ON RAISE
IN SCHOOL RATE

An issue TO be decided upon by
the voters in the FL Centro school
district ct the election on Friday
March 26. is that of increasing the
tax rate in the city district.
This proposition is presented by
the school board as a business prop
osition, and is designed to prevent
the necessity of increasing the tax
rate through the expense of bond
issue.
No definite increase in rate is be-
lug asked. but the proposition per-
mits the board of trustees to in
crease the rate. if they deem it nee
essary, to a point that does not ex-
ceed the present rate of taxation
more than 25 cents on the sl0O as
sessed valuation.
Reasons for this request for a tax
increase are given by the board as
follows:
THE growth of the city has been
steady for the past three years. We
have every reason to believe that
the growth will continue. The class
room space in the buildings is at a
point where even now some of the
rooms are overflowing.
TO prepare for this growth addi-
tlonal- classroom space must be pro-
vided. The board is unanimous in
the opinion that it is better to be
ready ahead of time than to wait
until crowded conditions reach such
a point that a bond issue is ineyi-
table.
THE proposition of paving Broad
way back of Wilson school should be
faced now. and the proposition of
paving Olive street between Fourth
and Fifth will be necessary as soon
as the new postoffice is completed.
We do not believe that the schools
should stand in the way of public
Improvements.
The trustees feel especially jus
titled in asking this increase at this
time as the elementary school tax
in every city in Imperial Valley,
with the exception of Calexico, is
higher for the current year than
the elementary school tax in El
Centro.
Their additional costs are mostly
caused by higher rates in the retire
ment of bonds and the payment Of
interest, and because of this fact,
they will continue for a number of
years. BY increasing the current
rate, El Centre is attempting to keep
away from future bond issues and
the need of increasing the tax rate
by that method
The trustees specifically state that
the money raised by this increase
will not be used for maintaining the
system since the present tax allow
ance provides adequately for that
maintenance.

ITS ALLOTMENT

Imperial Valley has more than
filled her quota of applicants de-
string to attend the citizens mill
tary training camp at Del Monte
this summer, 40 persons having ap-
piled, according to information re-
ceived by DR.. Norman E. Dupont
who is in charge of the work in the
valley.
The quota for the valley is 35
and no more than the actual train
ing quota of candidates may be ac-
cepted This information is con-
tanned in letter to Dupont from
Walter E. Johns, second lieutenant
eleventh cavalry, c. NJ. T. c. enroll
nent officer. Cost of travel from
the valley to Del Monte is very high
and for that reason the quota may
not be exceeded.
Johns letter follows, in part:
Il wish to congratulate you upon
this very fine showing and extend
my thanks and appreciation to you
and your workers who have succeed
ed in filling the quota within two
weeks after the opening of the cam
paign.
Under the circumstances, I do
not believe that it is necessary to
furnish you the additional appl-
cation blanks and envelopes which
you have requested in your letter.
Within a few days we will send you

applications.
Again thanking you for the splen-
