VOTE SATURDAY
ON BOND ISSUE
Clayton School District To
Vote at Referendum Elec-
tiOn to Decide Issue
FOR NEW ADDITION

G. Medford Sparks, chairman of
the board of trustees of the Clay
ton Consolidated School District,
in a letter to parents and patrons
of the district this week, explained
the coming referendum election to
be held Saturday. February IL. In
his letter, Mr.. Sparks explained
that the election is being held un-
der the authorization of the State
Board of Education and is to de-
termine whether the District shall
bond itself for $4,000 for the pur-
pose of constructing an addition to
the school to consist of one class
room and a storeroom for supplies
and equipment and complete reno
vation of the heating plant. This
amount will be matched and added
to by state funds to the amount of
$40, 400 bringing the total to 1884,
600, he added. Pointing out the
need for such additions to the
school, Mr.. Sparks stated that the
recent increase in enrolment at
the school has created a serious
condition of overcrowding, espec-
tally in the lower grades and has
become a handicap to efficient
teaching.
Tax Rate Unchanged
AS it has been pointed out before
the letter continued, a favorable
vote on this issue (tax referendum)
will not mean any increase in taxes
in the district. The present tax
rate of 20 cents per hundred dol
lars can be maintained, since the
last bond of the old issue of 1929,
for constructing the original build
ing, has been paid. The members
of the Board of Trustees feel con-
fident that the citizens of Clayton
and the surrounding districts de-
sire to keep pace with the splendid
impetus which is being made to
the educational facilities of our
state and will vote favorably on
both the bond and tax referendums
Saturday, Mr.. Sparks concluded.
