Garfield
Urges Vote
for Schools

Ira A. Garfield, Superinten-
dent of Schools, has released
the following statement in re
gard to the two tax levie S
which will be presented Q
Chardon voters at the Novem-
Der elections:
There are two separate le-
vieS for school operation being
presented to the voters this
November. The first is a six.
mill amount of which ST is re-
newal from 1850 and is to run
for the customary five y +
period. The second levy is for
three years.
The six-mill levy is all spok.
en- for in appropriations for op.
Grafton of the school plant and
existing salaries. This levy
must be passed to maintain
present standards. Its failure
to pass would mean crippling
in fact almost disastrous cur
tailment, of our program.
THE short-term levy will be
used to increase salaries tC
keep us on a competitive basis
with the surrounding schools
and to help with additiona
operating expense due to en-
creased enrolment and mat,
erial costs.
The board of e d uc a t or
thought it undesirable to ado
this amount to the existing tax
mills because a nine-mil re-
newal in five years might have
difficulty in passing. Besides
we are hoping for some finan-
cial relief in the next year
or so from the new State foun-
dation program. BY choosing
a three-year term, the renewal
date will fall in 1858 when there
are no other levies to be re-
newed.
Both of these levieS must
be passed if we are to main
tain and improve our school
system standards, keep our
good teachers and attract Of
her good people to our system
It will, not be enough for each
school family to go the polls
and vote themselves but they
must also urge others to vote
and vote yes" on both levies
to gain the kind of support we
desire"
