The Bond Issue
Question Box

Cues: Why should vote for the
Bond Issue? have no children in
school.
Ans: There are many reasons,
but among the most important are
these:
Cd Good Schools make COM
munity better place in which to
live.
(2) A Good School System is ex-
cellen insurance against juvenile
delinquency.
(3) 1t is an opportunity to pro-
vide for our boys and girls the edu-
cational facilities they will need
when they compete in college or in
life's work.
az From monetary standpoint,
good schools materially increase
property values.
Cues: What will happen if the
Bond Issue does not pass?
Ans: The Board of Education has
not given too much thought to this
question, knowing that you will
want to provide for the children
of this community the necessary
, educational facilities.
If such a thing should come tC
pass, it is certain that we will have
to resort to halliday sessions il
some grades.

AVERAGE milIaae Of a.6 miIIs2

Ans: Yes. When the new ele-
mentary building was constructed
in 1949 you were told that the
average millage to retire those
bonds would be 20 mills. That
would have been in addition to the
millage necessary to retire bonds
on the high school addition built in
1887. During the past year Q954
tax year, the millage necessary to
retire bonds and interest on both
issues was only 1.6 mills. OF course,
this reduction in millage was due
to the increase in valuation over
period of several years. We feel
confident that Port Clinton is go
ing to continue to grow and that
the average millage will be less
than the estimate.

EISENHOWER EAv0RS
HIGHER BENEFITS

From the standpoint of the unemployed
worker, weekly benefits should be sufi-
GENTLY high to provide the basic necessities.
From the standpoint of the economy, bene-
fits should be sufficient to enable the un-
employed to maintain substantial part of
their customary expenditures, thereby mimi
MIXING the spread of unemployment. The
general level of benefits is now too low for
either of these purposes.

their laws so that the great majority of COW
cred workers will be eligible for payments
that at least equal half their regular
earnings"

Proposed changes in the law would not
raise your taxes one cent. This is not tax
matter, but an insurance which is paid for
by employers as tax deductible expense.
The unemployment compensation fund is
administered by the State of Ohio and now
has surplus of more than $611 ,000,00000.
It's an insurance deal between employers
and employees. It's just like fire or any other
insurance, paid with premiums on the basis
of the amount of payroll.

WHAT'S lT ALL ABOUT?

Fundamentally, the proposed changes will
bring unemployment benefits in line with
living costs These have increased to the
point where benefits buy less now than they
did in 1889 when the law was first adopted.
The law has been changed before. This is
1855 - it needs changing again.
