VOTE FOR NEW SCHOOL HOUSES
School Election Saturday, June 19, 1920.
WHY A TAX LEVY IS NECESSARY
There has been little building of schools for the past five years.
There have been no new buildings and no new rooms added to existing buildings in the past three years.
The normal increase in children of school age in Portland requires sixty additional rooms each year.
The district is now 166 rooms behind.
The proposed levy will about cover the needs for one year but will not permit replacement of any of the temporary (portable)
rooms now in use.
You are asked to vote for a tax levy of $950,000, which is about a three-mill additional levy upon the assessed valuation of prop
erty in School District No. 1. ...
In other words you are asked to vote away the price of a box of cigars, a night at the opera or two or three movie shows, so that
the children may be properly housed at school.
If approved this tax will not become payable until Feb. 1921; it could then be used for new buildings in time for September, 1921.
St. Johns needs a new high school building. It cannot be provided until more school funds are voted by the people.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO VOTE
All registered voters may vote for candidates for school director.
ONLY registered voters whose names appear on the tax rolls may vote for the tax levy. This does not mean property owners only
but all who pay taxes on Real Estate, Automobiles, Corporation Stocks, etc. t
WHERE TO VOTE
Precinct 65 Central School, John and Jersey Streets.
Precinct 66 James John High School, Tacoma and Filmore Streets.
Precinct 67 North School, lieno and Chapel Streets.
Precinct 68 East School, Seneca and Newton Streets.
WHEN TO VOTE
From 12 o'clock noon to 8 p. m. Saturday, June 19, 1920.
A new high school for St. Johns is the first new building planned by the school directors if this measure passes.
St. Johns people will vote for it of course, but it will take more than St. Johns votes to carry it. CALL UP YOUR FRIENDS
ALL OVER PORTLAND AND ASK THEM TO VOTE FOR IT.
