Montavilla ' cltlsena ' ara not worried
about high echool -levies. For years
they have not paid lesa tnan ib rams
for school purpoeea, while Mount Tabor
waa paying S and 4 and the residents of
the villa And leas difficulty in voting
and paying IS or 20 rollle than moat
suburban- districts db in -, raising a
... ,h.u amounts. Thla year
the district paid IS mills for lta echool
and there, waa only money enouan u
meet the expenaea and pay off $1,000 of
tha bonded debt of tha district. Next
year the clUsena will favor a levy that
will enable them to pay off another
11.000. bringing their burden down to
$9,000 bonded Indebtedness. There was
a time when the district had a burden
of S1S.000 and a levy of SS mtils and
eves- then -there -wae - not-much com
plaint, ion property-owners selling
one lot In order to pa their achool tax
on tha other three or four. '
.Tonight the' annual meeting of the
taxpayers -of the district will be held,
and though there are soma problems
that require generous taxation to solve,
the sentiment of the. villa Is for m tax
big enough to meet the emergency, .Be?
sides the regular expenaea and the pay
ment of tha $1,000 on the bonfled ac
count. It la probable that two-room
building will have to be erected next
summer to take care of classes. The
district hss one lo-room building and an
enrollment of mora than 400 pupils. In
consequence the . varloua y rooma are
badly crowded, the teachera are over
'worked .and soma relief may. have to be
given.. " i
"Oh. It may be necessary to vote S or
S mills extra to build a two-room
house." said President Qua Johnson of
tha board yesterday, "but If we eed.
the building we will build It It'haa been
ao long alnce ws were able to levy leaa
than IS or SO m!Ms that we will not
worry about an extra mill or two."
Thla atand seems to be that of tha
other board members and the eUisena
generally, and alnce the achool tax Is
tha only money the residents raise .that
la expended locally tha heavier the bur
den the more enthusiastic Is tha recep
tion accorded tha collector." '
tv.. i.rrin haji had Its nronertv in
creased In value by the asaesaor and
next year 10-miu levy on me vma
will mean as much aa a 18 or SO-mlll
i AtA loar war. The aecret of the
dlatrtct'a big leyy la found ' In the fact
that while Mount Taoor wun uv cmi-
dren has a valuation of considerably
mora than $1,000,000, Montavilla with
more than 400 pupils baa a valuation of
only about $400,000. The board will
recommend that a 10-mlll tax be levied,,
ahould It be found that a new building
la not essential; If a new building-is
required the levy will be about ll mills,
or Ave times that of the adjoining dis
trict of Mount Tabor.

WOULD LET EVERY MAN
BE HIS OWN PLUMBER
Walter H. Wahl, a building contractor.
Is of the opinion that plumbers should
not be required to take out licenses and
that everybody who desires should be
permitted to do his own plumbing. He
is niuch opposed to the additional
charges for plumbing . Inspection and
1 r'n... . - .l .. K. . nl.h avara van.
ommended In the annual report of Wil
liam Hey, plumbing inspector.
"I" believe in giving the poor man a
cAance," said Mr. Wahl today. "At the
present time a man cannot build a house
unless he : employe soma of these li
censed plumbers to do hla plumbing and'
they- charge not leas than 110 a day. If
a man -employs a plumber who la not
licensed the. others will have him ar
rested. Thla Is not fair to the poor
man, who could perhaps get hie work
done much , more cheaply If licenses
were not required. ;1 . -.".
"It does not seen, to me that It would
make any difference- whether a plumber
has a license or not, lust so long as he
does work- that-Is up to ths standard
and has It examined by plumbing In
spectors or health ofllcers." -
