'! - 1 - BOND ISSUE DISCUSSED AT 1 MEET Little Opposition Voiced to Proposed Program Re sponsibility Is Put Up to People. ' SPECIFICATION FOR SPENDING NOT LIKED Growth 'Of City May Be in Districts Not Specified, Is Belief of One. A publics meeting at the high school office, Tuesday night, brought out a number of repre sentative citizens of .the city to discuss the pending bond issue for school building purposes. While both friends and presum ed opponents of the bonds had been urged to 'attend, only one real opposer was there who de clared against the 'big Issue of 1500,000. One thought that $250,000 might fit the public es timation better at this time. The universal opinion was that whatever the. school board says it actually needs for immediate (building, wil be supported.' The, board explained that since the de feat of its program two years ago, when It said a levy of 1 1-2 mills was necessary.'it had gone no fur ther in saying that it "must" have any certain sum, or indeed any money at all; it would spend, honestly, what the people voted, and stop right there; "the people could take the responsibility for firetraps, for crowded rooms, for lack of grounds, for every sort of evil that might be corrected by a more -Uberat school policy. , Thorough Study Made The present program, it was explained, ! was proposed through the Chamber of Commence, - that had made an exhaustive study of the Salem school, conditions. The board endorsed it, but left it for the people, themselves' to settle. Every member of the board. it was shown,, personally and offi cially approves of the big plan its the only possible solution tor ad equate school facilities. J. C. Perry, president of the Chamber ot Xbmmerce, said that he'd trust the board's judgment to the last cent they recommend ed. Dr. E. E. Fisher said the same. C. D. Pur vine said that he would not favor any plan that did hot take care -of all the old wood en buildings, to replace with fire proof units. Specification, Objected to J. C. Albert objected to the larger appropriation that speci fied -where the money should be spent; on the ground that the city might grow phenomenally In some district not there specified, before the money was (.11 spent, and still the board would be com mitted to spend the money in these specified places instead of taking care of the new growth. It was pointed out ' that, whatever might be the especial local devel opment, any - normal ' growth would call for all the expendi tures proposed under the peti tion plan; and that to provide a definite sum f for every : district now in existence, while all are ur gently heeding immediate atten tion, "is the only rational, far-seeing yay to build a good system. It was argued by various speakers that to put up any small, localized program, would mean to Invite de feat from ' all the other localities that now feel their own needs are as important as those of any other eecttons. " ' Conation Summed Up William Gahlsdorf told ot a re cent visit to the Washington school, and said It was a criminal shame to call it good enough to let alone until a big fire gets it and Its inmates, i Chairman. Walter Wihslow summed up the condition, from the board's , Investigation, like this-;;. ""Here we are. with schools overcrowded, facing fire dangers. If something happens from over crowding, as happened to the Kelso bridge, the people of Salem will pay an -awful price. - If we don't agree to some definite pro gram, we'll get no program at all. Experience shows that within, the next 16 years at even the worst possible figures, we shall need: the last cent of this, bond Issue; we shall spend none 'of the money un til it is heeded "If we knew that the3eop!e would rote for each special need as fast as it arises, we could wait; -but to do that jeopardizes every need serially.
