The Itemizer has lately received some criticism from friends o f the college because we stated that the college grounds would be offered to the school district for $15,- 000. This information came to us from a jierfectly re liable source, and seems to have been a misunderstand ing between members o f the board. If it was not correct we should have been so notified by those most interest ed. as all well know we had no desire to mislead the people regarding the price. And we really have not done so, some o f the board yet holding to their express ed opinion that the property is not worth the price. We wish to be perfectly fair in this matter to both the college and our taxpayers, honestly believing the prop erty not worth the price asked for any purpose. Our citizens have lately been burdened considerably in the expenditure o f money, all for good and legitimate pur poses, but the line must be drawn somewhere we can not give up more than we are making. When it comes to bonding our district for another $20,000 and then be asked to help in constructing the proposed new college building, it will be a serious drain on many o f our pur ses. We acknowledge it to be a most critical time for the college people, in order to give them a chance to expand, and honestly hope some other solution of the difficulty may be offered, and the college continue with us and grow and expand until it becomes one of the greatest exponents o f higher education on the coast. It was our intention to publish another statement from the college people regarding their aims, but find this morning that we have mislaid the copy handed us. The college needs the interest from this $20,000 and enough more to erect their administration building, is the prop osition as we understand it.
