It Is thought by tho directors that they will be en abled to pay $2000 on tlia district's Indebtedness with tlio remainder from this levy after current and incidental expenses are deduct d. Tho Indebt edness of the district Is $ 1 3,000. This will be tho first puyment made on tho debt of tho district in three years. The last payment was made In 11)06 when a tax levy of ten mills was made. At tho time of the ten mill levy there was a valuation of $500,000 of property In the district. Tho value of tho property of tho dis trict is now $996,380. It will be seen that the levy of five mills of this year Iti little short of that of ten mills t )iv.: years aio.

On account of the crowded condition of first, and second grades, pupils cannot receive tlio Individual attention that they should.

Tho problem of ventilation la one that enters largely into con sideration when rooms are over crowded, v I This is tho situa'ion which con fronts the board of directors at this time. Th3 building of an annex to the school building offers a solution to the problem and would also make the addition of tho 11th and 12th grades possible. Ths.'se are now be ing added, however, under strenuous conditions. To build the annex more grounds must be secured and there Is nono available except by condemn ing public thoroughfares" to school purposes. The appropriation of the adjacent streets on the east and west side of the , school building would solve the problem. '. This plan was adopted at Corvailis when the popula tion of (ho district increased to such .Ui extent that the school pullding was inadequate to meet the occasion. The situation is one that must be met. II is a hindrance to the coming to Independence of bomebuildnrs.
