o n the proposed bond election for school
district N o. 5, T hursday, July 5
We feel that the children of Ashland and the surrounding communities deserve and need ade-
*
quate school facilities.
The proposed bond election will provide for a ne w school, at a cost of '305,090, to replace the old,
worn out Washington School—a new school on Walker Avenue, at a cost of $118,003, to help
take care of the increased school population—and an addition to Lincoln school at a cost of SI 15,-
000. An additional $12,000 will be used for equipment.
Total cost for an adequate school system for this community is then 5553,090, to be paid cff, at 3
per cent interest, in eleven years. The total levy will be 11 mills, four more than local citizens a e
presently paying.
We think it’s a smart investment. We’re voting “ YES.”
