Many people have asked why the proposed
grade school could not be built entirely by bonds.
T he lawful increased bonded indebtedness of the
district is $12.500 This is not sufficient to build
any kind of Bchool, consequently the school board
is attem pting to raise $12,500 by direct tax also.
Tliis direct tax m ust be raised In one year be
cause the law does not perm it It being spread
