Bowman, county achooi super intendent, today drew a very dis couraging picture of the financial situation of schools in Jackson county. "The answer Is essy to school au thorities, who know the true condi tion of school finances," he lead his reply. "Many schools will close. Others may run only a short term. "Schools cannot run without funds, especially when thirty-nine of our districts are now already consldersbly in the red. School authorities can furnish the physical equipment, such a buildings, furniture and textbook, which are already on hand, but the patrons will have to furnish the money, which means only one thing tuition. 'Do not be deceived because re cent tax collection have been re ported as good. Here are the facts: "Nearly a million dollars in Jack son county 1 yet delinquent on th two years, 1031 and 1033. And a million dollars 1 yet to be collected of the 1033 taxes. Remember, that the tsx collections, recently made, are the cream snd that tax payment from now on until the close of thj calendar year will be slow and small. "Your vote on May 18th may help to decide whether your child or your neighbor's child will continue to have school privileges. A vote against the ssles tax is vote to close many of our schools or to put them on a tuition basis if they are to remain open." Ocean steamer reaching Wilming ton. N.
