It will be remembered that the proposed bond issue was opposed by the farm and the taxpayers association, and the election was postponed. A thorough survey of the school conditions was made by the taxpayers as sociation committee, and this committee agreed that the money asked for by the school hoard was really needed if the schools are continued and maintained at the same general A dishigh standard of efficiency. sension. however, crept into the committee and a majority and a minority report were submitted to the taxpayers association. The majority report recommended that the bond issue be limited to $150,000, and the balance of the money needed should be raised by special taxes from time to time. The minority report recommended that the full amount asked for by the school board, $250,000, be raised by bonding. This report set forth that all agreed the money was needed, and urged that the bonding proposition was the proper method for securing the money. After a long discussion the minority report was bu-rea- adopted. At last b-- 'v-rri- MAA fUV A' u Saturdays meeting an effort was made by members of the association to have the taxpayers whole matter opened again and another investigation instituted. This proposition was rejected by the board, the members agreeing that as both reports of the former investigating committee agreed that the money asked for was needed, and only a difference in method of raising the money being the issue it would be better to put the matter up to the taxpayers of the county and let them decide the question. Accordingly, July 7 was agreed upon for the bond election and the clerk was instructed to make the necessary arrangements for the bond election. The board also agreed on Saturday, June 27, as the date for presenting the school budget for the coming year to the taxpayers. Accordingly those interested in school expenditures will have the opportunity to examine this budget at the school board office on the date set. J. S.
