Show : THE BOND ELECTION CALLED THE Board of Education of Beaver county has issued a call for a bond election. This action was foretold by this paper two weeks since. The need of the schools was very great last winter, win-ter, and is growing. The News does not believe in raising the taxes upon the settlers of this new country any faster than is necessary to keep growing well and providing necessary things, or improvements im-provements which, by their making, will secure a saving to the people. The increase in the school census of any new country is usually one of the things that is more rapid than the provisions pro-visions made to take care of it. We usually us-ually build our school houses merely for the present the most expensive thing we can do. Buildings have been erected repeatedly that have been declared to be far beyond the needs of the schools of the community. They would be overflowing over-flowing ere the building debt was half paid. Lots of people shy at voting bond issues. There are two things for which it will always pay to vote bonds good schools well equipped, and good roads. Without going into detail of the needs of the various districts of the county, we wish to call to your attention atten-tion the proposition which the School Board submits and bespeak for the matter of school improvements your earnest interest. The call of the election elec-tion is published elsewhere in this paper. r |
