PLEDGE $255,000 ' BOND ISSUE TO MANUAL HIGH Tax Board Members Recognize Importance of School Needs. PLAN OTHER BUILDINGS Assurance that approval will be given a $225,000 bond Issue to permit addition of shop facilities to Manual Training High school was extended, to members of the Indianapolis board of school commissioners at an informal conference witty the Indiana tax board today. Tax commissioners assured the school officials that the board Is not insensible to the importance of school needs at this time, nor to the vastly increased cost of building schools. Members of the school outlined plans for three new school buildings and. six school additions by way of acquainting the tax board with the condition of school finances. LEGISLATION AXI) SALARY QUESTION DISCUSSED. The question of whether a general school statute passed by the last legislature repealed a statute passed earlier In the same session giving the Indianapolis school board specific authorization to borrow money for school salaries In the sum of one-third the special school fund was discussed, and the general opinion was that the specific statute would be held to prevail. That point will be left for settlement by the financial firms from which money Is to be borrowed. Several weeks ago the tax board authorized the issuance of $300,000 by the Indianapolis schools for the Manual Training addition. The school board asked for bids and the lowest received was $512,000. The proposed new bond issue is to cover that shortage. ARCHITECTS DECLARE BIDS ARE LOW. Architects have advised the school board that contractors’ bids on three proposed new school buildings are exceptionally low. The cost will not exceed $15,000 per school room. In Cleveland a large school building program has been adopted on a basis of $25,000 a school room for essentially the same kind of buildings that will be erected here. Fred W. Simms, of the tax board, told the school commissioners that the attitude of the board on the matter of teachers’ salaries is to lend all co-opera-tion possible to bettering conditions. The board recently promised a committee of teachers, he said, to consider any petition for a bond issue to increase Indianapolis teachers' pay “on Its merits." RULING ON SALARY QUESTION DISCUSSED. ” The recent opinion of the attorney general that teachers' salary Increases can not be made retroactive was informally discussed. Six thousand children In Indianapolis are attending half-day sessions because facilities can not be provided for longer sessions, members of the school board said. The city's school population Is now about 70,000, and the school attendance has grown very rapidly of recent years because more children are attending high school now than formerly.
