Mahomet’s hill was not the money debt hill faced by the school city of Indianapolis today as shown in the above graph. Bonds totaling $5,000,000 mature in 1939-1940 and must be paid off through sinking fund savings or refunding, or a combination of the two methods. The figures at (Continiis’d From Page One) hazard 20 years ago and remains so. The only drinking fountain at one school is outside the portable structure and in zero weather it freezes and a slow trickle of water bubbles up from an iced trough that resembles a horse-trough. Children shiver as they drink from it. One high school building houses four rooms, side by side, and each room empties into the other from a three-story height. Two stairways, one at each - end of the building and one fire-escape are the sole means of egress. If fire cut off both stairways and the fireescape it would be pecessary for pupils to jump 30 feet to safety. a a a ONE schoolroom is below ground level with artificial lighting necessary regardless of sunlight. The structure was a barn in its heyday.

Admitting these defects, the school building committee in a recent report said of elementary schools of the city, “The committee condemns the continued use of frame buildings because they are poorly lighted and ventilated, are insanitary, and are, therefore, unfit for school purposes.” Following a study of the school city’s needs ti:e school board committees have given approval to the expenditure of $1,460,000 of the

$2,210,000 which it is proposed to spend. The $1,460,000 would be spent as follows: Milo H.

Schools 44. 21, 47 and 35. new additions; total cost, SIBO,OOO. a a a r 1 ''HE $750,000 expenditure which I has not been allocated is expected to be divided equally between Crispus Attucks and George Washington High Schools with possibly Shortridge sharing a portion. Literally one out of every 14 high school pupils in the city is hampered by either improvised seating, overcrowded conditions or inability of teachers to give him all the attention to which he is entitled. Classes, especially shop classes, that for safety purposes, should have no more than 25 or 28 pupils have almost double that number. In one high school typewriting class a Times observer saw a room full of pupils pecking away at machines, while two pupils, lacking space and machines, awaited their turn at the keyboard. Would you pay sl3 for the privilege of borrowing sl6? The Indianapolis school city since 1872 has paid sl3 to borrow sl6. City school boards have issued bonds totaling more than $16,000,000 since 1872 and will have paid $13,000,000 in interest by 1961. To put it another way, the taxpayers will by that time have paid out $29,000,000, or $9,000,000 more than the school city property in its entirety is worth. nan THE commissioners hope they will, be able to reduce, the school city’s bonded indebtedness. The Times finds that the period 1919-1920, is the era that caused the school board the most grief. Bonds totalling $4,901,000 of those issues mature in 1939 and 1940. Since 1920 only $389,000 of $4,865,000 in term bonds issued in those years have been retired. The school city has paid $3,471,030 interest for the use of the $1,865,000 and still owes $4,476,305 principal, plus an estimated $500,000 additional for future interest payments. Simplified it means that if you borrowed $1 in 1919-1920 on the basis of the school board’s method of borrowing by issuance of term bonds then you will have paid before the debt is canceled an estimated 82 cents in Interest, bringing the amount you actually paid to $1.82. School commissioners admit that the $3,471,030 interest paid on term bonds since 1919 would place the school system on a par with almost any city in the nation. The interest would easily finance the proposed $2,210,000 expenditures for the new high school structures. a a a THE survey shows that an estimated $1,250,000 could be expended in addition to the pro-

posed $2210.000 if fire hazards of old weather-beaten structures were to be ended. Discussion of expenditure of this additional money is held in abeyance by commissioners because of the shifting of school populations and the fear that a building planned today might be unnecessary 10 years from now. The Times traces in Its survey how health of school pupils will be benefited by newer structures supplanting outmoded buildings. Viewpoints of tax groups, civic bodies, taxpayers, teachers, and school officials are to be revealed in a recitation of the needs or lack of needs of the city’s school system. —And just suppose that your child brought home a bill daily for services rendered in teaching him or her could you guess what that bill would be? a a a (CCHOOL officials estimate that Mr. and Mrs. John Public would pay 53 cents a day for each of the 62,000 children enrolled in the city school system. Ten years ago the bill would have been 82 cents a day. The above figures are not paid by parents because all taxpayers in the city share in sending your child to school. But taxpayers are interested in tax rates and The Times survey will show that if the “pay-as-you-go” plan was operating today without, the existence of a bonded debt that where this year’s school city tax rate is 89 cents it would be 70 cents or 19 cents less under the “pay-as-you-go” plan. Installment-plan building costs In debt'service an estimated $937,000 yearly in interest on bonds

DOUBTS TRIBES WOULD FREE PAUL REDFERN Missionary on Visit Here Worked Among Brazil Junglrmen. Doubt that Paul Redfem, aviator thought to be held captive in South American jungles, would be released by natives was expressed here by Ford Hendrickson, missionary for many years in the vicinity where Redfern is being sought. More superstitious than African tribes, the Brazilian junglemen would rather worship his body than set him at liberty, Mr. Hendrickson said. Mr. Hendrickson, now here on a visit, spent six years among the savages of the Brazilian Jungles. He is superintendent of the Samaritan Missionary Association.
