BOARD TO RAISE THE SCHOOL TAX This Action Necessary to Meet Bonds fof ik New Higl DEBATE 0 BONDS BOARD FAVOIS ISSUING SHORT TERM BOND6T REALIZES THAT THE LONG TERM BONDS SELL MUCH BETTER. ' TO raise funds for the construction and equipment of the new hi school building, Ninth and North m streets, the school board of the citjrof Richmond will sell $175,000 of hfnds in the near future. Money Mill" raised in order to pay for the bpS by increasing the city school taWfrom 70 cents to between 75 and SOfcents per hundred dollars of assessed valuation. The board has not decided on the conditions , for selling . the bonds; whether to make them of long term issue, or to be payable at intervals. Both methods are s desirable and the decision 4 of the board will depend" on the details remaining to be worked out. The. short term bond is more aesirable to the board in "that not so much is expended on Interest Long Term 8ells Better. However, the long term bond usually sells better. It has -been, the case In the past that corporations i issuing short term bonds have had to sell at par, while the other kind usually brings interest at the time of sale. Superintendent T. A. Mott, in discussing the matter this morning stated that the raise would be so small that it would hardly be worthy of notice. He declared that the tax after the raise would be well under the limit, which is $1.25. Althoueh contracts let up to date call for an expenditure of approxl mately $168,000. Mr. Mott believes that $175,000 will more than cover the entire cost of the building and equip ment Should it be more tnan sumdent to cover the cost the remainder will be placed in, the depositary and draw interest, i i AN IRATE RESIDENT.
