I The High
How the Bonds will Effect Taxes.
The only real objection which
has been made to the proposition
to vote S25.000 in bonds to erect a
high school building' has been on
the score of the increase it would
make in the taxation. This objec
tion has been raised, as a rule,
cither by properly owners who have
no, children and arc not public
spirited enough to desire the im
provement of the town and its edu
cational advantages, or by those
who are ignorant of the real in
crease it will make in their taxes.
. The bonds arc to be in denomina
tions of $1,000 each, and will bear
four per cent interest. Bonds
numbered one and two will be pay
able ten years after date and the
remaining bonds will be payable in
their numerical order, two each
year, until the entire issue is paid.
The board of education has decided
to levy the tax for the payment of
the interest and principal in this
manner: Vor the first nine years
a levy will be made sufficient to pay
only the interest of?l,000 on the
bonds. At the cud of that time a
levy will be made each .year to pay
both the interest and the
principal of the two bonds
which will fall due each year. Al
ter the tenth year, when the first
payment of bonds is made the in
terest will decrease eightv dollars
each year.
The assessed valuation of the
school district is $-187,130.20. A
levy of two and one-half mills on
this amount will raise sufficient
money to pay the one thousand dol
lars interest each year. When the i
first bonds become due, ten years
hence, three thousand dollars will
have to be raised. A levy of six
and one-half mills on the assessed
valuation wilt raise that amount.
The three following years a levy of
six mills will raise the required
amount. The next three years
will require a levy of live and one
half mills, then three years of five
null levies, one year of a four and
a half mill levy, then a two and a
half mill levy and the bonds, prin
cipal and interest, will have been
paid.
Now to bring the inattef down to
a practical basis and see how. much
the increased levies will increase
the average property holder's tax,
we will take a representative piece
of property in each of the three
wards and see what the increase
will amount to in dollars and cents.
In the Third ward the property in
block 154, owned and occupied as
as a residence by Victor VonCJoeU,
is a fair example. At its assessed
valuation the two and one-half mill
levy will add just exactly FOKTV
FIVI5 CENTS each year to Mr.
Vonttoetz's taxes. When the time
arrives to pay on the first bonds
the six and one-half mill levy,
which will then be necessary, will
increase his taxes one dollar and
seventeen cents. This amount
will grow smaller as the number of
mills levied grows smaller until the
bonds are paid on".
In the Second ward the property
occupied and owned by Win. Whit
lock in block is a good average.
The two and one-half mill levy will
increase his taxes seventy cents
each year. The six and one-half
mill levy will increase it one dollar
and eighty-two cents, this amount
of course growing smaller as the
bonds mature.
The property owned and occupied
by Chas. Stamp, in block M2. is a
fair average of property in the First
ward. The two and one-half mill
levy will increase his taxes sixty
seven and one-half cents each year,
and the six and one-half mill levy
will increase Ihem one dollar and
seventy-live cents each year, this
amount decreasing each year as the
bonds mature and there is less in
terest to pay.
These amounts are but trilles
when weighed in the balance with
the absolute necessity for better
accommodations for our children.
Hut there is also another phase
of the question to be taken into
consideration by the intelligent
voter. The board of education now
levies 1 wenty-five mills each year
for school purposes, twenty mills
for the maintenance of the schools
and five mills for building purposes.
The five nulls levy is rendered
necessary to add to the present
school accommodations by building
wings to the ward schools as is be
ing done this year and to forma
building fund for a high school
School Bond Proposition. f
building unless the bonds carry. II
the present bond proposition carries
there will no longer be any necessity
for this five mill levy and it will
no longer be made but if the bonds
are defeated we will continue to be
assessed twenty-five mills i-.tcli year.
In other words ifthe bonds carry,
in the twenty-three years necessary
to pay them off we will have been
assessed 94 mills for building
purposes and if they arc defeated
in the same length of time we will
have been assessed 115 mills for
building purposes. To again use
a representative piece of properly
as a practical illustration: If the
bonds carry at the cud of twenty
three years Mr. Von Goetz will
have paid $17.01 for building pur
poses, if they do not carry he will
have paid $20.70 for building pur
poses. In other words if the bonds
carry Mr. Von Gocts? will actually
pay ?3.fJLICSS in taxes.
There is still another way in
which the issuing of the bonds will
be a saving to the tax pavers. In
order to accommodate the number
of children now attending school
the board of education is compelled
to rent two buildings at an annual
rental of $540. In addition to the
rent, a janitor has to be hired for
these buildings and is paid 5153
each year for his services. The fuel
for the two buildings cost $12o. The
total cost of these rented buildings
per year Is therefore $819. If the
bonds carry and the proposed build
ing is erected these two buildings
will no longer have to be rented and
the tax payer will therefor be saved
$819 each year, very nearly enough
to pay the interest on the bonds.
Tho NoodofaNow Building.
If any parent would take the
pains to step Into the present High
School building he would become
convinced at once of the needs of
a better, larger and more conve
nient and healthful building.
In the first place, every thing
about the building every part of
it walls, ceiling, stairs, roof and
lloors, all arc decayed and crum
bling away and have a bad influ
ence upon the health and culture of
of tho boy a and girls sent to - this
building.
The building is too small. The
present Hoard of Education has
had two basement rooms fitted up
for school purposes, because they
could do no better, and if we do
not secure a better or larger build
ing they will have to lit up the coal
room next. The school is growing.
There will be at least tenor twelve
more in the High School the com
ing year than there were last year.
What shall we do? Have half
day sessions in the High School?
Then it will take our boys and
girls eight years tograduatc from
the school in the regular course in
stead of four years as now.
The building is inconvenient.
It was not planned for a six room
building. The four rooms up
stairs can be used without incon
venience, but the two basement
rooms cannot. Certainly many

known that school was dismissed in
the basement many times last year
simply because it was so dark
that the pupils and teacher cojld
not sec to read or study. There
is no system of ventilation. Any
one knows that where so many arc
huddled together in a small room
the very best system ot ventilation
should be used so that we might
procure the necessary amount of
pure air. Hut this is not the case
here. And so i t is that the
pupils have so much headache and
tired and stupid feeling when sit

A Statomont from tho School Board,
As there seems to be a misunder
standing on the part of some in re
gard to the disposition of the pres
ent high school building in cabc a
new building is erected would say
that the wording in petition (on
present site) means present block.
The present building will stand as
there is no disposition on part of
board to tear it down. It would be
needed while the new building is in
course of erection and can be used
in many ways profitably afterwards.
The new high school building, if
built, will stand cither directly in
front of old building, and as close
to it as possible, or on one of the
corners of block.

"Tho Milk in tho Cocoanut"
There is no instance which
shows up in a truer light James
Helton's opposition to the issuance
of high school bonds than the fol
lowing: Last year Mr. Helton
submitted a proposition to the
school board that if TIM was per
mitted to name the building com
mittee, he would secure the neces
sary petition calling for a bond
election, and would sec that the
bonds carried. The board placed
the proposition on file without
consideration. Now what was Mr.
Helton's object in wanting to name
the building committee? Did he
doubt the capability of the school
board to award a contract, or did
he expect, in .case his proposition
was accepted, to name a building
committee which he could twist
around his thumb and by hook and
crook make a handsome sum out of
the erection of a high school build
ing? The reader can draw his
own conclusion. The fac t that
Mr. Helton's proposition was not
even considered, made him "sore"
at the board, and the wound was
much aggravated when this year

Judrro Hlnrrmn's Bugaboo.
In last evening's issue of the I5ra,
Judge Ilinman digs up that lossil
ized bugaboo to the effect that if
tho school bonds are voted the in
creased Union Pacific taxes may
result in the company removing the
shops from North Platte. The
Judge uses this argument as a club
to drive shopmen to cast their bal
lots against the bonds. There is
nothing, however, in the Judge's
bugaboo.
Like any individual or corporation
the Union Pacific is opposed to pay
ing excessive or unnecessary taxes,
but in the case of the proposed high
school bonds the taxes will not be
excessive and tho high school build
ing is an imperative necessity. A
fact which cannot be disputed is
that for, two years past the Union
Pacific propertyas well as all
other property in this district has
been assessed twenty-five mills for
school purposes twenty mills for
school maintenance and five mills
for the building fund. If the bonds
carry the liyc mill building fund
will not be levied, and instead only
a two and one-half mill for bond in
terest will be levied for a period of
nine years. Therefore, under the
bond proposition the U. P. company
will pay less taxes for school pur
poses than it has for two years
past. Has any one heard of the
U. P. company kicking against the
twenty-live mill levy? No. Then
certainly the company will not pro
test against the twenty-two and
one-half null levy.
There is absolutely nothing in
Judge Ilinmau's bugaboo; no one
knows it better than the Judge. It
is only, as we have said, an attempt
to frighten Union Pacific employes
and whip them into opposition to
the bonds. Hut the employes will
not be frightened; they read be
tween the lines of the Judge'sarticle
and find that he opposes the bonds
from purely a bellibh and personal
motive,
