A doped by
Commissioners
The people of Greensboro will, on Tues
day, January 18, 1921, decide by ballot
whether or not tlie city shall issue $1,000,-
000 in bonds for the purpose of erecting
additional school buildings, purchasing-
sites for buildings, and the equipping of
these buildings. This fact was decided by
the board of city commissioners at its reg
ular meeting yesterday afternoon when it
unanimously adopted “an ordinance to au
thorize the issuance of $1,000,000 school
bonds and provide for the payment of the
principal and interest thereof.”
The city board of education has been at
work for some months on plans for reliev
ing the congested situation in the schools
of the city and for providing modern, hy
gienic buildings and equipment for the
children of Greensboro; and the cost of the
proposed improvements, according to the
ordinance adopted yesterday, based upon
estimates submitted by experts, will be $1,-
.000,000.
In order to provide the necessary funds,
therefore, the city will, when the ordinance
is approved by the voters, issue bonds not
exceeding that amount, and will levy an
nually a tax sulScient to pay the principal
and interest of the bonds. The action of
the commissioners was taken pursuant to
the municipal finance act.
As required by this act, a statement of
the debt of the city has been filed 'with the
city clerk, which shows that the amount of
the nyet debt outstanding, authorized or to
be authorized, including this issue, is $2,-
254,155. The assessed valuation of prop
erty subject to taxation by the city for the
fiscal year 1920, as shown by the state
ment, is $46,670,053.
A special registration has been ordered
for this school building bond election, and
all who wish to vote in the election will
liave to register in the special registration
books provided for the purpose. These
hooks will be opened for the registration of
all qualified voters between 7 a. m. and

First Game With Asheville Thanksgiving.
The girls’ basket ball team-opens its sea
son Thanksgiving night at Asheville, N. C.,
with the Asheville High School team as op
ponents. This will be the first time in four
years that these two schools (girls) teams
have met. Our girls are going to Asheville
with a determination to win, and knowing
that G. H. S. is backing them this year as
it has in the past, they know that they will
win.
The next game will also be away from
home and will be played at Danville, Va.,
vs. Randolph-Macou Institute. The team
met our team two years ago and won, but
we are sure that they will not win this time.
Prepai-ations are being made now to
liave a game here Dee. 11th. This year the
girls have secured Graham Warehouse for
practice. There are a large number of
girls coming out for practice. They are
being coached this year by Misses Morrow
and Dry. Mr. York, the coach of last year,
will not have much time to give to the girls
tills year because he has charge of the boys ’
athletics, which will take up most of his
time.

With Fine Response.
A res])onse, splendid and typical, was
that of the boys aqd girls of the High

tributed $10, the amount necessary to feed
and clothe one child during the winter.
Later a simple statement made in the
chapel to the assembled pupils that there
were three and one-half millions of starv
ing children in central and southeastern
Europe called for a quick and hearty re
sponse. The boys and girls took great
pleasure in making their thank offering in
tliis way at this Thanksgiving season.
