School Bond Meets

1600,000 school bond will be held at
8 p. m. Monday in the Murphy
High School auditorium. Frank
Forsyth, chairman of the Citizen*
Committee lor the bond, will be In
charge.
The first meeting was held at
Peachtree School Tuesday night.
The meeting followed a luncheon
meeting at the Regal Hotel when
the committee was formed and
Mr. Forsyth elected chairman.
Some 27 farmers and business
men attended the luncheon from
all over the county. And several
men gave their views of the com
ing bond election.
C. E. Hyde pointed out that
some schools in the county were
inferior to most of the grade A
cattle barns in this section.
H. A. Mattox asserted that he
believes taxes will not go up If the
bond is voted in. If there Is ever
any Increase in taxes, he said, It
will not be because of the school
bond. The county can pay off the
bond because it is getting more
money than Is needed to run the
county budget, he said.
If the public can understand
that the county does have enough
money to pay off the bond without
an increase in taxes, the bond
will pass, he said.
Noah Lovingood asked that the
county look for some other way to
build the schools and If no other
way is found, then the bond should
be voted In. Mr. Mattox pointed
lout that all the county school
I boards searched every plan before
