program, hut since Mr. Christian
a: i Mr. Pepper have seen lit to make
their remarks, m part, personal, I
\\ i.-h to make my own position clear.
First: Mr. Pepper states that I
. noneojsly claimed that the school
i-u iget submitted to the county com
missioners i'.r their approval asked
for .$11)0,000 with which to put on
the building program of the county.
It is hardly necessary to repeat, he
'cause the readers of the Reporter will
remember, that I stated the school
budget asked for about a $lOO,OOO.
Attempting to show me in error, Mr.
| IV-piK'r stated that the budget asked
for only $BO,OOO. To be exact, the
] Board of Education, through their
1 school budget asked for $OB,OOO, and
while the commissioners refused to
i allow them but $BO,OOO, the Board of
Education had an opportunity to se
cure $lB,OOO from another source
without the endorsement of the Board
•••f County Commissioners, and they
pursued this course, thereby making
the total budget for building fund
Si's,uno, and hence, my statement,
■"ab.ut a .>100,000." Accepting these
ii,i.i - I. nig true, why does Mr.
I'. iv- r fail to recite the facts in the
case. when we have reason to be-
