NEW YEAR
I 1 i ..... f,
? iWe wish to urge upon all voters in the Special
: Schobol Taxing District for the Marshall district
to register and vote for the proposal of enlarging
ttie district, and voting a special tax of thirty
cents over the entire district as enlarged for the
purpose of equalizing educational opportunities
within the district.
This election is held under the law enacted by
w ' the General Assembly of 1923. Under the law
. it is possible to enlarge districts and vote a spec
ial tax for the support of all the schools within
the proposed taxing district. After the election
is carried the Board of Education has the author
ity to organize the schools within the said taxing
district so that the educational opportunities
may be equalized. Sec. 239, of Art. 18, states:
"The County Board of Education is hereby au
thorized to organize the schools in a special tax
ing district after a special tax has been voted m
such a way as to equalize educational opportuni
ties within said district."
Tf thP Portion carries it will operate to repeal
all existing rates heretofore voted, and the rate
will be the one voted in the special school taxing
district. Section 238 of Art. 18, under which
pWtinn is held states: "If a majority of the
qualified voters in the special school taxing dis
itrict, shall vote in favor of the special school tax,
then it shall operate to repeal all school taxes
heretofore voted in any local or special charter
district located within said special school taxing
Idistrict" except tax that may have been votea
for bonds.
It is estimated that this election will yield be
tween $2000.00 and $2,500.00. The raiiroaa a
lnno will nnv nracticallv $1400.00 additional tax
fnr th snnnnrt of the school. The other two dis-
tricts will furnish the remainder
TVio nHvaTitac-p tht the Skvland and Pleasant
View'districts will gain'by voting this tax, is that
these districts will share m the funds so that tneir
school term will be lengthened and that all their
high school pupils will share the opportunity of
the Marshall High School and Elementary
SchCol without any additional costs for tuition or
transportation charges. So long as the schools
are maintained at Skyland ana rieasani v iew
iha Wtyi will be eiffht months, providing the elec
tion carries. This will also give these places the
opportunity to get well trained teachers every
year, as the term will be longer, thus warranting
teachers who have the best preparation iu ctu-
ont work there.
Application for a loan from the Special Build-i.4T.-nA
v.oo lioon nrmmvpfl hv the Board of
County Commissioners for a loan of oo,50U.UU
for the purpose of building a new building at
Marshall. It is very necessary that this election
be carried so that funds may be available to pay
off the interest and installment on this loan as it
comes due.
It is not known yet whether the loan will be
granted, but if the election carries, there will be
hut little dnnht about its beine: approved. But it
it does not carry, then it is almost a certainty that
it will not be. for the reason that ther." will not be
sufficient funds to care for the loan as it comes
due. '
The building need at Marshall is very great.
The present building is entirely inadequate for
the children who are attending. There is no
playground for games or physical exercise. It is
very inaccessible. Therefore the building does
not serve as a community center as it should.
Part of the building is unhygienic and unsanitary,
and cannot be mv.de because of the location.
The lighting is very bad in some of the rooms.
Toilet facilities not only are inadequate, but un
sanitary. The water for drinking purposes is
not sufficient. In fact but very few things in the
You bring new hopes in sunny rays,
