Bond Vote Important To Perquimans "We hope the citizens of Per quimans County are informed on the ; urgent need to vote FOR school building bonds on Tues day, November 3," says Mrs. R. S. Monds, chairman of the Per quimans "Urgent" Committee to sponsor the spreading of infor mation. ". ;" Perquimans County's share of the $100 million to be voted on would be around $214,000. (This amount is allotted on the basis of -average daily attendance fig ures in our schools in this county). ' In Perquimans the $214,000 would be used for much needed repair and renovation of school rooms and their equipment. The state ; taxes . ' we now pay , for schools, - including sales, bever age and income taxes, go for operating our schools. The food tax was not. levied for school building, c None of bur state tax goes for capital improvements. When we have to build or re pair, or . renovate school build ings, each County traditionally bears its own expense. The $100 million bond issue is an attempt on the state level to relieve the counties of the burden of more property. tax for capital im provements. Passing thp bond referendum will save us money in Perquim ans. If the proposal is approved on November 3, our most urgent class room needs will be spread over the state and the expenses will not have to be met by Per quimans County. If the state bends are not approved, Per quimans will have to, sooner or later, raise its property tax to meet our school repair and renovation needs. No new state tax will- be levied for repayment of . the bonds. The : eneri fund reve nue in North .Carolina is now sufficient . to retire, the bonds. -' These bonds will' be. reoaid bv the state from existing and fu ture surplus from regular taxes, . bonuauea on Fc; 3 '
