Will the Schools Close If We Have
No Saloons?
Last year the town received
From Licenses ¥21,310.51
From taes 11,973.01
total $33,283.32
Of the licenses and taxes received
$13,760.00 was directly from the
saloons, take this from the total and
we have $19,523.00.
Of the licenses received $12,360.00
was from saloons, this leaves $8,
950.00 for license from other sources,
add to this $2,000.00 estimated in
crease from the cannery this year
and we have a total license Income
of $10,950.00
At the sAme valuation for town
taxes, and an increase to 2 per cent,
in rate we get from taxes 318,500.00.
this added to the license gives us
329.150.00 total available revenue for
this year, which is about 31,000 less
than last year. To offset this we
had an expenditure last year of $6,
500.00 that will not be called for
this year as follows:
Building Council rooms 32,000.
Changing Sshool Booms • 2.100
Saving in town salaries 960
Saving in treasurers account 210.
Saving in school salaries 500.
Electric fire alarm system 400.
Total $6,500
The town starts the year in debt
$4,600., about half of this being from
the previous wear. We pay the debt
and have $24,850. left, we take from
this $8,600 for the school the coming
year anl we have $16,250 left. The
town spent for street improvements
last year 510,411.99. We need more
street improvements, so we did last
year, so we will for many years to
come, we can’t do it all in one year
but the schools must go on every
year regardless of other needs.
Can you figure out why we cannot keep our schools open?
