WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH YOUR
SCHOOLS?
$16,50 taxes upon each $1,000.00 of assessed valuation The*tax
rate of Fort Valley is $1.80, or $18.00 on’each $1,000.00; that
of Moultrie and Hawkinsville, $2.00, or $20.00 per $1,000.00.
These figures prove that Carrollton Ms riot a high tax rate
cofhpaPed with other Georgia towns of the same class.
Carrollton is levying to run her schools at the present time,
$5.50 per thousand; Griffin, $8.’00, per thousand; Fort Valley,”
$9.00 j>er^ thousand; Hhwkinsville, $10.00 per thousand, and
Moultrie, »nd of the best towns in Georgia, and one of the few
in which Swift<&- Company have located a packing plant, $11.00
peir thousand. These figures show that othfer towns are paying
much more' to dffticatu’ the oncoming generation than is Car
rollton. There are a number of towns of Carrollton’s size in
the industrial eastern and middle western States that have a
rate for school purposes four times as high as Carrollton’s. In
other words, while we are levying $5.50 per thousand, towns
of our size in Massachusetts and North Dakota are levying to
educate their children $22.00 per thousand. The fact that
these States have given attention to their schools, accounts for
the leadership they are now maintaining in all educational, in
dustrial and financial affairs of the nation. Let us not fall into
the habit of complaining about our tax rate, when a little in
vestigation will show that our total tax rate is far below the
average tax rate Qf other towns our size throughout the couidry.
The tendency to complain about all faxes has been inherited
from our ancestors, who had no say so as to what their taxes
should be. Some people are going to complain, no matter how
low the tax rate is.
Exactly What U Proposed
The members of the Board of Education of Carrollton, who
are merely School Trustees of this city, have to face the prob
lem and find some solution for it. More money must be xaised,
or else our schools cannot compete with those of other cities.
Shall we raise the rate of tuition in the High School, when many
parents can hardly pay the $2.00 per month per pupil that is
now charged? If we were to raise the rate of tuition frotoi
$2.00 to $4.00 per month, many bfight boys and girls who are
now attending our High School would have to stop, because
their parents could not pay the additional $18.00 per year per
pupil.
After having carefully considered the entire situation, the
Board of Education of Carrollton unanimously passed a reso
lution, asking the Mayor and Council of the city to call an elec
tion on December 19th, for the purpose of voting on an increase
of $2.50 per thousand for school purposes. The Mayor and
Council have ordered this election. If the people vote an in
crease of $2.50 per thousand in the taxes for school purposes,
it will not be a real burden upon anybody, but will take care of
our schools decently. The question we.,are going to ask you to
vote on on December 19th is: “Are you willing to pay $2.50
per thousand more on the assessed valuation of your property
that our schools may not suffer disaster?” If your property is
assessed at $1,000.00, the additional tax will cost you only
$2.50. If assessed $10,000.00, it will cost you only $25.00 a
year more. If you were worth $100,000.00, it would cost you
only $250.00 a year more. Will you not vote for this measure
for the sake of Carrollton’s future citizens?
