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? GOOD HOME FOR SALE Porty acres of land.
