TO VOTE ON SCHOOL
TilX SEPTEMBER 22.
Pursuant to a call by ttoe Ordi
nary an eleetioa will be held at
Perry on next Tuesday September
22nd to decide whether or not a
special lax shall be levied on
property in the Perry Consoli
dated School District for school
maintenance purposes. One fourth
of the qualified voters of the dis
trict petitioned the Ordinary to
call this eleetion. The need for
additional funds for school main
tenance is urgent here, and the
only remedy is to raise the seeded
funds by special taxation. This is
the method almost universally
adopted, and in fact has already
been adopted in two other con
solidated schools of this county.'
On the outcome of the election
depends the futuro progress of
the school and its continuation at
A-1 school with a full nine
months term. It is confidently be
lieved that the measure will re
ceive a vote more than sufficient
to carry.
