partments for every branch of the

It is required by law that every voter on this propo-
jsition live within the school district, be a property taxpayer
and be the holder of a [toll tax receipt. There are enough
! legal property owners in Borger who support schools to pass
the issue in question. The requisite is for them to not forget
their duty tomorrow in going to the polls and casting a vote.
Ai present our schools are hundreds of dollars in debt.
They were built to meet the emergency which arose before
the beginning of the school term just ending. They have
met the emergency even better than patrons had hoped for.
; But with rapid and almost unbeleivable growth of the city
they have become inadequate. Enrollment for last year
Itotalled nearly 2,000, with all pupils under 7 years old forc-
ed to remain at home. A survey has proven the crowded exisi-
! ing conditions and the need for more buildings, equipment
and teachers. What would next year's school be like with an,
addition of so,me 500 more pupils, with the school board far
in debt, with not enough room to care for the present number
of students?
Property owners, who are willing to vote against an es-
sential bond issue like this, surely are not thinking of what
the.\ are doing, 01 are acting under pressure from some person
.or organization. Taxpayers who are willing to face the facts i
squarely must realize their duty in putting over this ques-
