Axa-t ý qcv4IjiTi-.m tai following a recent meeting of the board that unless $25,000 worth of tax anticipation warrants are sold the schools will remain closed. It is, imperative that a sufficient sum beraised to guarantee the oper- ation of the Josepb, Sears school un- tii -Christmas if the school is to -open at al, members of the board of edu- cat ion f eel. The $25,0O woul be enough to take, care of the operatin g expenses for three months, Trhe- Kenilworth board of education rwt unly cnt -the sc.hool budget for iîext' year twetity percent, b)ut' re- duced the ta-X levy for 'the. 1932-1933 terrn from $105,000 to S90,000, Teach- ers' salaries. have been reduced f rom 1to 15 percent. Sehlool Board to Ponder Finance Problem Monday Menibers of the Wilmette board of education wilI meet Monday night, Au;- gust 22, to discuss plans for raising nîoney to open the Wilmette public scbools next montb. At, preèsnt thereý is practically no. cash on hand, and the schools are. faced -with an indefinite shut-down.. The stiuation is f urtber cornplicated by the f act that a recent Supreme court decision niakes it impossible for* 1932. educational tax warrants to be sold as jnvestinents. The warrants inay be used, bio\ev.er, to pay taxes. The Supreme court decision does flot affect 1931 tax warrants. There was a disappointing response to the- hotise-to-house campaign. con- ducted last spring for the purpose of raising nioney 'to kecep the Wilmette scbools 'open.. NoNw the village is faced with an upprecedented stain-no public . schools in operation-unless cash cati be, obtained witbhin the next f ew 'f ments i uesciay night, and alterco n- sicterable discussiôn on the matter it was decided to readvertise for bids, which wiIl be opened at the next regu- lar meeting ofth board on Tuesday, September 6.

Meyer Con- struction company. of H Iighland Park, and Arcole Construction coipany, Of Nuîes Center. .M. Foley was tbe low bidder, with a total of $33,173.50 'for the entire job. 0Of this amount. $12,873.29 was to be paid by the Village and $20,3002t by the county. The -highway is to be fifty-two f eet wide, and ýthe county will pa y for the central forty f eet. .Penalty Agaiit Village Because of the f act that the county is ready to pay cash for the work, white the Village intended to pay for ils portion, witb special assessment bonds, the contractérs p laced' a greater charge against the Village in propor-. tion to its sbare of the work. There is no market for the bonds now, accord- ing to the contractors. Members of the Village board, and. -Village President C. P. Dubbs-in par-. ticular, objected strongly',to this penal- ty against tbe Village. ."We h ad, better stop ail construction work than pay the penalty the. contractors ask" Mr. Dubbs said.
