TO BUY COLLEGE PROPERTY People to Decide Question of Issuing- Bonds to Amount of $10,000 For Public School Purposes. The Hoard of Education of Hllls boro have called a special election for Tuesday, December 14, to consider tho questions of Issuing $10,000 In bonds for tho purposo of purchasing a site for a school houso and to repair and furnish such school house. If tho election carries it is tho in tention of tho Board of Education to uso tho money, in an effort to pur- chase and equip the old Hlllsboro College property for public school pur poses and for no other purpose. Tho position of tho board and Its Intentions was explained to a repre sentative of tho Nkws-IIkuald by J. B. Worlcy, clerk of tho board on Tues day. Mr. Worloy said ; "Tho board of education has had up tho matter of securing the old Hlllsboro College property with repre sentatives of the Methodist Confer- UIICU UI1U U1U SIVUKIIUIU11IK 11 U3VM3 1UI . a long time. Many meeting nave Deen held and propositions and counter propositions made. It is the desire of the board to be in a position to take some definite action In the mattor and this election is callod to find out how the people stand on the questions. If they are opposed to purchasing tho ! property we want to know It and If thoy aro In favor of It we want to bo in a position to act If we can agree with the parties now Icontendlng over the property. "Wo have mado a proposition to the contending parties tnat u tnoy win come into court and make a good title to the village, that we will pay into court $0,000 to these parties and allow , "7,7 '"'" """' . 1 , ,. T them to divide It as (hey see fit. We lllare" 8Pent, af ek with tela thought It advisable to Issue bonds to t,ves nd f r,em,s atRuBsellvllle. tho amount of $10,000 if at all, as it will take $3,000 or $1,000 to equip the bulldlnir for use, if we purchase It. Wo will not pay ove"r $0,000 for the property and if wo can not purchase it, even if the election carries, the bonds will not be issued. "At tho present time tho stock holding trustees are lu possession of the property and have offered to sell their claims for $5,000. Tho Methodist Conference also asks about $3,000 for their Interest. If the bond Issue car ries wo will be in a position to at once settle up tho mattor if wo can agree with tho other parties. "Every one who is conversant with the conditions existing luour schools is aware that additional facilities are needed and the board believes that if the college property can bo secured for $0,000 that It will be au excellent Investment for Hlllsboro. Wo havo not cone into tho merits of tho re- spectlve parties claiming the property and we aro now simply endeavoring to secu re a school site as cheaply as possible for Hlllsboro and have called this election to seo whether tho peo ple are willing that wo shall pay $0,000 for the college property." There Is no question but that addi tional school facilities are needed bore and there Is no question but thati Hlllsboro will secure a wonderful bar- J gain If the college property can bo so-, cured for $0,000. In this election the merit of the claims of the Methodist Conference and tho stockholding trus tees to tho property should not in (luenco anyone. The main thing Is to secure suitable property for school purposes as cheaply as possible. It should make no difference to the peo ple of Hlllsboro who gets tho money, tho question Is to secure tho property for school purposes. If you aro In favor of paying $0,000 for tho college property even if you think somebody will got tho money who Is not entitled to It, vote for tno bond Issue.
