REMEMBER THE DATE, JULY 17TH Action Will be Taken at the Meet- ing Fixing Compensation of Trustees, Levying Taxes and Buildings Considered. James D. Doran, clerk of school district No. 1, has issued the offi- cial call for the annual school meet- ing which will be held at Village hall next Saturday evening, July: 17, at 8 o’clock. This is an important metting of citizens and should be at- attended by all tax-payers and voters. All should be interested in school affairs and the transaction of this branch of public business should not be left to the dictation of any particu- lar element or faction. There should be a free discussion of school affairs, and those present should not hesitate to make inquiries concerning matters that are not clear or satisfactory to them. The tax levy for the next year will be made by vote at this meeting, and the compensation of the trustees will be fixed. The building of rural schools will also be con- sidered and voted upon. This is an unusually large and important school district, which maintains more than forty rural schools in addition to the schools of Grand Rapids, Co- hasset, Feeley, Big Fork, Blackberry, Grand Napids Herald-Beview.

To keep this num- ber of schools runing requires no Small snm of money, and no small amount of careful attention on be- half of the members of the board. Trustee Reusswig informs the Her- ald-Review that the board has esti- mated the probable amount required for the next year will be $75,000. Last year’s levy was $82,000. During the past year a large number of rural schools were built, and the board es- timates that during the present year the demands for outside school build- ings will not be as great as during the past year. In this way the required expenditures will be appre- ciably less. A complete and exhaustive report of the expenditures for the past year will be submitted at* the meeting Saturday night. LARGE NUMBER ATTEND SOCIAL Everybody Attended Lawn Social Given for the Improvement of the Hospital Grounds. The ice cream social given for the improvement of the hospital grounds Thursday afternoon and evening was a complete successin every particu- lar. The sum of about one hundred dollars was realized, clear of all ex- penses. The beautifully wooded dale to the east of the hospital was tastily decorated with Chinese lan- terns and the whole scene was illum- inated with electric lights, the grounds being wired especially ~ for the occasion, and the tables arrang- ed about in an artistic manner. They were well filled the greater part of the afternoon and evening. The band gave the regular Thurs- day evening concert at the grounds and played until about 8:30 o’clock when a light shower caused the crowd to disperse.

This is the only proper method to follow in making public improvements of any kind. Better results are secured and better satis- faction results in every way. The extra cost entailed on jobs of less than one hundred dollars, if let by contract, would bea foolish expen- diture of money. The expenses of the engineer, the drawing of plans and specifications, advertising, etc., would be as great for a $25.00 job as if the work involved an expendi- ture of a thousand dollars. In some instances the preliminary ex- penses would equal the total cost of improvement. The election will be held next Tues- day at the town hall. In the resolu- tions published today the purpose for which the road money will be used is set forth in detail, and voters should read the resolution over care- fully and acquaint themselves with the action taken by the board in response to public demand. It is provided that the bonds shall run for a- period of fifteen years. The assessed valuation of the township of Grand Rapids will increase enor- mously during that period and the payment of these bonds will not be felt by those who are voting for them at this time. That the roads are needed badly at this time all agree. Why, then, should the pre- sent generation be compelled to wade through sand knee deep; througl mud and over rocks and stumps when much relief may be had at once? Every good piece of road built en- hances the value of every tract of jJand in that particular locality, and hence every resident is benefitted either directly or indirectly.

It has at no time been proposed by the council that the village should bear one-half the expense, and in no event would the expense be paid by a special levy. The costs to the village thus incurred would be paid out of the general fund in the regu- lar way and without the raising of any additional taxes.
