Trustees Warn of School Tax Needs and Shortage
A letter from Jackson, H. Derrick, and FR. McGavony outlines school expenses for the coming year, calculating monthly costs at 900.54 for teachers plus 360 for janitor and other items, totaling a deficit of 1700 to 1800. The writers urge the district to authorize maintenance taxes not exceeding 50 cents per $100 valuation to preserve the school system and address outstanding debts. They note current resources and potential collection costs, and call for elections to approve the levy.

Receivers Seek 2.25 Million Certs For C M O Rail Plan
Kansas City April 22 receivers propose to issue 2.25 million dollars in certificates if the Kansas City Mexico and Orient railroad improvement is submitted to Federal Judge Pollock for approval at a hearing today. Judge Pollock will decide next Saturday. One million is to complete the Granada Texas to Alpine Texas link improving connections with the Southern Pacific. No construction planned in Mexico or Wichita. Receivers say the road should be self supporting and some funds would repay Kansas creditors if approved.
