Santa Fe School Bonds Proposal to Pay Contractor
The Board of Education and Santa Fe residents debate funding a new school building. Construction is far advanced and will finish in about two months if funds exist. To pay the contractor, the city faces either a tax now or issuing negotiable bonds at five percent for twenty years. A bond plan would raise about fourteen hundred dollars annually, costing under twenty-five cents per thousand dollars of property as the city’s taxable value grows. If not approved by the September election, the contractor may lien the project and force sale to cover dues, burdening property owners.
