Octobr 4, 934 IA.ETa 1r M HIGH SCHOOL. SELLS BONDS; Pay Day for Teachers Deferred Until Munds Are Obtained; Credit Position Good The, board of education of New Trier Township High school dis- trict bas solci to the Harris, Trust and Savings Bank« of Chicago $74,00 par value of 4!/ per cent funding bonds of the district at. a price to make the interest cost to the dis- trict 4.12 per cent per year. The bonds wiIl mature serially fromt 1940 to '1954. About a dozen banking houses made bids for the bonds. This financing accomplishes a two- fold service. It pays teachers' sal- artes. and other accumulated bills;, and it reduces interest costs, which, if tax anticipation warrants were used, wouîd be about 5 per cent per year. The transaction wvas made po~ssible by the improvement. in the municipal bond market since last winter and by emergency legisla- tion on behaîf of the smaller school districts of the state. The law under which the financing was made pos- sible will expire by limitation next Teachers Mis* Pay Day For the first time in the history" ()f New Trier High school, teachers couli flot be paid their September ,alaries due to lack of funds.

This brîngs the total of warrants of the district out- standing to about $220,000, which is the s mallest amout. outstanding since the depression and' the tax muddle made it necessary -to operate schools erltirely on borrowed money.
