DISCUSS DIVISION HIGH SCHOOL DIST. (Continued from‘ page 1) ways a part of â€"our high sehool disâ€" trict and now embraced in Lake Forâ€" est, there are few students in proâ€" portion to the wealth. Thus, it has approximately $578,000, behind each high school student; whereas, Highâ€" land Park has but $28,000, and Highâ€" wood and Deerfield still less. Nearly half of the school tax comes from Shields township and from that part of slast and West Deerfield now included in the withdrawal area . of Lake Forest. The present high school tax rate is approximately .O111. The legal rate of .01375 is not safficient to‘maintain the school at its present level of efficiency â€" if Lake Forest withdraws taking a large slice of the original township high school district. If on the other hand the loss of a large part of the original district were not involved in the separation of Lake Forest, the problem would not be a serious one. Few would obâ€" ject to the natural desire of Shields township to have a school of its own, more accessible to its students. GEORGE J. MeBRIDE, Pres. C. w. GETTY NELLIE P FLINN. Township high school district the Press by the signers with quest that it be printed. Th assumes no responsibility in t To the People of ‘the Deerfieldâ€" Shields High School District: ; It is our understanding that many people in the Decrfieldâ€"Shields High school district are asking, "Why do the people of Lake Bluff want their village and environs annexed to the Decrfield district?" Here are some reasons advanced by many of our peoâ€" pleâ€"submitted at the request of some of your people: learning as generally and widely as the credits of any school im the land. A heavy percentage of our young people attend our colleges and uniâ€" versities. Here again the advantages are obvious. 4. The rapidly growing and diverâ€" sified interests of our age put a preâ€" mium on larger and wider knowledge and facilities for teaching â€" and stronger teaching forces. Deerfield‘s faculty is strongâ€"after years of selection, training and exâ€" perience. More and more money will be required to maintain, strengthen and enlarge the facilities and faculty of this school. Lake Bluff is proposâ€" ing the annexation of a territory that will add quite as much to Deerfield‘s present and growing resources in taxâ€" ation as any service the children from this territory could ever possibly cost, proportionately. This territory will play its own way abundantly and the question of full payment for benefits realized at Deerâ€" field by our community has been troublesome for some years. This solution is, we understand, agreeable to the boards of both Deerfieldâ€"Shields and the Lake County Nonâ€"High school districtsâ€"after much discussion. There are many collateral and imâ€" portant, though minor, reasons that could be mentioned, but, in brief, the above suggestions constitute the maâ€" jor considerations that actuate the village in this most important matâ€" ter. f Approximately â€" $2,000,000 will be refunded to counties this year to reâ€" pay them for the cost of constructing state aid‘ roads which have been inâ€" corporated in the state bond issue system, Gov. Louis L. Emmerson was informed today‘ by the ‘division of highways. Counties This Year to Get Two Million Refund on Highways Payments will be made only to the counties which, on March 1, last, were listed in a complete inventory of the outstanding refund obligations of the state. And, in 1931, additional refunds toâ€" taling approximately $500,000 will be made, according to Chief Highway Engineer Frank T. Sheets. The March 1 inventory showed that approximately $2,115,145.51 was due and payable to the counties, and $1,â€" 987,625.08 available in the refund acâ€" count. The final certificates have not been completed for all of the sections under. consideration, and therefore this amount may be reduced slightly. Each year the department attempts to pay all refunds which may be outâ€" standing, but when funds are not available to meet the entire amount that is due, the sum set aside for reâ€" funds is prorated to the various counâ€" ties in proportion to the total amount due them. On the basis of the March 1 invenâ€" tory, the department this year will be able to pay the counties approxâ€" imately 94 per cent of the amount due them. Respectfully, Lake Bluff Citizens Committee.
