Bell Issues Statement to Skokie School Subscribers What is the financial status of the Skokie School project? In response to many inquiries President Bell of the Winnetka Board of Education has furnished the accompanying cir- cular letter to the editor of the Win- netka Talk. The letter explains in detail the exact status of the great community school enterprise. "To the Subscribers to the West Elm Street School: "The new school which your gen- erosity has helped to build is now rapidly nearing completion. You are entitled to a statement of the situa- tion at this time. "On the honor roll of contributors to be put up in the new school there are already over 700 names. $300,00 was subscribed. Of this amount three- quarters has been paid in. "The following is a statement of our situation: Total amount of subscrip- LR ER Ra be Seng $300,000.00 Amount of subscriptions paid-to date ..... ...«.. 224,518.25 Balance 'due; ....... $ 75,481.75 "All the contracts for the school itself have been let, and bids have been taken on all the incidental items such as grading around the founda- tions and walks and drives. The building proper, includ- ing all extras, architects' fees, insurance and inci- dental items will cost.. The sewer connections, walks, drives, grading and seeding will amount : 4 Fr MRE RN SARE $329,347.03 13,528.63 in ete ee $342,875.66 "Some adjustment will, of course, be necessary before we get through, but it is believed that this estimate is accurate. "It will be recalled that our origl- nal estimates for the building alone were $350,000; and that the Board concluded, when subscriptions for $300,000 were in hand, to start the building. Even after bids were taken, net savings over and above all extras of more. than $4,000 were effe ete, Total in government securities and by this means have earned interest to the amount of $1,536.67. "The Board had no power to issue bonds for any such amount as $342, 000. But even if it had had the power, an issue of $342,000 of bonds would have involved an annual carrying charge for interest and sinking fund of about $34,000. This is equivalent to one-quarter of our annual income. This fact alone will give you some idea of the tremendous contribution by the public-spirited inhabitants of Winnetka toward the maintenance of an efficient school system. "You have at the same time given to the children of this and succeed- ing generations a building of which there is every reason to be proud. It will have an assembly hall seat- ing over 1,000, a standard gymna- sium, sixteen rooms for class rooms and particular uses such as manual training and domestic science, a libra- ry, a teachers' rest room, administra- tive offices, etc. Our other school buildings will be restored to their normal capacity, and half-day sey sions and other temporary incon: veniences will be eliminated. Despite the steady increase of children, we will be keeping up our equipment in a manner commensurate with our ideals for our children, "It is hoped that the campaign soon to be started among newcomers and non-subscribers will raise suffi- cient funds to make unnecessary any appeal for "plus" subscriptions from those who already have done their share. LAIRD BELL, President, Board of Education."
