SCHOOL MERGERS NOT
BEING CONSIDERED
AT PRESENT TIME
Dallas School Supt. W. T. White
announced last week that annexa-
tion of the Farmers Branch and
Pleasant Grove Independent
School Districts to the Dallas sys-
tem is not being considered for
the present.
Petitions from some residents
of the two districts had been pre-
sented to the Dallas board.
In a statement to a Dallas
newspaper last week White said.
“It is my understanding that the
trustees elected in Fanners Branch
and Pleasant Grove were elected
on the issue of being opposed to
annexation to Dallas.
“If that be true, the Dallas In-
dependent School District has no
interest in investigating the feasi-
bility of annexation.
The board of education in
Dallas has referred two petitions
to me for recommendations. But
unless further interest is shown
by the two districts concerned, I
shall make no further inquiries."
In a recent election in Farm-
ers Branch Glenn F. Brunson and
Jack C. Taylor won an overwhelm-
ing victory for the two places on
the school board. Both men ran
on a ticket favoring the construc-
tion of a high school in the dis-
trict and thereby remaining inde-
pendent.
Since the election, Brunson and
Taylor have been elected president
and vice-president of the board,
respectively.
o
On Saturday, May 24, an elec-
tion will be held In the Fanners
Branch Independent School Dis-
trict for the issuance of $30,000 in
bonds to equip the new elemen-
tary school now under construc-
tion in Field City.
Meeting in the school Tuesday
night the Farmers Branch school
trustees decided to call the elec-
tion for May 24. The board stated:
‘Due to the great increase in
labor and material the amount of
our last issue was insufficient to
complete and equip the school as
originally planned. On account of
our growing scholastic population
we did not consider it economical
or fair to reduce either the size or
type of the building proper. Hence
this issue is necessary to equip
this building in the same manner
as our other schools.
‘No Tax Raise’
“There will be no tax raise on
account of this bond issue. To
make the election legal It Is neces-
sary that the. election papers in-
cluding the ballots provide for the
levy of a tax to pay the bonds. But
this only means that such tax will
be levied at our present rate
against the present valuation
along with, and as a part of, our
total taxes for all purposes. The
district’s tax valuations on ac-
count of new construction and the
assessment of escaped property has
increased sufficiently to make our
bond issuing power more than suf-
ficient for the issue without a
raise. Occasionally it becomes
necessary to raise taxes in indi-
vidual cases to correct errors and
equalize values but such raises
have no connection with bond is-
sues," the board stated.
Hie bond issue is not connected
with the present High School pro-
gram, the board said. “We take
this occasion, however, to report
that we arc now working on the
matter of getting our High School
as soon as possible. This will take
