• Of the total taxes paid each year hy (his Lompaiiy and a»8oeialed Com*
panics as citizens pf your ^onjinunity, a suhstantial proportion goes to
the support of yoiir Schools^ '
• The doinpanies’ total tax hill for 19119 exceeded $3,000,000—more
than $8,000 a flay! One of the large items in it was school taxes.
• Educators have estimated that in the United States the average cost of
putting a child through one year of public school is about $75.00. If
the total taxes paid annually hy these Companies were applicable to
educational purposes alone, they would provide a year's education for
something like 40,000 children every school year!
• Our taxes are important to the proper .maintenance and conduct of
not only public schools hut also all forms of government. They are an
obligation of citizenship and contribute to the welfare of communities
throughout the territory we serve.
