they can use their present high school
buildings for grade school purposes
and thus avoid erecting a half dozen
new buildings in the various towns In
stead of the one central building that
is proposed.
In addition, there is no question
that a central high school will do
more to improve and develop the
West Shore than any one other thing.
Hundreds of peopie will not go to the
West Shore because of the lack of
high school facilities and those who
do go insist that their children be

law entitles them.
The Situation In a Nutshell
The Lemoyne school board has is
sued a statement on the loan subject
to their people which sums up the
situation in general for all the
boroughs an communities affected,
showing that the new school will be
a big improvement and not any more
expensive than the present unsatis
factory system. It is as follows:
"The undersigned school directors
of the Lemoyne School District here
by submit the following statement for
the Information of the voters of the
Borough of Lemoyne, who desire to
vote at the coming election upon the
proposed loan for the establishment
of a new Joint high school In the
school district of Canip Hill, Lemoyne,
Wormleysburg, East Pennsboro and
West Fairvlew. Our present High
school is a high school of the third
class, with a 3-year course, and a
nine-month term.
"This year it will cost our district
about $2,100 to maintain it, this sum
Includes the tuition of four pupils
i from our last year's graduating class
who are attending the Harrisburg
high school, (Pupils who graduate
from a school of the second or third
. class, have the privilege, under exist-
I lng laws to complete their education
! at a first-class high school, at the ex
-1 pense of their school district. This
| right, and this expense cannot be
evaded by the directors of the district.)
;The tuition In Harrisburg per term
I for each scholar from an outside dis
trict is $71.25.
' "Our next graduating class Includes
i 10 scholars, if these take advantage
fallowed them by the law, in the same
j proportion as the last year's class, and
' complete their education in the Har
rlsburg High school it will increase
I the expense $498.75, which will bring
; the cost of maintaining our high
school up to about $2,600. The school
; directors are powerless to prevent this
increase, the law prescribes their
| duties and they are lawfully bound to
perform them. This expense will In
crease as our graduating classes in
crease In number.
"Every room In our school build
ing is now occupied, it will be only a
very short time until we will have to
make provisions for a larger school
building unless we go in with a Joint
high school. By taking our high
school out of our present building. It
will accommodate our grades for a
number of years to come.
Proposed New Joint High School
"To participate In the new Joint high
school of the it is proposed
to issue bonds to the amount of $lO,-
3 20, bearing 5 per cent, interest re
deemable in SO years.
"The expense each year would be:
Interest on bonds. $516; sinking fund
to redeem bonds, $34 4 ; estimated cost
to maintain 40 pupils in Joint high
school, $1,800; total, $2,660.
"According to the above estimate,
which we consider conservative, It
would cost our school district about
the same as It would to continue under
our present system.
"The new school would enable the
pupils to complete their high school
course within 4 years in our own
schools. As It is they must attend the
Lemoyne high school three years and
the Harrisburg high school two years
to get a first-class high wcnool educa
tion under present condition, and It
costs the district to keep the pupils
In school five years where It would
only cost for four years if we had a
Joint high school.
"The board of directors will cheer
fully furnish any further information
that may be desired by the voters.

COST OF MAKING
PAPER IS LESS
[Continued From First Page]
| ested given an opportunity to appear.
Certain facts are made public now
because most of the publishers' con
tracts for paper are about to expire.
Contract prices rose this year from
less than $2 per hundred to $3 and
$3.50. and on current market pur
chases the publishers have paid $7
or more for paper bought in the same
way prior to January 1 for between
$2 and $3.
The statement says in part:
"The price advance in news-print
paper which occasioned this invest
igation began early in 1916 and has
continued down to the present. Before
the price advance began contract
prices for news-print paper were gen
erally less than $2 per 100 pounds,
f. o. b. mill. During the first half of
1916 contract prices fr large quan
tities in some instances went as high
as $3 per 100 pounds and since July
1, 1916, have run as high as $3.50. Be
fore January 1, 1916, current market
prices ranged generally between $2
and $3 per 100 pounds, delivered; but
t since that time they have gone up as
high as $6 or $7 per 100 pounds for
a considerable volume of business.
