Bonding Limit of this School District Increased

ELECTION A WEEK LATER

Governor Bliss has Signed the Bill Which Passed Both Houses

Governor Bliss has signed the bill to reincorporate School District No.1 of the City of Ann Arbor and it is now a law. This is the amended charter of this school district, which was drafted by the school board after the taxpayers' meeting last summer had authorized them to do so.

The principal change in the bill is to increase the bonding limit from $35,000 to three-quarters of one per cent, or $75,000. No bonds can, however, be issued without a vote of the people.

The time of the annual school election is changed from the first Monday to the second Monday in September.

The new charter also permits the board to elect a secretary and treasurer outside of its membership.
