should have express authority to accept gifts, money

the three. In this way the differences can doubtless be reconciled.

In item No. 4 I concur that one-half mill authorized
levy would be 0.K. I also conour in item No. 5 because wider ow
arrangement the superintendents and other administrators will have
great difficulty in getting in commmity recreation, whereas they

ere using all their money now. Perhaps this will stimlate discussion

and argument and all of this may bring out a very favorable situation
in that some citizens will be prompted to give money, gifts or pro-
perty for the thing that they are in need of. Always when moot points
are discussed someone with property or bonds will see the need and

I do not believe a levy outside the limit would do the
job because it would put recreation out as a target to be shot at.
