A Proclamation
Pursuant to a resolution passed by the Union Parish School Board of Union Parish, Louisiana, at a meeting held on the 1st day of October, 1929, I, Dr. Taylor, President, of said Parish School Board, do hereby give notice that, in compliance with said resolution, a special election will be held in Bernice School District No. 2, Parish of Union, Louisiana, on the 13th, day of November, 1929 for the purpose of submitting to the property tax payers qualified under the Constitution and laws of the State of Louisiana to vote at said election, the following proposition, to-wit:
To levy a special tax of three mills on the dollar on all the property in Bernice School District No. 2 Parish of Union, Louisiana, subject to State taxation, annually, for a period of five years, for general educational purposes in, said school district. It is understood that these 3 mills to be voted are to take the place of the 3 mills maintenance tax not be any increase in millage rate in said district.
For the purpose of said special election the polling place will be the Mayor’s office at Bernice, and the following commissioners and clerks of election of each polling place have been appointed to serve at this election, all of them will serve without compensation:
Clerk J. R. Hammock; commissioners, A. F. Pratt, C. C. Moore, and C. J. Heard.
At said special election the polls will open at seven o’clock A. M. and close at six o’clock P. M. and the election will be conducted in accordance with the laws of Louisiana applicable thereto.
The reason for asking for this special 3 cent tax is that the maintenance tax for the Bernice school district has expired and there is no money in the treasury with which to take care of the incidental expenses of the school.
At the present time there is needed grated for the the furnace at the school buildings and a large number of window lights will have to be replaced and several other things needed about the building. But as the tax has expired there is no funds for this purpose. To relieve the situation it is very necessary that the voters cast their votes for the 3 cent maintenance tax, on November 13th, 1920.
In a conference meeting Wednesday night at the Baptist church, tho Rev. Morgan that preached here Sunday, was unanimously elected to serve the church as pastor, and will preach here Sunday.
